Hey everyone. Well I just woke up a bit ago...(yeah I know, having my own biz gives these benefits) after playing Sins until 4am.

My first real game. I played on the first scenario..the random small map against an Easy Random AI. The game was a real learning experience. Figured out many things during the game I didnt understand before. Figured out the whole pirate thing and bidding to avoid raids. I figured out to pay attention to planetary upgrades to increase like the population one so the planet would stop being a money sink and make money along with setting up the trade ports etc.

I think I still need to start my next game and then pause it and spend like an hour just reading every item on the Research trees as I really dont know what half that stuff even is.

Anyway...I saved my game last night to finally go to sleep. When I quit though I was a bit confused the game was still going on. To summarize I had uncovered the whole galaxy. I have basically 2 fleets. Each one has 2 Capital ships and a collection of 20 or so frigates of various types. I rolled these 2 fleets around and wiped out all my opponets planets and every ship I saw. I kept my bribe/bid higher then them on pirates nad avoided most any raids.

I uncovered the Pirate system...has about a billion ships in it, lol. Anyway...do I have to kill all the pirates to win the game? I dont think my opponent has anymore ships flying around...all i think that is left is maybe 1-2 mining platform things. Do I just need to get rid of them somehow? Its strange is that on one that was in this one nebuola like system I couldnt seem to target it. Any help appreciated.
