-
- Exsqueeze me? When did I volunteer to go blow up hapless losers who happen
- to fly DD's too much?
-
- I have already offered my analysis of the SC vs DD encounter, and heard no
- disagreement from the net. (This, in itself, is a small miracle... ;)
-
- I have no intention of proving anything. I *want* you to fly a DD. I *want*
- everyone who is not on TWNN to fly DD's all the time, especially during INL
- games. Since the DD is so much better, I want them to SC-bomb in DD's. I
- want them to escort in DD's. I want them to space-control in DD's. Do you
- get the picture?
-
- I absolutely refuse to consider facing anyone with the purpose of discouraging
- all those little creeps who fly DD's all the time. If they got real ships
- and banded together, they might be dangerous. I want losers to play me in
- INL games planet-taking in DD's. And especially, I want them to face me in
- my scout without fear. I *really* *really* want a DD to try to clear me off
- a planet to drop his 5 armies. And I want a DD to try to run past me with 5
- armies, repeatedly.
-
- I will add one last note:
- Can you name *1* DD pilot who can wreke nearly as much damage in nearly
- as many situations as I can in my scout? Sure, the DD is neat for planet-
- taking, but what about the rest of the game?
-
- The problem with the DD is *not* that it is *worse* than a scout.
- The problem with the DD is that it is not sufficiantly *better* than
- a scout, to pay for the missing 3 warps.

-
- (P.S.: What I said about that 'please play DD's' I really meant. You know that
- you are right. You know what ship to fly. All these admirals are wrong. So
- go ahead - keep playing 'em. I need the DI.)
