<sigh> i think i may be. The ones with the Ronin +
Samurai as classes of Cruisers?

I guess my gripe is that they seem to be well
_gunned_, but lack the range or integrity to hold
anything to, say, the NSL. and the Hyperdimensional
whatchamacallit seems useless as a weapon, unless all
one is going up against is 'popcorn'. I've tried using
it many times and EVERYONE (minus said 'poppers')
shrugs ot off. All kinds of fun to say, no fun to
shoot.

further, while the drives are potentially 'fast', once
my ships get into harms way, they die faster. YMMV.
but the fleet i usually go up against is typically
NSL-centred and I simply cannot do enough  damage to
his ships before mine are tinsel.
