Actually Conan was paraphrasing a translation of The Virtues of a Mongol by Genghis Khan.
"Man's greatest good fortune is to chase and defeat his enemy, seize his total possessions, leave his married women weeping and wailing, ride his gelding, use the bodies of his women as a nightshirt and a support, gazing upon and kissing their rosy breasts, sucking their lips which are sweet as the berries of their breasts."

Re: Hidden facts of SE IV
Another hidden fact:
Light carriers can carry the same size weapons as light cruisers.
And another hidden fact:
SEIV is a tool used by extraterrestial governments to recruit stellar Empire leaders.
And another hidden fact:
Tachyon sensors can sense what is in the next starsystem over.
And if you get the message from an AI "Your growth is astonishing!" that means you are sitting too close to the screen and bump on your face is growing from the radiation.

If you are talking about mounts, that would be battleships, as they can use heavy mounts. Rather gamey tactic if you ask me though...

I hope that was just a joke, as it isn't true.

Re: Hidden facts of SE IV
OOPs I must have misheard.
A friend told me this. In a conversation on sensors in SEIV I pointed out that sensors were virtually the same except Hyperoptics as they were the cheapest and quickest to get to.

And another hidden fact:

Hidden fact about SEIV:
The defender almost always shoots first at a warp point. And I think it may be always.
