massive battles are what makes it to the press, but the real fun is in small skirmishes in unconquerable space (wormhole space). The game mechanics prevents massive swarms - so you'll be fighting highly elite, small groups (in the order of 5-10), in small to medium sized ships.

It takes skill, dedication, as well as some luck (since you can't tell who is in the "system" with you in wormhole space, unlike in regular space). You have to constantly do scan, and entrances and exists shift (so you _can_ get stuck with no way back).

But that's the fun of it!
