Many players think their main enemy in VGAP is the other players but
it's not.  Your real enemy and the one that will get you exterminated is
LOGISTICS, i.e. how you manage time, distance, fuel, mega credits and
minerals.  Improperly done and you play a game of constant struggle just
to keep your wheels turning.  Big ships are no use without fuel and
fighters.  A rich starbase can build nothing without minerals.  Attacks
fizzle and stop without planning.  So, plan your freighter moves as
carefully as you plan your attacks.  In the long run, it may be your
freighters who win the war for you!
