He kept his squadron all in one clump, thus I was pretty much
guaranteed to have something in arc; in fact the only time I
couldn't pretty much pick whatever target I wanted was when two
of them ended up behind me (about 2MU range and facing the wrong
way).

New.  I'll also point out that I was using battlecruisers with
K5's; had it been a greater number of K3's, for example, it
wouldn't have been as painful.

Scatterpacks weren't really that dangerous.  The MKPs were
certainly useful, though; IIRC, I got five "hits" from six
MKP's, so YMMV.
