This occured in the second Forgeworld scenario, when a converted bulk
freighter unloaded 25 SMR (er) salvoes into the two largest ships (I was
aiming for 5 separate ships, but one got triple whammied).  It was
certainly
a shock to the forgeworlders, as they had minimal pds active (we'd
already
lost most of the fighters) and weren't expecting to be hit by such a
dense
single turn salvo.

We still lost the scenario (due to earlier losses & piecemeal attacks),
but
reduced their fighting power enough that a third task force could
complete
the destruction at a later date.
