Actually a spinal meson gun will get through, and the big ships don't have decent meson screens. In fact one of the cruisers has a better chance of survival than a dreadnaught because it has a decent meson screen. I did look at cruiser vs dreadnaught and came to the conclusion that mutual destruction is the expected result (it was the cruiser with the spinal meson gun vs the TL15 dreadnaught). As an aside: The most powerful ship in the book is probably the experimental battleship carrying 3 battle riders. 4 Meson gun-T's packed in there!! > >Somebody appears to have gone Spreadsheet crazy on the ships as designs are >almost identical. Other flaws abound . No launch tubes for any ship even >though they are carrying 300+ fighters. Launch 1 fighter per turn....... Hows about the tankers (I think) with more fuel tankage than available space? Also many of the designs have more heads up displays than crew members! (how do you try to rationalise that one???) > >In my opinion save the $10.00 and build your own ships. I agree.
