Sorry, should've been clearer. I tend to lose weapons _proportionally_
faster (ie, by the time I've lost half of my firecons, I've usually lost
over three-quarters of my weapons...). I'm used to having my ships blown
up
or being defeated because all weapons have been destroyed, but
(excepting
needle beams) the firecons don't die until the third treshold check - if
that :-/
