I happen to like the Nova and Wave Gun, but it takes a relatively big
fleet to make them worthwhile.	Remember that the Nova doesn't have to
hit to be useful.  Fire a couple at one flank of his formation and he
has to move his ships closer together, setting up missles or a 2nd Nova
salvo.	Fire at the center of the formation and he has to split,
allowing your other ships to defeat him in detail.  And there's nothing
like a good Wave Gun salvo to take out those pesky fighters that are
about to close. 8)

Hope this helps,
