No URL; just on a sheet of paper, in pre-FB1 style, and in someone
else's hands. It probably should be pointed out FB style but a guesstimation
at the table before a game showed it to be close.
What I recall is 2 class-5 beams, 17 PDS, 1 ADFC, 6 FCs, MD2,
4 screen generators (too much redundacy or I would needle them). and a lot
more other beams; at short beam range it has about 70 dice
in its best arc and around 65 dice in 2-4 other arcs.
I'll copy it down next time I see it, also to verify its numbers, and let you
know. The owner has a lot of Aquarian miniatures and SSDs. Come to think of
it, he might have downloaded the SSDs from somewhere but I don't know where.

I've come up with some little needlers (mass 14, MD6, 2 needles, 2 armor, 2
hull, 1 FC, 48 points) to work him over but if that big boy has escorts then
they can wipe out a lot of those needlers. I put on the extra armor and hull
(the first threshold has a slim chance of wiping out the FC or both needles)
just to avoid PDS
fire from taking out "one-hit wonders".  :)
