Kang, after getting repeatedly trounced by my son trying to beat the LR, I do beleive it cannot be beat by a similiar point value ship with captains of reasonably similiar skill.

From my limited experience, the LR just got right on my i eat my boogers and there was nothing i could do to shake him off other than HET and he was often right on my i eat my boogers so I couldn't even HET without him moving right to my rear again.

I was crushed. My son decided to use 3 plsam F's this time. We traded fire at range 6 at the end of the 1st turn. Each doing about 10 points. His stealth bonus gave him a decided edge at that range.

My son and I are learning the game. He loves the Orion Light Raider with a gatling and two plasma-F loadout. With its stealth coating it is good at resisting direct fire. The plasmas can be used as stand-off weapons and can carronade if need be. Engine doubling can prevent any tractor attempts. I am ...
