EPT's would also give a good reason to take heavier plasmas in Orion option mounts. |

Well, the Skyhawk would have a very hard time against any of the refit DD's and a DDW would wreck it... but remember that this was a Franz Joseph lollypop; no drone rack, no PH-3's, and only 19 total ... |

I've done a bunch of duels with Hydran ships of various sizes versus equivalent Klingon ships; I've never felt that the Hellbore was a disadvantage and (aside from a few where the dice just went crazy ... |

Hellbores in direct-fire mode = Hydrans win.
DF Hellbores are a major power boost for the Hydrans. I play Hydrans a lot and frankly I don't see the need. |

Because fusion beams don't have to be powered until the moment of firing, fusion ships can be pretty fast. Consider using standard loads at range 8 rather than slowing down to overload.

To continue with what KofG (Tal!) was saying:
Gorns: I prefer the Medium Cruiser over the old Battlecruiser; for only one point more you get a little more power and a better set of Pl-S arcs. The H ... |

It's just a good thing they can't carronade. That'd make the 'defensive' F's just too potent, limitations and all. |

How do I go about doing that, please? I've done some searching on this forum, but either I'm looking right past it or my search terms are wrong. |

Sorry, sir- I don't have access to those. Did I duplicate one of your Command Notes? If so, I apologise and assure you that I did not intend such. |

For heavy drone-using empires: There's a lot of planning put into packing as many drones into a wave as possible, so as to overwhelm an enemy's intercepts and start scoring hits. What I'm going to say ... |

Thanks, Terry. Given that the CS and the CL share the same card, I figured it would be a fair question.
Maybe this weekend I'll take it for a spin and find out how it runs. |

Tourney rules say no more than two identical ships.
Would that bar an ISC squadron consisting of two CL's and a CS? |

Against the heavy drone users the 2CS squadron would give better FA point defense, but the CA/CS squadron has a bigger tool kit... and the extra 4 'defensive' F-torps and 3 vs. 2 'defensive' launches ... |
