Sniping
Sniping is a broad term to describe attacking the enemy battlecruiser from a long distance.
A human player on the Weapons Console, shoots the enemy battlecruiser using vision provided by small ships or a predator missiles tracking beacon.
Snipes can also be done "blind" where the player at the weapons console uses pings and previous knowledge of the enemy bc's position to fire randomly into space where he predicts the enemy battlecruiser is. Using ques like the lasers falling short of their maximum range and enemy battlecruiser shilds showing in the fog of war are used to snipe blind accuratly.
