I use a combo attack of fighters MT missiles and salvo missles.
It works against steve most of the time, accept when your ships are
flying
with him.

All this will be moot in two weeks as Steve is leaving for
Jacksonville, Florida, about an 8 hour drive from Miami.
And in one of the last FT sessions we'll have while he's
here I'll be at Origins.  We also lost another player this
week (moving away), another is ill and not getting better
so he hasn't been around much, and another has a varying
work schedule.	Good thing Matt and Andy are still here.
