I did learn a very important lesson in that game Jerry, don't close to
point blank range with a Superdread and expect to live very long.

I think that I was the only player in that game that wasn't Shogun at
somepoint. Though I think that was due to the fact that I was using the
black powder weapons while most people were honourable, but I did serve
many different Shoguns, thanks to Jason.

Those were only Torpedo Fighters that Indy blow my BattleCruiser away
with, though I think that was due the PDAF iluminating the hull as they
completely missed the incoming fighter groups.

I hate when I'm right but in the wrong way. It was a good thing that you
kept the Heavy Cruisers close to the moon.
