... but can't escape in third round - a nice ability of a sweeper. This way I'm forcing my opponent to design 2+ speed ships to catch my CCs, or he has to use missile ships with speed of 1+ to intercept them. Either way is quite expensive for him.
BR, Iztok


Your opponent probably won't be using beamers with speed less than 2.25 anyway.

What about a PVT with w-10 engine, 1 organic armour, 2 bear shields, 1 best range 3 weapon and 1 overthruster ?

Speed 2.25, range 3, over 250dp each of armour and shields.

Fast enough to catch and kill the MML, can take a minefield hit, and once it kills the MML it can pick up the salvage and bring it home. Significantly cheaper than a cruiser too.
