I usually build heavy DDs with a few Yakimora Phasers and Carbonic Armor... and a whatever battle engine I can slap on. I'm relatively sure shields are better but are they better when you have to give up a destroyer gun? I do the above design with WM, and I usually take all tech expensive so Carbonic is a year off and the rest is just prop for 1 move or greater. Is the design viable with any other PRT.
I know speed can be useful, but face it, you have to get into firing range to shoot... if they have as good of weapons. Can some ships get into firing range and move away before being shot? If you can only shoot and be shot at.... the heavier ships are longer lasting, and DDs with shields lose a gun.
With RS is the design of Shielded DDs more viable (I think it would be) and if playing IT, would the best design be more along the lines of a Frigate?
Usually I hear about Shielded DDs with bazooka's or Yak's usually Colloidal is about as far as I go before I get better hulls than FF or DD.
I'm wondering what other people like to field, if they have to, before 2420... especially how various PRTs affect that.(although I doubt that SD would put mine layers on their DDs)
