Ah. That would be a problem then... stock missiles are really only good temporarily as a surprise weapon.

I suppose you'll just need to catch up with his blaster tech, at least to get the same range so you can fight back in combat.

The only defense that's holding me at this point is Large mounts on weapons platforms.

Haha thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I don't think it's so much a concept of better is that my strategy wasn't the best choice with the size of galaxy we chose. Live and learn I suppose.

Live, er...
Die and learn


You'll probably want to move on to mods soon; balancemod is good, since it is stocklike, but better.

Balance mod will be our next game, but we're going to wait for PBW to patch up to v1.03.
