I mentioned some of those limitations in my original post. For Mr. Warmonger, decoys help against range 0 ships. One of the ones I had was that beamer destroyers can also work against these (but are vulnerable to beamer frigates).

I specifically stated 'heavily shielded frigates' which were non IS because that is what this applies to.

They actually work good on attack as well. You vastly outnumber a base, just as in jihad era and the defender does not know what to defend against. If he defends against betas with betas you can use beta destroyers or fast beamers.

You have to count that in this era, resources and germ tend to be the big issues. I will splurge on minerals, building things like gattling destroyers. Later when minerals start becoming depleted and your production will actually affect your minerals in the nub era, it becomes time to count minerals more than resources.
