That Low Guard is interesting but might easily be counter-designed. The speed is horrible, lead duck approach to warfare.

Of course it doesn�t matter against our range 2 beamers but even our out-initted missile BB will get 4 shots!

I�d say let�s not worry too much yet and see what numbers they are building of that ship. If it turns our to be their main design and they go for huge numbers (> current PoS in any case) we�ll do a counter-design, if it�s only stopgap before they get W22 and go for that as a main beamber BB we�ll stick to range 2.

Possible counter-designs:

-range 2 with more comps

-fast range 3 (maybe even CC). 12 Heavy Blasters would be only 12 kt lighter, a bit risky as it could move into range on turn one if the random factor strikes against it.

-Optional: heavy BB with armor that moves 2 instead of 2.25: that way no move into range on turn 1 and then the move 2 should hopefully make it stay out of range even if heavier against the move 1s that ship makes on turn 2-4. OK, just tested it, doesn�t work, the lighter ship closes in so it�d have to be lighter. Sad

-out of the box alternative: BB or CC with range 1 (w18) or even range 0 (w13) weapons. That would only work with crowding though.

-Missiles will always work though, except for chaff of course... Wink
