How to publish in an Elsevier journal
Every year, we accept and publish more than 250,000 journal articles. Publishing in an Elsevier journal starts with finding the right journal for your paper. If you already know which journal, you can enter the title directly in the search box below. Alternatively, click on the 'Start matching' button to find a suitable journal based on the abstract of your article.
Check status
The status of your submitted paper or accepted article
Status of submitted papersYou can follow the status of your submitted paper in the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) using a reference number that you will receive by e-mail upon submission.
When your paper has reached the status between acceptance and publication you need to consider the following:
- Open accessIf you made the choice to publish open access, a number of different Creative Commons licenses will be available to select from. More is explained in your journal's Guide for Authors which you can find on the journal homepage.
- Journal Publishing AgreementYou will be asked to complete this during the time between your article's acceptance and its final printing.
- Proofreading
As soon as your article has been typeset, you will be sent a page proof in the form of a PDF file. Accurate proofreading and clear marking of corrections are essential for the production of a quality article. Mark any necessary corrections in a distinct manner. Elsevier will do everything it can to have your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. It is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Use the guide How to annotate PDFs to learn how to mark up changes in the PDF proof.
- Articles in pressAccepted articles will be published online on ScienceDirect as an article in press and assigned an issue at a later date. You can track your article and citations throughout this process.
- OffprintsPDF e-offprints will be e-mailed within 24 hours of an article appearing online on ScienceDirect. If printed offprints are ordered instead of e-offprints, these will be dispatched within 6-8 weeks of issue publication. You can check the dispatch date using the track your article facility. Please note that delivery times depend on the destination.

How to submit a paper?
For submission of your article for peer review most Elsevier journals now use the online Elsevier Editorial System (EES).
- Find the Submit Your Paper link on the journal's homepage. You will be prompted to log into EES.
- If you have never used EES before you can click the Register new account link to create an account before logging in.
- Once you are logged into EES, you will be guided stepwise through the submission process.
- EES automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process.
- Upon submission you will receive an e-mail with a reference number that you can use to check the status of your paper in EES.
There are many benefits to registering with EES, including increased review and publication speed, article tracking and receiving e-mail alerts.
For journals not using the Elsevier Editorial System (EES)For journals not yet using EES submission through e-mail or submission of a disk or printed copy will be accepted. Please see your journal's individual Guide for Authors on the journal homepage for further details.
After submitting a paper it will be peer-reviewed
Our primary research journals are peer-reviewed and independently edited by acknowledged experts in their fields. Reviewers are appointed by the journal editor.
Peer review has two key functions:
- To act as a filter and determine the validity, significance and originality of the work to ensure only good research is published.
- To improve the quality of research submitted for publication by giving reviewers the opportunity to suggest improvements.
Article Transfer Service
Several Elsevier journals operate a complimentary Article Transfer Service. The editor will offer this service to you if they feel your paper is of better fit in another Elsevier journal. Your submission will be transferred to another journal upon your approval. More on Article Transfer Service….
Researchers can choose to publish open access
- By submitting to one of our open access journals.
- We also have over 1600 established journals with open access options. After acceptance you can then choose to either publish under the subscription model or open access.
Elsevier has established agreements with funding bodies.This ensures authors can comply with funding body open access requirements and may also be reimbursed for their publication fees. Elsevier has established agreements with funding bodies including the NIH, Wellcome Trust and UK Research Councils.

text: Massively funky work from the mighty Weldon Irvine – sublimely cosmic and filled with soul throughout! The vibe here is a bit more focused than on some of Weldon's earlier albums – a moody blend of electric keys, heavy percussion, and some slight bits of jazzy solo work by trumpeters Charles Sullivan and Everett Blood Hollins, and saxophonist Sonny Fortune – both players who really help the album find some soulful structure! The album's all-instrumental, and has Weldon really taking off on the keyboards – not just using them for main solos, but also dropping in cool noisy bits and analogue effects that really sound great – almost out-Herbieing Herbie Hcock for the record, and turning in some of his biggest classics on wax! Titles include the massive sample cut "We Gettin' Down", plus "Jungle Juice", "Blast Off", "Softly", "Power & The Glory", "Yasmin", and "Pogo Stick". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

One thing I would like to say is, answers to posts seem to take a long time, especially where an answer is required from the WDC Team.
Perhaps this forum should be re-merged with the AP Forum.

