Possibly David G, I'd have to run some tests, if the non-trailsman player was using optimal range or something like that for a strategy. One of the biggest keys to beating a tailsman player in a battle is to change your ships strategy to point blank. This helps overcome the advantage of the Tailsman never missing because your ships will almost never miss at point blank assumning they have decent Combat sensors and or experience. This will allow roughly equal weapons tech and greater numbers to overcome the Tailsman equiped race. But you are going to take a beating. You have be prepared for that going in.
