   I haven't had a chance to get a second copy to keep at work yet.  :-)

   I'm at training for a couple of days, so I won't have chance to reply
to
 this one until later in the week.  I think I'm going to try to test out
the
 fighter escort scenario.  What I'm thinking is to see what the average
results
 would be for a NAC BDN vs several ships from the power that uses salvo 
 missiles (name slips my addled brain).  I'm going to have to look up
the cpv 
 formulas to figure out what should be balanced.  I'm thinking of seeing
how 
 the results change based on the distance between the ships when the
first SM 
 salvo goes in.  It will be by necessity somewhat simplified, but it
should 
 show the differences if any.  If anyone would like to let me know what
should
 be combat balanced against a standard NAC BDN (I was thinking a cruiser
and 
 light cruiser) that would be great.  Then I'm going to need to figure
how the
 cpv changes when you make it a NAC BDN with 2 fighter groups and only 1
PDS.
