It's kinda like trying to advance your pawn two spaces to escape capture 
from an enemy pawn.  You just can't do it!

However - this thread was kinda pissing me off - so I decided to do some 
tests with Carrier versus BC to find out.

I found out that a fully upgraded carrier can be defeated by an unupgraded 
BC (with Yamato gun) if properly micromanaged.  The secret is to deploy the 
yamato after the shields of the carrier are depleted.  After I realized 
that - making further comparisons seemed a little silly.

I have sent a copy of my report and some extended notes to Overwind to add 
to his SC site - if he decides they are good enough.  (We tried to post the 
file I sent him directly - but until further notice we are having technical 
difficulties)
