IF you can reliably connect with 3 missiles (or more), the regular kind 
IMHO win. 21 points damage, average, screws up anyone under supership.

Fighter squadrons with aces are nice, but the chance is too small to be 
relied on.

Personally, I'm thinking of disallowing 3 screens, or making them
much more expensive. As things stand, you've got capitals with 3 screens

and you've got crappy capital designs unable to withstand fire.

Pretty much likewise for Scr-2 cruisers...
