Someone who is actually using a dedicated sapper design will put enough computers in the sapper to fire before his missiles. A sapper like that with lower ini has no use at all, so why build it?

Well, your idea of sapping the shields was good (similar to frying the chaff before missiles shoot), but the high defense design you proposed (with the idea of it living longer because of that) was not. ![Wink](images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif)
Like I said in that thread, go all offense instead and only if you can get to the smaller missile stack of which you can compeletely strip the shields, don't bother with trying to bring the shield stack of the main RS beamer nub fleet from 420k shielding to 400k shielding ... that's no use and to sap more (significant) shields you need more sapper ships that once shields are gone sit there doing nothing, a waste of minerals and resources ...
