Or versus massive numbers of SM's at slow speeds/ on a tight table. ;->=

Another question, though, is it more worthwhile to buy bays of
interceptors, and not have the points tied to particular places in the
fleet. Assuming you aren't moving the whole thing as one tight mass, of
course.

Haven't cogitated on the cost analysis, mind you, as fighters ARE
expensive, and, if you use the rules, limited by endurance. However,
they
can concentrate their power.

I love it! The domed ends and funky ridges could stand proudly in any

'wings'
had lovely George Pal connotations.
