The problem here is that within an FSE fleet your primary weapons are
SM's and
you can't compete within class two weapons range with unless you get
behind them
(ie. you are following them in their aft 180).	This is hard to due and
why that
game I played took 22 turns.  The problem with putting salvo where your
opponents
must go is that you have to be within SM range to do.  At high speeds
this is not
easy to do while avoiding the the frontal arc of enemy ships.  (Note I
was
fighting ESU.  Against lower thrust NSL ships it should be easier.)
