Hi!

Comments about your croby frigates... one point often forgotten about IS is weapons are 25% more expensive. This means having the latest weapons is less effective compared to better armour, part of the reason my range 3 destroyers did much poorer than my range 1 destroyers.

I've not forgotten that, but range 2 ships are too easily countered by lighter R3 ships. Range 3 wolverine FF would have at least 3 free shots at R2 crobby FF. With at least close numbers lighter R3 ships would win most of the time. The other reason for R3 weapons on a 1.25_battle_speed ship is it shots at the last row in 4th round instead of 5th. Again one less free shot at it from those nasty missile/torpedo ships.

I admit the +25% higher weap cost for an IS isn't nice, but in our case it is boranium, the mineral I used to have in abundance in most games I've played (but the last). The question is still valid for an really early war, but that war would be probably fought with minigun/bazooka/yak DDs/FFs. And if that war would be fought between an +f IS and -f IS it is probably clear who'd be the winner.
