	That's the mission.  Thanx for the advice...I won it yesterday on
accident (the lampreys just happened to be the ships I attacked first this
time).  Which brings me to a more general question:

-when faced with a large alien force with many different craft types,
which do you target first (taking into account different types of
missions)?

thanx in advance,
demian

p.s. I almost always target the ones that look like gold fish first, since
they seem to shoot missiles at me the most...after that, usually the
easy kills, then on to the big multi-part ships.
