Shame that (for this) you can't replay the action. You know - once watching the pretty lights (Hud off, external view), once watching a particular battle as the two flagships clash, and once one each fleet in the sector list.
But, it's still a very interesting exercise.
Now, if I was more familiar with Visual Studio, I'd have knocked up a fleet calculator which would help in building the fleets with compatible weapons, missiles and check costs...
Been thinking about doing something to extract the weapon info from TLasers & TBullets, would be easy to change it for something like this, if I'd got anywhere with it

I have no problems with the HUD being active, unless anyone know of a way to have the HUD off and the ships hull/shield bars be on the left/right side of the screen (one side for each fleet).
Plus I want to see if my wager was right. 
And my fleet has been messed with yet again.

What do I care for the HUD? It's not that big and there will be more important things happening (like big boOOOom) I can watch. Glas the problems have been sorted.

For this I might suggest making liberal use of the left and right target monitors. Perhaps giving focus to each fleet's biggest ship (on the slow fly-by setting), so we can always see what's going on at the focal points in the battle, while the main cam is zoomed in on a particular interesting part of the action.

I've run the fight three times over and every single time, [spoilerremoved]'s fleet won.  I think this happened because of the M1.
I recorded all three times but I think only the last recording is good. I'll be posting it on youtube soonish after I've edited it. (There will be no commentary for this match.)
And I've updated the fleet list.

Erm. Happened because of the M1? I have no M1, therefore spoiler removing means nothing.
Unless, you mean he lost because of his M1.  |
And what makes you think he lost?

Absolutely no way all that can fit. I just ran the numbers.
Total cargo space needed: 1,531.
The problem is the missile loadout. Hornets take up 3 units of cargo space per missile and Thunderbolts take up 6 units of cargo space per missile. Those two missiles take up 900 of the 975 cargo space.

Eh?
Neither fleet has an M1. Though Ashkrowe does have an M2 (Python) carrying CFAs that it can't use.  I'm excited to see how the battle went, mind!
