I am kinda of in agreement with the needle missle school of thought...
somebody posted a design for a crusier that packed 8 missles, all
needle, and fan them so the dreadnought can't possibly avoid them all!!
once you down the sheilds, close in with the rest of you line ships and
and "try" to down it...
sounds like my stragety, next time somebody decides to take a
superdreadnought in a 1000 point game :)