To see an animated version of this procedure, click Procedure InMotion .
Lumpectomy is the removal of part of the breast.
Lumpectomy may be combined with a procedure to sample lymph nodes in the area (axillary dissection or sentinel node biopsy ).
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to treat breast cancer .
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a lumpectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Accumulation of blood in the wound
- Accumulation of clear fluid in the wound
- Infection
- Numbness of the nipple or underarm skin
- Change in the size and/or shape of the breast
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking
- Recent or long-term illness
- Use of certain medicines
- Characteristics of the tumor to be removed
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Mammogram —this test uses radiation to take a picture of the breasts.
- Fine needle biopsy of the breast
- Blood and urine tests
- Wire-localization procedure—if the tumor was visible on mammogram, but is not able to be felt, the doctor will use a wire to mark the tumor.
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel or warfarin
Do not eat or drink anything for 8-12 hours before surgery, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
General anesthesia is most often used. You will be asleep.
Description of Procedure
A small cut will be made in the breast. The tumor will be cut out, along with some of the surrounding tissue. Another incision near the armpit may be made so that lymph nodes can be removed. The nipple and areola will not be removed. Plastic tubes for drainage may be inserted. The incisions will be closed with stitches.
Immediately After Procedure
Removed tissue will be examined. The findings may determine if any further surgery is needed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 1-3 hours
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. There is usually relatively little pain after a lumpectomy. There may be temporary unpleasant sensations, including numbness and a pinching or pulling feeling in the underarm area. Patients who have lymph node biopsies generally have more discomfort. If needed, you may be prescribed pain medicine.
Postoperative Care
- Keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- You may have one or more tubes to drain blood and fluids while you heal. Empty the drains, measure the fluid, and report any problems.
- If tubes were placed, they will be removed in the doctor's office 1-2 days later.
- Avoid vigorous activity for about four weeks, or as directed by your doctor.
- Try not to lift anything heavier than five pounds for about a week or longer if directed by your doctor.
- Wear a well-fitting, very supportive bra 24 hours a day for the first week.
If you do develop complications from lymph node surgery, you will need to take some special precautions:
- Do not have blood pressure taken, blood drawn, or shots given in that arm.
- Wear gloves to do dishes, household scrubbing, and yard work.
- Do not wear anything tight on that arm, including elastic in sleeves.
- Do not carry heavy packages, purses, suitcases, grocery bags, etc. with that arm.
- Keep the skin of that arm well-moisturized with a lanolin-containing product.
- Use an electric shaver if you wish to shave your armpits.
- If you had lymph nodes in your armpit removed during breast cancer surgery, participating in a physical therapy program may help to prevent lymphedema.
The breast may change in size or shape after lumpectomy. There may be local skin discoloration from dye used to localize lymph nodes for biopsy. The dye may also discolor your urine for a short time after surgery. You will be asked to see your doctor for a follow-up appointment within 7-14 days after the surgery.
The surgery is usually followed by an appropriate course of radiation therapy and, in some cases, chemotherapy .
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- If you have drains, report any problems that your doctor has discussed with you
- Oozing or discharge from nipples on either breast
- A lump, redness, or swelling in either breast
- If lymph nodes were removed: redness, warmth, swelling, stiffness, or hardness in the arm or hand
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medicines you were given after surgery or that persist for more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Depression
- New, unexplained symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

"Pen and calculator gift set"
By Paul Clifford
Comments: I ordered 15 of these for my boss, I needed them engraved and sent within 10 days. We rec'd them in time and the recipients were pleased. They looked great.


text: An overlooked gem from the 80s soul scene – a set by a group with all the right hooks and grooves of their bigger contemporaries – yet one who also manage to put things across with their own sort of vibe as well! Some of the standout tracks have a bouncy feel that's going right for the charts – and the lead vocals by Tara Davis really hit the perfect blend for these rhythms – short, sharp, and super-catchy – yet also managing to reach a wider range too – in ways that make for deeper soul than you might expect in such a setting! Male group members handle backup, and Tim Moore sings a bit of lead too – and titles include "You're Gonna Be Mine", "Missing You", "It's A Choice", "Hypnotized", "The First Time", "Special One", and "Love Calls". CD features 4 bonus tracks – "It's A Choice (club rmx)", "Hypnotized (club rmx)", "Hypnotized (hyp mix)", and "It's A Choice (dub)". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

