- Hm.... seems we have not been playing much netrek since the DD etemp rate
- was changed Sandia. There are times when DDs are the most common ship on
- servers with clue. Ship choice depends on the situation and the opposition
- and given two equal players the winner of an encounter will be the person
- whose objective best matched thier ship-type. End of story.
-
- DDs are the ship of choice for planet scums. In and out, 5 armies, fast
- enough to outrun a CA. Talk all you want about dogfighting, but remember
- what the game is about: taking planets. :)
