Most definitely.
Kai, what the heck happened to your fleet going to carlwolcott? I'm sure the last time I looked it was fairly big and now it's got only a handful of ships in it :S Surely those 32 Battleships can't have done that much damage, can they? >.<
I'd be interested in seeing that battle report, btw. When I start to work on that calculator properly it'll make a nice test case.
I traded steel efficiently and quatloo inefficiently as follows:
Fleet: Fleet #26435, 77 (26435) Battle! -- Our Ships Lost:
cruisers -- 9
subspacers -- 45
destroyers -- 5
Fleet: Fleet #19960, 40 battleships (19960) Battle! -- Their Ships Lost:
battleships -- 8
Remaining:
cruisers:6
superbattleships:2
subspacers:5
destroyers:5
vs 32 battleships
Resources lost:
steel / quatloos
59250 722500
100000 200000
Original fleet resources:
500000 1000000
130625 1050000
So I traded very efficiently considering original costs as long as I leave now.
