Naturally. I wasn't denying the validity of most of your arguments, as far as they go. I was pointing out the exaggeration of some of your assertions in some of your one-liner emails, and some conclusions about the uselessness of some techniques.

I'm sorry it wasn't clear to you what points I was and wasn't trying to make. I don't think we actually disagree on much here, except for what the likely situations are, and therefore which decisions make sense, and which techniques are useful, in unmodded play. I think our play experiences have been a bit different, from our different play styles, and the different games we've been in.

There might be a few disagreements about details of the effects of Max Range/DGH tactic, but I'd just be repeating myself, or bringing up more play examples, so I don't see much point in doing that. I don't intend any offense, but one and/or both of us have been failing to follow the other's line of thinking when making counter-arguments on some points.

Not if one isn't addressing that person. I had no intention of being rude. When I referred to you in the third person, I was responding to Maerlyn's post:

if you ask me: its 2:2 until now, but both of you should try to stick to the assumptions made in the beginning and not bring in possible additional weapons or other components in order to strenghten your arguments. (as both of you did)

Default Re: Torpedo question

I wish I would have gotten into this discussion when it was started. In one of my current games, a race is using Torpedo class ships with APB's. His fleet is set to Max range attacks and thus far he has been very successful with these tactics.

When used correctly Torpedo heavy fleets can be most effective.
