Re: FT-Tugs and swarm tactics

Actually, I have a ton of experience with this very
thing.	Facing Sa'Vasku Monoliths was unbeatable.  He
didn't even take many fighters, just a bunch of
FireCons and blasters(I don't remember the official
name for them) and an immense amount of power.	He had
so much power to pump into the blasters, he could hit
us from accross the board before we could get close. 
When we finally got a few remaining ships close, he
was even more efficient at blowing us up.  We finally
came to the same conclusion.  Phalons and Kra'Vak are
balanced, but we no longer allowed Sa'Vasku....thier
ships allow too much leeway for abuse when custom
building.
