Hi!

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.

Well...

Thank you.

Now to dissect your testbed. Very Happy

...Battle speed helps, hence 2 torps rather than 3...

The design you used for a beamer (FF, 3 bazookas, 2 wolverines, FM) was the exact design I've used in a game for my FF horde, but in that game my race was a _WM_, so it had a combat speed of 1.5. That speed is IMO the lowest acceptable for a beamer. If it is slower, then your testbed shows the most likely result of a battle. I could change that by putting better engine on a FF (let's say AD-8), but then just the engine costs more then the FF hull (that offers only 45 armor), and that really doesn't comply with my parsimonious soul Wink

.

So for any other race but WM and IS my first real warship would be a cruiser (OFC it depends of the game situation, 've used successfully bazooka FFs against crobby colloidal FFs). The CC is 1-2 turns of research higher then a FF, but renders ANY missile below Jihad (and your testbed Smile

) obsolete.