With the summer winding down, you're probably scrambling to scratch a few chores off your list. Of course, that itch could be a lot easier to scratch if you had a little help.
Instead of expecting one of your kids or neighbors to help, maybe you should consider investing in a little something from iRobot. The company just announced a fleet of new robots, and each one is just waiting to tackle your dirtiest home projects.
To tackle that fall gutter funk, the company has introduced the iRobot Looj 330. This little guy has a high-velocity, four-stage auger that can spin at 500 MPH to blast out leaves, dirt and other cloggers. Other new enhancements include a "Clean" mode, multiple speeds, a scraper, a new design, and a new .7.2-volt Lithium-ion battery. Also, iRobot says that the new Looj is waterproof up to 8 inches and has a better range of up to 50 feet.
If your indoor dust and dirt is overwhelming, iRobot has a few new vacuums under its Roomba 600 Series. These are entry-level machines, designed to replace the 500 Series. Each one packs in the company's patented three-stage cleaning system, AeroVac Technology, and a new brush design.
AeroVac helps with the airflow on the system, which basically means you won't have to clean it as much. Hooray for additional loafing time! Model 650 and up will allow users to preset cleaning schedules up to seven times a week. Other features include iAdapt Responsive Cleaning Technology so the Roomba knows where to roam, as well as Dirt Detect to help it sniff out the dirtiest areas.
"iRobot has sold more than 8 million home robots worldwide, by focusing on cleaning performance and innovation across the company's portfolio of home robots," said Jeff Beck, chief operating officer of iRobot Corporation. "Regardless of whether our robots are washing or vacuuming floors, cleaning gutters or the pool, our global customers want high quality products with state-of-the-art technology that perform a single task exceptionally well. The Looj 330 and Roomba 600 Series are the result of combining innovative research and customer feedback in our development process."
The iRobot Looj 330 is ready to roam now, with an MSRP of $299. The new Roomba 600 Series is also available, with prices starting at $329.99.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

If there's one thing you can guarantee from the Grammy Awards, it's a LOT of fun. The A-list attendees may have been warned to tone-down the sartorial sexiness but that didn't stop them from going all-out on the beauty front. So who was the Grammys beauty queen?
In the red corner, we have Rihanna who matched her scarlet Alia gown with a bold lip and golden waves, as did Alexa Chung who brightened up her adorable floral Valentino frock with a splash of red lippy. Beyonce also treated us to a colour pop against her monochrome ensemble with a pearlscent lip that took centre stage thanks to keeping her tresses simple and slicked back.
As for our favourite hairdos, Kelly Osbourne wore her purple mane in a sleek ponytail enhanced by uber-long extentions. My Little Pony, eat yer heart out! Jennifer Lopez opted for a severe twisted bun a-top her head, which drew attention to her cat-like eye makeup. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift looked like a little angel with her long locks swept into an updo with whisps of hair framing her face and a halo braid above her blunt fringe.
Florence Welch represented the Brit pack with her porcelain-perfect skin and wore her flame-hued hair in an updo similar to Swifty's. The jury's still out on that berry red lip, though. Adele joined Flo at the ceremony and showcased her signature towering bouffant although it was less beehive, more tousled this time round. As ever, her black eyeliner and long lashes were firmly in place.
Other highlights include Solange Knowles' mega afro, Kelly Rowland's slick bangs and an appearance from newly wed Carey Mulligan who made an appearance to support her Mumford. N'aww.
Take a look at the best beauties in the gallery above...

