Speed *55*? If it isn't a typo, then even I will be impressed :-)

<sneak peeks at fleet lists> Nothing but *Phuun-class frigates*??
They're nice as escorts for heavier ships, but I'd never dare to send
them out on their own - they die if someone breathes at them... they
could work against an enemy who uses no fighters or missiles (when you
only have 5 damage points per ship you don't really want to use even
PBL-1s as area point defence!) and who keeps all his ships in one nice
tight formation, but that's about it.

Then again, I probably don't qualify as "inexperienced" concerning
Phalons :-/ 

What Kra'Vak fleet did you use, BTW?
