Naw, the Kzinti retrograde is very annoying:  Have you ever had to deal with
drones closing at speeds around 50?  (they don't retrograde forever like some,
but...)

Response to Gorn Tractor:  Launch all drones, launch shuttlecraft 1 and 2.
Alpha strike.  (note this is from the C7 Death from Above--
the drones are 4 IV and  2 VI and the shuttles are suicides going at the
appropriate speed).  That's 130 points of damage to your 100:-)  And just
after I put 80 points of direct damage into you (9 phaser I 4 overloaded
disruptors)...  I wonder who's in worse shape:-)

Moral:  The only thing safe to anchor is a Fed:-)

P.S.  I set the follow ups  to rec.games.board where it probably belongs.