administration of Gov. Mike Leavitt, strongly and successfully opposed the project. Apparently as a result of this opposition, two agencies within the U.S. Department of the Interior—the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management—rejected filings related to the project in September 2006. 13 However, a recent federal court decision has re-opened the case, overturning the Interior Department's decisions and ordering their reconsideration. 14
Opposition to the project has continued in Utah from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) and the five members of the state's Congressional delegation in Washington. Among the objections to the Skull Valley site, opponents argue it's located too close to an Air Force test and training range—even though the existing EnergySolutions site at Clive is actually closer to the range. But more broadly, opponents express a strong belief that once wastes would be shipped to Utah, they'd never be removed. The delegation argues that risks of storage should be borne by the states that have benefited from nuclear power, at least until a permanent repository is built.
Unlike the success stories at WIPP, Fernald and Hanford, no significant federal, state or local negotiation process has been undertaken that might resolve the conflict over Skull Valley. Although the tribe favors the project, because of the financial benefits it would obtain, progress seems unlikely without greater involvement of the broader community and the state.
The Path Forward
The examples of success and failure suggest some general principles essential to the future siting of spent nuclear fuel facilities—whether for interim or permanent storage.
• Incentives: The WIPP demonstrates the importance of economic incentives in siting. In Carlsbad, jobs were critically needed for its survival as a community. The facility now employs about one-third of the local work force, and the federal government provided $300 million over 15 years for highways. The Carlsbad experience shows that such incentives as good jobs and contributions to infrastructure can persuade a community to welcome facilities—and perhaps to bid on them as they did in Sweden—as an alternative to the federally mandated process that failed at Yucca Mountain.
A series of financial incentives was offered in Nevada to make the Yucca Mountain project more palatable. But even if other complex issues could be overcome, much greater incentives would be needed to gain state support, particularly given the permanent nature of the planned facility.
• Local involvement : Local voices are tremendously important—especially because public perceptions of nuclear risks are disproportionate to actual risks. Education can lead to more rational conclusions, as Stanford Prof. Fishkin demonstrated in his work on deliberative democracy. Such collaborative processes will be instrumental to the success of future facility siting.
Likewise, DOE found that when it formed and listened to local advisory boards, relationships with the local community vastly improved, and more cost-effective solutions emerged to address major problems. At Fernald, rather than having to spend billons to ship wastes to Nevada, local storage of wastes was accepted at much more reasonable costs and risks.
At the WIPP, local advisory boards gave the community the opportunity for participation and gaining

Man, I knew that something bad was going to happen, I even kept talking about having a bad feeling (b/c of the atmosphere of Kishi's writing, I can tell by now)
but I never imagined this
Now, the sharingan being linked to Kakashi's is probably the most ideal conclusion. I mean to say, how could zetsu show Obito any vision on the left side of his head without there being an eye? It's just not possible right?
Well, in the narutoverse there could be a chakara link from the back of the mask to the brain, or even genjitsu or some shit, so let's put that to the side for now...
Say it was Kakashi
-why'd he do it? Was he under the influence of genjitsu? Did we purposely go back on his word to Obito because he's an antagonist? Rin being a traitor? etc etc etc etc etc........... until I die
Say it wasn't Kakashi
Probably a Zetsu clone.
As to which one of these is most correct to me it's 50/50. Some parts of me going with the Sharingan theory, others going with the Zetsu clone theory.
But yes, I did find it strange that there were no ninja around when they arrived on the battlefield. So that leans me towards the Zetsu clone theory a bit.
Still 50/50 on it though ^_^

directed by
Clyde Geronimi, Jack Kinney, James Algar

Show synopsis Ichabod and Mr. Toad is a two-part Walt Disney cartoon feature based on a pair of well known stories. The first half of the film is an adaptation of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, all about gawky 17th century schoolteacher Ichabod Crane and his love for the beautiful Katrina. The girl's vengeful ex-beau Brom Bones decides to scare Ichabod out of Sleepy Hollow by filling the impressionable teacher's brain with stories about the ghostly Headless Horseman--who of course makes an appearance that very night! The second half of Ichabod and Mr. Toad is based on the "Toad of Toad Hall" stories from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind and the Willows. The aristocratic but childish Mr. Toad loves motorcars, but his affection leads him to a jail term when he is accused of stealing an automobile. It's up to Toad's faithful friends to break Toad out of jail and expose the real crooks. One of Disney's better "omnibus" cartoon features, Ichabod and Mr. Toad is enhanced by the narrative skills of Bing Crosby in the Ichabod segment and Basil Rathbone in the Mr. Toad sequence.

