I've fought up to five (!!!) computer ships at once, and it's TOUGH... my
kill ratio drops to about seven to one at that point.  That doesn't count all
the times they run into each other (stupid!).  It's lots of fun when your
directional controls are trashed and you just drift along at about .5 c
blasting the poor fools as they try to catch up with you (WARNING:  don't try
this in certain star systems!  You'll run into something before your repairs
are completed.)....

I play only ROMULANS, of course.  Love them powerful, wide-spread plasma
cannon....
