RE: FB2 Fleets (or "How I Learned to Hate the Savasku")

I would have to agree with earlier posts in that Sa'vasku seem to be
quite
hard
for the opposition to deal with.

I think that i have played about 3 games at most as Sa'vasku against
Kra'vak
and 
Phalons and i won against both of them, however at the time both facing
the 
Sa'vasku was new to the opponents and the fleets they were using were
also
new to 
them.  If i had played against their normal FB1 fleets , NAC and FSE,
i'm
sure i 
would have had a lot harder time.

Having read what other people have said about evening up the Sa'vasku i
would 
agree that you have to force them into manouvering and using power
against 
fighters and missiles. Also they have a bigger advantage when given more
playing
space, they can use it better than other races, and a smaller playing
space 
say 5ft x 5ft means that they will need power to manouver or run off the
board.

One more point of course is that when the Sa'vasku loses a power
generator
they 
become really disadvantaged as no other race loses 1/4 of their fire
power
just 
from losing a row of hull boxes, in fact i would sugest that other races
would 
be at an advantage over Sa'vasku after losing a row of hull boxes, and
it
does
not seem as simple to repair the Sa'vsku as it is to repair systems for
the 
other races. 

I can envisage the Sa'vasku taking a serious beating from the NAC or FSE
with 
SML's, fighters and P'torps all used together, in a concerted attack on
the
larger
Sa'vasku ships.
