Agrree- my last game, which I completely dominated militarily, showed me ranked #6 out of 7 for the majority of the game. Even at the end, when it was just me and two other races left, I was number 3. When the game ended, it showed I had killed about 1200 enemy ships while only losing about 25 myself. The AI definitely had larger fleets than I did, but the majority of them were small ships with 1-3 offense and 0-1 defense. Whereas most of my ships were pushing 20-50 offense, and 10-50 defense. It seems the 'military ranking' overemphasizes ship quantity over ship quality.
