Anti-whatever = ??? What they heck does that mean?

well, we have

fighters - AntiFighter
Battleships - AntiBS
Whatever else- AntiWhatever

:) catch my drift?

but that wasn't the general idea. this is: since we have a battleship, a battleship can b alone out there, so it can b attacked by fighters and by capships too, any logic suggests u arm the battleship accordingly to that - or the battleship doesn't go around without escorts - simple. so when armed like that it should b able to face any threat encountered 'cause any BS would be armed in the same way - there's a way to bringing in some balance (i think). if u go put 20 turrets of the same kind on 1 ship... it is certain that it will quickly be destroyed by something it has no adequate weapons to fight with.
