This is what weapons races are all about. Also look at the history of
the
Battle of the Coral Sea.  And if Beth had used her nova cannons and wave
guns to good use then  this may not of happened.;)

Sorry won't do it again.;)
Beth is right in that the current run of novas and waves have been doing
poorly, but this comes from everyone going "F#@K a wavegun/nova cannon.
Its
coming straight for us, shoot it" and also with experienced players,
their
ships tend not to end up 2" right in front of one, I don't care how
cocky
you are its just not a good look.
