- First of all, it depends on what the objective is... One time recently
- when I was chasing a CA runner-scum, I got him into third space. It was
- actually quite easy to kill him in a scout then. I did what any clued
- player does when chasing runner-scums...
- A) Force him away from his teammates
- B) Gradually close with him. (The scout was good for this)
- C) Get him to fire torps (do this by getting close)
- D) Dodge the torps
- E) Repeat C and D until he's out of fuel
- F) Kill him - (I used phaser fire - found it quite humorous that my scout
- killed a running CA solely by phaser fire)
-
- Note: this is just one isolated instance of me against only a semi-clued
- person. I don't try to say that anybody could do this against anybody
- else. Although, accomplishing part A is actually the hardest part of
- the whole thing.

- Follow the thread, dude. The debate was that a SC is better than a DD.
- As far as dogfighting goes, they are both kinda useless ships.

- You're right about (a) - BB's are the best dogfighters
- You're wrong about (b) - BB's are the best dogfighters
