Just about the only weapon that lets you defeat an overwhelmingly powerful foe is my favourite, the allegiance subverter. Add in a Computer Virus III if you are fighting MC ships. It doesn't always work, and you have only one shot, but if it does magic happens!

Hence a wise general makes a point of foraging on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy's provisions is equivalent to twenty of one's own, and likewise a single picul of his provender is equivalent to twenty from one's own store.