There's really only two things about 4K Ultra HD that consumers object to: price and lack of content.
The price is the price, but Sony is doing its part to get content to consumers who plunked down $25,000 for the new XBR-84X900.
Sony spokesperson Ray Hartjen blogged today:
In the next couple of weeks, the XBR-84X900 television will ship to customers who placed pre-orders since the product introduction in September. As an extra bonus, included free with the purchase will be the world's first 4K Ultra HD delivery solution, complete with pre-loaded, native 4K entertainment. Not some goofy 4K content shot as a demo. I'm talking full length feature Hollywood productions, and available exclusively to purchasers of Sony's 84" 4K Ultra HD TV.
It's not clear if the "delivery solution" (presumably a small PC, which Sony has supplied to retailers for demo purposes) and native content will be available to those who buy the sets at retail.
Sony pooh-poohs the notion that lack of 4K content is a deal breaker. Hartjen notes that 4K Ultra HD broadcasts are sparse, but Fox Sports employs a Sony 4K F65 Cinealta camera at one NFL game each week.
The ultra-high-resolution footage allows broadcasters and commentators to blow up the action for extremely tight shots:
When the network enlarges the video to get an up close look at say a receiver tiptoeing a sideline, the video naturally loses resolution, common to enlarging any photo or video. But, with 4 times the resolution of Full HD, 4K has more than enough resolution to spare, and losing half still provides the best picture possible.
Hartjen says Sony would never "leave our 4K Ultra HD TV customers hanging."
He notes the company makes 4K professional cameras for production studios and that Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) "turns out 4K production every day."

In a recent interview with CE Pro, Sony spokesperson Rob Manfredo explains that Sony is hard at work remastering classic films.
"From that perspective," he says, "we're committed to releasing more content to the home."
Furthermore, some new TV shows are already being shot in 4K "to kind of future-proof those products for syndication," Manfredo says, singling out "The New Normal" and "Made in Jersey."

Mikael Silvestre has revealed the motive behind his return to training at Manchester United - his aim to sign for another Barclays Premier League club.
The French defender, who spent nine trophy-laden seasons with the Reds from 1999 to 2008, is currently a free agent after his contract with German side Werder Bremen expired in the summer. Sir Alex Ferguson invited Silvestre back to Carrington, to help him maintain his fitness as he seeks a fresh challenge.
"I am back here to train," Mikael told MUTV and ManUtd.com. "I came a few weeks ago and had a chat with the gaffer just before the Capital One Cup game. I said I was coming back to Manchester until Christmas and he said, 'Come and train and stay fit until you move to somewhere else'.
"When you are training with the lads you feel like you are still capable of playing in the Premier League. I am fit, that is the main point, and I still have the hunger for the game. So this level is still the level that I am targeting.
"I have always kept in touch with the club and I almost know everybody here still. There have been some changes in my four years away but there is also a lot of continuity within this club."
A veteran of over 350 appearances as a versatile United defender, Silvestre is perfectly qualified to cast an eye over the left-back berth. The Frenchman believes the recent acquisition of Alexander Büttner should inspire competition for places with his compatriot Patrice Evra.
"I only saw the highlights of the game when Alex started and scored [against Wigan Athletic]. It doesn't get better than starting at Old Trafford and scoring a goal," said Silvestre.
"Patrice has been there and has been solid in this role, but there hasn't been any cover for him so he has played a lot of games for United and France. That has demanded a lot of Patrice and it is important to keep the players on their toes and to have fresh legs. There are so many games so you need to rotate at some point. Especially because United full backs do not just sit back and defend, they go and attack and provide width too."

Also bigger is not necessarily better. Crews on the really big ships like DNs are 'historically' not generally as good as those on smaller ones, since the bigger ships are so expensive to run that they spend much of their time docked at a starbase.
The cruisers and police ships see much more action, and thus have better crews.

Well, what I meant was it's a waste of trained personnel that could be put to better use than simply being put out into a fight as cannon fodder - not necessarily a waste of "crack" crews, although this may or may not also be the case.
Also, putting them in a bigger ship would require adding more crew to the ship (as usually the bigger the ship, the more crew are required) and these new crew would not be used to working with the core crew who had been transferred from the smaller ship.

This is very true, and also applies to actual historical ships to some extent. There is also the factor that a smaller crew is often more closely bound and know each other better and so function better together than the crew of a larger ship would.

