I'm thinking sheer firepower over crew strength. I mean, Infinity isn't called that for no reason, it's basically a city. And the Pillar ain't exactly flagship material in the face of a multiple kilometre long armada of metal. I realize the sentimental value of having an old Halcyon cruiser take on a 1000-ship fleet, but it's just not practical. And yes, while typing this, I have come to the realization that I am a -blam!-ing mega-nerd.
