Greetings Iztok:

I always enjoy reading posts from you. You are a skeptic, but you ask questions, try things out, and never seem insulting... and I think that is healthy.

There are some additional things to take into consideration. Beta torps partially go through shields (which can cut the defenses of a heavily shielded frigate in half or more). Beta torps having an extra 2 range get first strike despite extra weight. Battle orders are important as well as decoys to more complex or unknown fights. Battle speed helps, hence 2 torps rather than 3.

I have arranged a testbed for you. I suggest others if they are sure they are right not bother to open it as it obviously won't contain anything they don't already know.

Added note... my decoys may be less than perfect for the situation.

Notes:

Beta Torp guy with same production had 1/3 more ships (33 verses 22). But he only sends 2/3 of his ships to the big battle to keep things fair (plus compensate for extra germ used).

You need to generate a turn to see a battle, that way it is easy to change options before watching.
