Hi!

...2.5 speed mini minelayers ...
...to catch them the enemy must either build really fast beamers or missles. Missles cant sweep so he will end up with a lot of fast beamer ships.

A 2.5 speed CC is sufficient to intercept such ships. Just to let you know: such s CC is my standard heavy skirmisher. I usually build 50-100 of them in mid-game, to patroll my border. Often it replaces cheap sweepers in late game, when slots are scarce, and its price drops.

My understanding was that speed 2.25 with range 3 beams can hit anything. Based on this I (and from experience a lot of other players) go for this as a base. I would generally only use shorter range or slower speed beamers for counter designs.

Of course, I have no idea what happens if you stick an energy dampener on it. Can you get speed 2.5 and an ED on a MML hull ?
