Re: Ultimate-MOD
I have seen several battles where Guns have scored a dozen hits over several turns and taken not a single component out. Just one hit by a DUC and one or more components go. Possibly cripling the opponent. And if the DUC ship wins, all the partial damaged components are healed. Sure the six-Gun armed vessel could have max range and outdistance the DUC ship. But good luck taking out anything on that ship in 30 turns.
Of course I am talking about very early ships (the ones most likely to use Guns in a primary role) without shields. Soon conventional weapons outstrip their usefulness.
