fleet survey

Beth/Allan,

I have several fleets actually. An extensive NSL fleet (basically my huge
battle fleet) An extensive Kravak fleet (the generically hated enemies.. well
so far at least) A smallish ESU fleet... just because I love the look of the
Battleship
&
   the BDN
A smallish FSE fleet... cause the Foch SDN is a pretty cool looking
mini....

I don't have my copy of FB2 yet... but I really can't see owning the phalon
minis... they just don't seem all that (hum... chose words carefully)
interesting. As far as the Savasku go.... I'd have to say I'm a ditto there
too... Most likely I'll just stick to riding my motorcycles this summer and
wing it...

My recomendation for fleets in order of preference (official fleet... an

my play style... Rember I like big ship of the line minis... and kinda try to
play like that....)

1.  NSL -> they just look cool... but tactically the big ships are
really too slow, but they are huge damage sinks. I prefer the cruisers,

           especially the rictofen/heavy cruisers.....
2.  ESU -> At first I really didn't like them.  I think that the super
           destroyer, frigate, and the "new" hulls (- the BC of course),

and the "new" ca are fairly nice looking. But in practice the ships fight very
well. So even though this was the 4th fleet I picked up I'd put them 2nd
really.
3.  Kravak-> cool looking minis.... under the old rules they were
butt-kickers.
I'll have to see for the new rules though...
4.  FSE -> The mini's look cool, the SML's are pretty cool too... but
design wise the FSE I don't think have a very good fleet construction... I'm
more the loadem up with SML's kinda guy. However I do like the
           manuverability... and if you retrofit the CA with class-3's,
along
           with the CE/CL's... you can have a pretty kick ass high speed

cruser force.
5.  NAC -> they're just not really that cool... This was my 2nd fleet...

but after playing with them for a bit... I really prefer the ESU play wise
over them.

Anyway........ that's my apples.
