I build my DD as slightly heavier that normal (aprox 42 mass), and fit
them
with 3 pds, adfcon, and weapons (usually beams, some with torps, some
with
missiles (sml`s and MT)). I try to have both escort and attack in one
ship,
not a easy ballance, but if done right will make a squadren that is more
flexible in that it can do both duities.
