If I can barely threshold a mass 100 ship with a mass
200 ship (these ships will have equivalent weapons
loads) the two smaller ships will _not_ threshold
the big ship.  Second turn, you have a thresholded
ship, I do not.  You set off 1/2 your firepower,
still no threshold.  I set off all of mine.  The
thresholded ship has another threshold, maybe two
and is a mission kill.

You then fire what is left, I take a threshold.  I
have tons  of DCPs.  I fix  much and threshold your
second ship.