Thanks for the replies.
The one that caught my attention concerned the Iroquois. That ship costs (IIRC) 131 BPV, making her barely more expensive with two Stingers than the Dragoon is without any. The (in effect, fully refitted) Iroquois costs 1 point more than an unrefitted Dragoon, in SFB terms.
Plus the Iroquois has more conventionally useful HB firing arcs; otherwise the two classes are functionally pretty much identical. Firing HBs two-by-two across turn breaks can be an effective tactic in SFB, but given more rapid shield repair in FC, it's unlikely to inflict significant internal damage in this game.
So an Iroquois with two Stingers = 151 BPV, in the same ballpark as other heavy cruisers or command cruisers, while a Dragoon with three Stingers = 178 BPV and ends up fighting BCHs.
Basically, I think the Dragoon is overcosted. I'd hazard a guess that back when the Hydrans entered the game, in 1980 or thereabouts, hellbore-armed ships got high BPV's due to the shock and awe the new weapon inspired.
However, since then a combination of adapted tactics, refits and new weapons on the other side of the fence has made that obsolete, exacerbated by the doubling of ESG rate of fire between SFB and FC.
The Iroquois is a much more recent addition to the game, and her BPV seems more in line with her abilities to me.
I'm reluctant to give up the Dragoon's Stingers in duels. Since they fire as a separate 'ship', by shooting first - even at range 10 - they can dent a facing shield, allowing the Dragoon's phaser and HB fire (later in the same impulse) to be combined. Otherwise the target can take the HBs on a different shield, potentially avoiding any shield penetration.
My personal preference would be to see the BPV of Lyran ships increased to reflect the improvements in the ESG in FC vis SFB.
Also, I'd suggest re-costing the (refitted) Dragoon at about 130 BPV.

The ESG range limit makes it much less useful for anything more than defence. It happens that the hydran is hindered by it the most, but I have yet to play anyone more than once that will let me get into range 1. Against plasma armed ships the lyran's ESG has little impact the LDR havethe extra toys to not fear plasma ships. The BPV is vs all races not just the bad matchups.

The Dragoon is actually a very capable ship in the right hands, although as mentioned hellbores are particularly weak against ESGs in FC. This is only a huge problem when the enemy has as many ESGs as you have Hellbores (the Lyran BCH and DN for example) where they can pretty much soak up all your HB damage with ESGs. Other than this, Hellbores do not give you a big "first shot" hitting power and later in the battle when people have weak shields they are a nightmare to fight against.
Take the Dragoon Vs the Tiger CA, for example - in this case, the Dragoon is a very tough nut to crack and using your ESGs will not save you from all of the hellbore damage if he fires all four in a single turn, and in any event will use up lots of your power. I would have said the Dragoon certainly is as good as the Tiger (better in some cases of course, but this applies to most ships) - were it 130 points, the Dragoon would be significantly less points than the Tiger. If the Dragoon does need re-pointed, I would suggest it should be no lower than the BPV of the Tiger, though really 148 (i.e. the ship without its fighters) isn't all that different from other heavy cruisers anyway.

In which case the Iroquios (actually 136 BPV, after checking) is a bargain.

The Dragoon's fighters should be viewed as a support element for a squadron of ships, and not something to boost the dueling capability of the ship. The simple fact of the matter is that the three fighters that the Dragoon carries simply aren't numerous enough to do serious damage to an enemy before they're shot to pieces with minimal effort.
So the problem isn't that the fighters bump the Dragoon up into BCH range. The problem is that the fighters don't really contribute to a duel.
It's best to leave them off the ship if you're dueling.

Er, no.
At range 9 or above, the Tiger's ESGs simply intercept all the Hellbore fire.
At range 8 or less, they only intercept *most* of the HB damage; in either case, the Dragoon is in effect reduced to a weak phaser battery against the Tigers' phasers and disruptors.
The best thing the Dragoon can do is allow herself to be gutted by overloads and phasers at range-4 or thereabouts to try to bring the gatlings to bear.
It isn't just unbalanced...it's boring.
Yes it's a 'bad matchup' - that would appear to apply to any HB ship fighting any ESG ship in FC.
Less of a problem in fleet actions, but I generally don't play fleet actions.
Frankly, I'm less than happy about having my favouite ship from my favourite race castrated when fighting one it's main historical adversaries.
I usually dislike houserules, but in this case, I'll make an exception.

