Message to TDM race designers

[Samurai99]

To Belisarius: It's been my experience the Tessellate do build baseships, but only in limited numbers. They build lots of dreadnoughts (very powerful, very well-designed -- my compliments.) One other note, I find the mini pictures of Tessellate fighers disorienting: it often looks like they're flying upside down or sideways.

To TerranC: I don't dispute what you're saying. However, at the time I could have sworn they were Ground Cannon. I wish I had a saved game I could check. But in looking at the unit design section, it's also possible I mistook Ground Cannon for Phased Polaron Beams -- the pictures are quite similar. At any rate, these fighters are *extremely weak.* I was taking out literally hundreds with just a handfull of dreadnoughts and/or battlecruisers. By contrast, I was losing these same ships to large numbers of United Floral fighters.

So I guess the bottom line is that I'm hoping some of the TDM guys can try to beef up their fighter designs.
