It's also interesting to note that QR deployment during Space War 1 was limited to the later part of the engagement. They were exclusive to elite units on top the gender seperation. They were probably no more than a few hundred in the female fleet and certainly not everything was committed at once. Considering the weapons loadout, speed and overall combat power, the QR is a very expensive piece of equipment to field.

In other words, sure the aliens had a kick human a$$ piece of equipment- but they were almost always outnumbered, fighting in an environmental handicap and under constant fire from veteran units at maximum range.

Of course, once they get past all that we're usually screwed by indisciminate missile spamming >_<

If the assumption that Boldolza's fleet was completely male, then thankfully all of the QR were on the human side.