I think ESGs are terribly effective at soaking up hellbore fire in FC, perhaps too much so. However, the Lyran hasn't got the power to run, power ESGs and fire a superior alpha-strike all in one turn. While the ESGs need only be fully powered every other turn due to the Hellbore arming cycle, this power deficiency means that the Hydran should eventually close to effective range - the question is will he be dead by the time he gets there? I wonder if playing on a location map would help solve the "infinite Saber Dance" problem, as eventually the Lyran would be cornered - might be worth a try. Don't get me wrong, I am a Dragoon fan (as well as a fan of the Tiger) and I would hate to see this ship castrated too!

I played this (Dragoon Vs. Tiger) duel last night with Kang, and the Tiger lost pretty badly. It stareted out as a Saber Dance but the Hydran piled on the speed and got to close range as the Lyran turned for the second disruptor shot, then unleashed the phasers and hellbores - no overloads as there wasn't enough power. This shot the Tiger up a little with minimal return fire to the Dragoon due to power and weapon arc problems, resulting in heavy shield damage but only a burn interally.
The Tiger decided to stay for the closer-range (3-4) phaser fight and just ended up losing out in the end, as after a few turns the Hellbores really started to hurt where shields had been dropped with phaser-fire. Although the strange hellbore arcs meant that a full alpha-strike never happened, it did mean that the Tiger pretty much couldn't get on the Dragoon's tail and out of the Hellbore arcs. The power advantage of the DG started to show when the Tiger began to take engine damage - even though the Hellbores are an immense power drain, the Dragoon lost a tube or two which meant it still had a fairly decent power curve. We stopped the game when the Lyran ship was heavily damaged (not quite crippled but not really combat-worthy either, obviosuly the battle was decided) and the Hydran had only relatively light internal damage (although the shields were battered of course, and just a few weapon hits started to tell - the DG's Achilles' heel.).
I'd like to play this fight again but swap ships, to see how much of that outcome was luck and/or player balance (to be honest we're both about as good as each-other so player balance probably isn't the major issue).

Interesting, Dave.
I'm curious as to how the DG scored any significant HB damage past the ESGs - did Kang not arm them?
Unless my math is off, a HB will score a total of 10 damage (5+5) at range 9-15. That's 40 in total from all four...exactly enough to be absorbed by two ESGs.
If the Lyran starts turn 1 with with 37 points of power, plus 4 from batteries, that's 41;
6 to arm the globes (he gets 4 points in them for free on turn 1), 16 for speed, 8 for standard (sabre dance) disruptors, leaving 11 for phasers/shield re-inforcement/accelleration/batteries for next time, or even some overloads.
On subsequent turns, he only needs to use 5 points for the ESGs due to the Hellbore recharge turn - of course, if you delay firing the 'bores, the energy stays in the ESG cap.
To me it looks as if the sabre dance will pit four disruptors and five or six ph-1s against two ph-1s and four ph-2s.
What am I missing?

Well given he said that he piled on the speed and got close, with only power preventing the initial overload, I would say that he never fired at the 9-15 range. At close range not only do the HBs do more damage than the ESG can stop, there is also the Ph-Gs to worry about.
The HBs were also noted as firing in further turns, with no mention that he didn't overload. If I remember correctly at close range a single O-HB will do more damage than a full ESG can stop. Even if you only fire 2 HB a turn that leaves the lyran having to put 10 power a turn into ESGs and still take some HB damage. That seems unlikely if he also wants to fire his weapons (which he will need to if he actually wants to beat the other guy). By then of course he will have a 'weak' shield that the HBs will keep hitting.
It sounds like that there was no saber dance after a turn or 2.

