We've had a few games were a group of FSE small guys (DDs) have come up
against the NSL BB or similar. The DDs got hit pretty hard but they did
manage to cripple the BB with their SMs (mainly because it had stopped
dead). I wouldn't want to do a beam match off with the BB though unless
you
had quite a few small ships that could keep the 4 firecons occupied and
still get damage in somewhere.
