- We have different definitions of clue apparently. I have never seen

- I disagree. In a clued game (where there aren't 5 armies lying
- around) the DD doesn't look to impressive. Also, in a clued game I
- expect opposition when I go for a planet, don't try to tell me the DD
- is good here. The best it can do is try to go to another planet, and
- you're playing Russian Roulette with CA phaser locks at this point.

- *Barely* faster. If you're going to their space the CA may very well
- get there before you. Also, the DD isn't fast enough to outrun a SC.

- > about: taking planets. :)
- Yes, but consider this. If SC can beat up DD's, the DD doesn't look
- so hot as a planet taker does it? There's this little ship that goes
- 2 warps faster, that can kill it.
