Re: Affectiveness of FSE BDN?

G'day ALan,

>We normally play with cinematic movement. 

Then the job just got a LOT harder (especially for those pesky fast
ships).

I'll freely admit here that if I haven't taken out enough big guys for
the
FSE to be able to duel it out with what's left then I leave ;)

>When using cinematic movement...

Like I said you'be got a tough job and it sounds like you're doing
pretty
well! In Showdown (the only game where I've ever played cinematic
movement)
there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth (and talk of SMs may be
being
too strong) when I managed to get my SMs on target, unfortunately that
only
really happened once. Now the SMs have run dry, and I stayed too close
to
long (and I can't just leave) and have payed the price big time [though
its
amusing to note there's been no discussion of beam weapons maybe hitting
too often ;)].

Cheers

Beth
