Subject: FT-Swarms and PBL`s

O.O., I noticed my mistake about 3 mins after I sent the post, the correction
was in the second mail I sent (engauge maths cranial co processor
before sending mail, ie-think and count before sending, doh). Anyway, I
will have to try these things against soap bubble carriers, I can see these
things as very useful against such ships. Also, there is the variations
posible in weapons loadouts in these ships for different opponets
(ie-exchange SMR for PDS Vs fighters/soap bubble carriers, 3x C pulsars
for close attack version). As for PBLs, I say they destroy any fighters that
are within their area, whatever fighters they are. There is also the
posibility of PH version of these ships, with a single arc pulsar, firecon and
a single
class 1 PBL. Also, I don`t see non-FTL ships having to have a bonus cost
against them (well, I would, wouldn`t I), due to the fact that most people
will replace the FTL drive with extra weapons, most of the time, which would
increase the cost of the ships by 10% (for humans anyway). The LACs I posted
are a extream version of what is posible, and are actually vulnerable to
mishandling or mistakes (thing I`ll nickname them popcorn, because they go pop
so easly).
