Might I make a small point here?

You people are forgetting a very simple fact; missiles as they are do -nothing- against captial ships. Gunboats and up, missiles are useless. So when the KNF gunboats come up against another gunboat outfitted with energy weapons they're going to die, watching their missile spam whither against the shields of the enemy. Wait untill someone brings in those nasty little Corsair gunboats, or even the Rouge gunboat. Find good GB pilots, and then start hunting down other GBs. If the loadout of the boats in question dosen't change rather abruptly after that, then (no offence intended to anyone) those people who don't change are rather stupid.

The KNF found a tactic that worked. They changed, but others have yet to change. When the agressors finaly change, they'll change as well. It's a cycle. On planet Earth, the Battleship was king for the longest time. Now, it's all about air power, the fighter. Once we get into space and develop shields, the battleship (Or Dreadnaught, or Super Dreadnaught (Of which I want one)) will once again become king. Then weapons will change, and fighters will threaten that position again, and on and on. It's a cycle. I remember hearing storied of times when people could mount Liberty Forward guns on their fighters -as- guns. Anything bigger then a fighter would have been obsolete if that had been alowed. It wasn't long ago that battleships -could- be taken down by a fighter pilot. A, as in singular. It's a rotation, and it keeps on turning.

Don't moan all day over here. Go find people with gunboats or cruisers. Wait for the KNF to show up in their gunboats, then show them what an energy armament can do.

If, by the way, any of you KNF people would like to find out what an energy armament can do, we could arrange a duel. Feuer, my Rheinland GB is up in Honshu, if I remember. He has mostly energy weapons, with only two missiles to help catch those twichy fighters.
