I've run and won fights against K'V with even points. 
Of course, that was with a force containing two P-torp
heavy designs in the capital ship class.  (Hi,
Laserlight!).  P-torps are a workable counter vs. K'V
weapons, as they are the only thing that can generate
_more_ damage per round (do the math!) than railguns.

Beam weapons are secondary weapons for anything bigger
than a light cruiser, anyway.  IMHO.

I feel that missles would be useful, but only en
masse.	That's a hypothesis, and an unproven one at
that.
