Capital vs. Other sizes...

We ran a comparison engagement between 1 Mass 100 Dreadnaught(FTL) Thrust 3
vs. 15 mass 8 Light Attack Craft (FTL) Thrust 8. The 15 LACs ate it for
breakfast. Each LAC was armed with 1 "B" battery and
two Submunition Racks, or, 1 Needle Beam and 2 Sub-Racks. They
approached in three groups of 5 from differing arcs. The DN fried 3 on
approach with AA Megabatt and "A" Batt fire. The LACS then fired a total of 24
Submunition racks at a range of less than 10" for 72 dice of submuntion rack
fire for a damage point total of 39 points. (slightly more than average by a
couple of points) The SD had 50 DPs to begin with and was down to 11. Most of
it's internal systems were gutted including drives etc. The LACs then
proceeded to fry what was left with needle fire and B batt fire. I would MUCH
rather face 1 opponent than a Horde of High Thrust small fry.

The Dreadnaught HAD level 3 screens BEFORE the submunition attack. Afterward
it had only one. (Until the needle ships chopped it up..) Anyone who uses only
Beam weapons against Cap ships deserves what
he gets....

Query: what would happen if the small-fry had *only* C and B batts,
and the Dreadnought 3 levels of screens? (or did it already?) Would this
change the outcome drastically, or only slightly?

Just a random thought for the morning...
