Re: Stars Wars FT SSDs

Well, the X-Wing series is pretty much canon, so they're actually 
anti-fighter weapons. Capital ships usually went to continuous fire on 
the one launcher as soon as fighters got in range. They did get used 
against other capital ships, but only at close range and not for a lot 
of damage.  Nobody ever fielded an escort with lots of launchers (or a 
warship with proton torps), but it could have made attacks a lot more 
expensive. Call 'em ADFCs.

If you have a joystick and any 3D card at all, X-Wing: Alliance is $10 
in the bargain bin. You owe it to yourself, I'm halfway through it for 
the second time :-)

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are
hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
