Yeah that appears to be the plan. But when the opponent gets dreadnought hulls, frigates and destroyers are doomed. One direct hit from a Heavy weapon will instantly destroy an armored, shielded, ECM III frigate. I think 2 or 3 CSM V will also instantly destroy a frigate. That's kinda funny when it happens -- to the other guy at least. Whoosh --- Boom no mini explosions, no limping away on one engine, just gone.

'Course, the ship has just wasted some of it's big guns on a little cannon fodder ship, now it's your turn. Heh
