[FT] Battle report and questions

Hello Beth,

> My experience only comes from vector unfortunately, but what we've

It was my first use of Kra'Vak, and we both thought prior to the battle that
the Kra'Vak would win. A change of tactics next time i think.

True, the KV are not paying for screens. Against any other opponent at all,
the Sa'Vasku would have to use power allocation for defence to power up screen
nodes. With no requirement against the KV, it means simply more power
allocated to weapons (that is what happened anyway). True, the node mass is
wasted, but the power they require certainly isn't!

> Paul even though they're not the monstrosities of old they can still

Never used the monstrosities of old, although i did face them and won all
three times (equal points). Admittedly, casually announcing huge chunks of
damage when i managed to get the K-guns on target made me smile! I'm not
giving up on the Kra'Vak. No way! One battle doesn't decide it for me that
easily.:)

Cheers,

The Kra'Vak are tricky to fly, yes. During the playtesting this came up on
several occasions: the standard "first impression" was that the KV were too
weak, but once the players got the hang of them they got a lot more powerful.

> Mmm not sure if that actually makes sense seeings as the KV aren't

Against missile- or P-torp-heavy fleets I wouldn't bother with the
screens. Against Phalons, now... <g>
