In webgames and FtF games, this seems the better use for plasma (cheap
anti-missile/fighter) in the early part of the game.  Once the incoming
ordinance falls off, I start targetting them offensively using "rolling
wave" tactics (1/2 the PBLs launch each turn).  They tend not to do a
lot of damage over the game, but the area effect and the constant barrages
whittles
the hulls down and/or forces them to move so less weapons can be
targetted at me.

As for the fractional-C tactics, last time I saw that, it was the Phalon
DD
fleet doing that and dumping 10+ PBL-1 per turn at me (well placed
fighters and random manoeuvres from my KV popped enough that I could close
with impugnity later in the game.)
