Yep. The limitations of single player are obvious, even with the improved AI of SCXIIc and LW/Ami. Nothing compares to facing a human opponent, and dealing with the occassional cheater is a small price to pay for the majority of quality matches. Even within the structure of a virtual fleet, you can always find the people you trust and can play with without worry (he said with some irony [but not enough for the point to be lost]).

That said, I don't think virtual fleets are for everyone for various reasons, but it is a great way to find opponents and multiplayer really is the way to play a combat simulation.
