Yes. Single target. I used ring since it's not a simple fire-arc 
coverage.

I didn't have any particular tech in mind. It does lend itself to 
non-human (or at least non-standard) tactical thinking, however. A fleet

that had only A3D's and point defense capability (basically nothing 
effective antiship from 0-12", would be a different challenge to play 
and play against. I am thinking of an alien fleet at the moment, but 
have not fleshed them out yet.

Or something like the rips being statistically more probable where space

is already strained by grav wakes, so aiming requirements not 
particularly stringent.

It's good for you. It'll put hair on your chest.  ;-)