There are several other points I'd like to add.
Part of the difficulty was getting the Tiger's Disruptor arc lined up. I say 'arc' because that's what it is - it's a single, fixed forward firing arc and in the close-in knife fight we had, it was difficult to get the Dragoon in that arc. Added to that the Dragoon's 'over-the-shoulder' capability meant that the Dragoon was getting heavy weapon shots where the Tiger was not. A D5 would have fared better in this regard, for example.
Power was not really an issue in close, or not all that much, because in the speed-guessing game we pretty much matched each other's choices. This illustrates a paradox with knife fighting. Up close, if you have too much speed, you end up being forced out in front of the enemy ship unless you do some heavy decel, and that means having less power than the enemy because you have already paid for more speed than he has - although you would have the initiative.
However, up close, you really do need the initiative, and a very interesting part of that battle was the up-close guessing game. That's the paradox.
These two ships are exactly matched in agility; only the speed affects the initiative in that case. We had probably three whole turns of guessing in close. Scary!
However that's not to say that the Tiger didn't land some pretty heavy strikes. I'd all but knocked down two or three of his shields, with the remaining ones damaged to some extent. It is a tribute to Dave's manoeuvring skill, and a bit of luck too of course, that meant that he'd spread that damage over more of the shields - that's what they are there for. But that's the problem with the Hellbore; being on the receiving end I mean - is that if you have a weakened shield then it's gonna take a hammering, which to some extent reduces the importance of the in-close guessing game. It's only going to get worse over the course of the battle. And that's where the Hellbore really decides the close-in fight.
The other thing is that he had to avoid Range 1, otherwise he would have taken ESG damage. The Phaser-G and other weapons on the Dragoon are effective at Range 2, just outside the range of the ESG. Because of this, I did not get the chance, due to Dave's clever manoeuvring, to use the ESGs offensively against his ship. I appreciate his generous statement that we are pretty evenly matched as players - we are - but I do think he has a slight edge.
As for using the ESGs to prevent Hellbore damage, well, I did later on, but for the first salvo I did not realise that you had to call anti-Hellbore mode before the dice are rolled. Not that the first salvo was especially critical, but I will know next time.
What did I do right? Well, my first Disruptor salvo combined with Phaser-1's scored very heavily on his #1 shield, a factor which influenced his manoueuvring for the rest of the game. It was about 20 or so damage from Range 10. Impressive. I wanted to follow-up on that but I did not get the chance as he turned the shield away and then I didn't get the Disruptors in arc again for that shield.
What would I have done differently? Firstly, more manoueuvring away from hex-splines during a saber-dance, using the hex-grid to get Disruptor shots while not losing the arc. I hope that makes sense. I think it's better to stay right away from hex rows when saber-dancing.
Secondly, part of my early strategy was indeed to saber-dance, but eventually you need to turn in again. Storeyelf is right - there was no saber-dance after Turn #1. With the Hydran's speed right up, as was mine, the turn modes are horrendous and the closure speed terrific. This does not go well with a manoeuvre-based strategy. True, I could have done a weaving pattern while running away; having battered his #1 shield like I did, I could have run and continued to pound his forward shields with six Phaser-1's, while he had only the 2 Phaser-1's and the Hellbores with which to reply. Of course, my rear shields would have taken damage, but once the Hellbores were fired I could have turned back in again for the ESG ram.
There are a number of things I would have done differently, and will do next time, but I don't want to give Dave too many hints
And here's another little tip too, that I have posted in another forum but got more-or-less put-down for - don't use decels until the end of the impulse or you will count as being slower, and thereby lose initiative. I have re-realised the wisdom of this. I was right. Tell your sister, I was right.....
[with apologies to Darth Vader]
And finally here's a shot of Dave's excellent miniatures as used in this battle, posed, of course, before the commencement of hostilities. At this point they were friends, but then someone said something rude about someone else's mother, and, well, you know how it goes....

Thanks for the excellent report.
I'm suprised the ships are so evenly matched; I would have thought a couple of OL disruptor + ph-1 volleys would have ended it once the range came below 8.
Humph. I need more game time...

BOSTON — Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose says he is making progress in his rehab from reconstructive knee surgery but his left leg "still isn't right."
Rose spoke with reporters after Wednesday night's 71-69 loss to the Celtics in Boston. He says he's doing more every week, but he still can't dunk.
"Being able to dunk," Rose said. "I can't dunk right now. So I know if I could dunk off stride I know I'd be out there playing but I can't."
Rose says the team is leaving it to him to decide when he feels ready, but he says he won't let the injury change the way he plays. He wants to make sure he can handle being banged around inside.
Rose has been practicing and traveling with the team. But he told USA Today this week that he is prepared to miss the whole season rather than come back too soon.
"I would love to play this year. I would love to, I would love to," Rose said. "That's why I approach my rehab and my workout so hard. I'm trying to get back out there on the court as quickly as possible. But if I have anything later on there's no point."
