Once the SM2 with AAM shows up I don't see how this thing can compete. I can get 2 Wa's for 6 HS they launch 4 missiles that do 3 pts of damage compared to the 8 HS for 5 damage. It is inferior to the Wa and SM for the most part in my view. It might be good for a dedicated assault ship, using it as a longer ranged Pg to take out bases further from the WP than can be hit by the Pg but for deep space enounters the CM will devestate you. Putting it on commercial drive ships...well that hurt. Still they drove off the relief force, and killed two BC...though there probably should be a remise of the attack as the N. Lizards can send a communications drone to the home world requesting they send a second force.
