Hi!

The answer to your question changes with (nearly) every tech level you or your opponent manage to gain. But generally speaking the colloidal FF isn't an early skirmisher anymore.

What I've used in my games for early skirmishers is:
- just a few DDs with 3*blue lasers, QJ-5 engine and "attack unarmed/any" battle order to disrupt opponent's pop freight and skirmish with his escorting DD with 2 red lasers,
- 2*red laser DDs with FM and 2 man-jets as interceptors,
- 3*red laser FFs with 2 shields and DLL-7 as first real skirmisher,
- DD with 3*sappers to sap opponents' FF skirmishers,
- 2*bazooka 1*shield DD as first sweeper/skirmisher.

The DD with 1 colloidal, 1 sapper, 1 shield and AD-8 was usually used in early mid game as an all-purpose skirmisher and sweeper.

BR, Iztok
