Great! Borrowing from the United Flora will save me a huge amount of time, and (perhaps more importantly) make the Verduran AI a more worthy opponent for human players. Thanks Rollo, I really do appreciate it.

I have another question for everyone. I know that tractor beams are only good for larger ships against smaller ships. But what happens in the following situation?

There are two dreadnoughts in a battle, one has a repulsor, the talisman, and a bunch of APBs (strategy: max range), the other has a tractor and a ton of lightning rays (strategy: point blank). Do the repulsor and tractor cancel? Can the DN with the lightning rays close to point blank? Or is the talisman so powerful that it's pointless to consider a counter-strategy?

Tractors and Repulsors only operate when they are fired. So, they do not really "cancel."

Good point Fyron. It looks as if I'll have to test it and see what happens.

You will probably redefine the meaning of the phrase 'see-saw battle'.
