Fighter Supremacy - winning is losing

[David Anla Shok']

Hull 5 is acceptable as a strike fighter well, up to an including Antifighter 2, as long as dodge scores are high.

Dodge?

You have to evalulate and play fighters the same way you do the capitol ships. You must play to their strengths. Don't dogfight with bombers/assault fighters, don't attack ships with dogfighters unless they are crippled, and don't use drek fighters unless you've got nothing else.

that mean Emines cant be fired at them. I wander who does that ....

Emines target a point in space, not a fighter. They just get caught in the blast.

Yes, of course. But I suspect that the "friendly" fighter pilots would take umbrage.
The indirectness of the emine fire should not take away the fact of the intended target.

Capital ships.

Capitol = Hill in Rome, silly yank government building.

Capital = Every other conceivable use of the word.

Get it right, damn your colonial eyes!

I was thinking of my Centauri fleet, therefore Rome therefore capitol.

I was thinking that you needed a Snidley Whiplash avatar. Would suit you well. ;>

The Centauri aren't anything like Rome. They're Imperial British with east European accents and strange hair...

Capitol=Capital as per Webster's. Had to look it up a few months ago because I wasn't sure which one to use in which case.
Course, that may just be the dominant form of English spoken on Earth, rather than the form of the same that you speak in England...
