Centauri: Octurian, 2 Darkner, 2 Maximus, 3 Haven, 18 Sentri EA: Advanced Destroyer, ORACLE, 2 Olympus, 13 Starfury, 6 Thunderbolt We used playtest rules for the Destroyer so I won't give anything away about its performance. Very close game. The Oracle really does give those olympus a great chance of hitting with the missiles. My opponant did fly the Oracle in backwards but I never took the luxury of shooting at it so (because?) it was moot. I think Olympus that shoot at fighters really aren't doing any damage. Because of Jinking I only lost 2 or 3 fighters to missiles (12 from thunderbolts one round hit twice.) Again, Battle Lasers and Twin Arrays ruled the battle. I killed 7 'Furies and a 'Bolt with TA fire. One Olympus had 5 points of primary structure after a run in with 2 Havens. Granted, in that attack run all three Havens were destroyed by Pulse Cannons and a certain Destroyer. All in all, I think the Oracle is just about right. Not too expensive, not under so. -Carlos -- End --
