Re: Affectiveness of FSE BDN?

Hullo all

I agree.  I don't think the group I play with has quite figured out the
FSE 
in general and the BDN just does not cut it anyway we've sliced it so
far.

The BDN seems to be the ultimate 'compromise' ship.  It lacks sufficient

launchers to be an effective SML ship.	It lacks sufficient beam weapons
( 1 
class 3 on a BDN ?!?) to slug it out and one fighter sqdn is not much of
a 
threat.  Its fast, but I can't figure out where to manouver it to. 
Again it 
seems that the FSE ship excels at running away :-)=

Two ADFC equiped ships does make it very tough to punch a hole through.
Try 
the scenario again with only on ADFC equiped ship and see how it goes.

The FSE CH is a very impressive ship.  My personal fav of the FSE fleet.
