As you plan ship designs it is wise to learn your opponents designs if possible before building your counter. You can build cruisers that can kill BB's but your design will be obsolete fairly quickly. You must also test it so you know how many of a given type of cruiser you will need to kill the BB's you want to go after.

Plan carefully what you build, decide whether you need the first shot advantage to kill opponents ships then make sure you get it if you need it. If you don't have enough tech you will simply die a slow death so try to make sure you advance in at least one critical field over your enemy.

There is NO substitute for using a testbed so, if you don't have one, get one. No ship designer in his right mind wouldn't simulate performance before comitting to construction. You can mail me and I'll send you a zip of a complete testbed if you don't find one.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
