[@Ophidian] well. I feel bad about scaring someone away from an rp, so go ahead and stay. I'll take my worthless nation and fuck off.

I'd hate to see any player to leave.

Also to be honest destroying countries in casual warship salvos is pretty staple in space opera. So having huge ships is actually not a guaranteed bonus.
Just try to play them low when it'd dominate the plot or something. Fictional writers do that all the time.
