Re: Gunboats in FT...

I couldn't agree more with what David said below. I love the kind of 
Napoleonic Sea Battle Feel to the game; SuperHeavy Dreadnoughts 
exchanging broadsides and all that kind of thing. Sure, a realistic (!) 
21st century space combat game might well be fighter oriented, but I 
still don't use them as much as some people.

The fact is that they're just too good; and being fed up with my 
dreadnoughts being taken out by swarms of heavy and torpedo fighters I 
have resorted to having a small fleet of frigates with 2 ADAF systems 
each; this seems to do the trick!

Tip for the Day:  Broadside of Pulse Torpedo Launchers
