I'm pretty sure if you send out 3 patriots or 2 at bare minimun with a
torp ship like a cygnus with mark 4 torpedoes
It'll cost ya, but it can kill it.  Put your patriots first (their
increased fighter bay potential is deadly) and follow up with cygnus in
case.  Correct me if I'm wrong, guys (guys as in all you VGAP experts)

PS Patriots should be fully stocked.  Cygnus needs 15 torp per SSD (I
think)

BUT (I haven't tried it, but I will and I'll follow up on this...) try
sending an Iron Lady First and then 1 patriot or cygnus.

Good Hunting

Haven't run a lot of sims, but an Iron Lady with 8Xrays and the Highest
tech torps you can find can wreak havoc on SSDs.  To get big torps,
Build a SB at an Siliconoid planet and then a Guardian Class with Mark 8
torps.  Now you can tow the GC to any other SB and recycle it to get
it's high-tech torps.

Lotsa beam weapons will allow you to have the best chance to survive (so
long as the torps to their job).
