IS frigate swarming....

is it better to use 1 croby sharmour and 1 beam weapon in large numbers

or

2 croby and 3 beamers in slightly less numbers

or

Use the fielded kelarium with the same effect as above?

I think the second is better. 2 croby sharmours allow for better survival if hit my missile/torpedo ships which normally tear apart sheilded frigates because of the low hull armour. I've discovered range 3 croby frigates can cause lots of headaches for an opponent. They are light and will as such move last... meaning the range advantage will always apply (provided with a good engine anyway) and the only way to get past the range is with missiles/torps... which aren't as strong as we'd like against croby targets.

Also how does anyone/everyone feel about the Minigun? I personally love it. Played a duel with a friend about 2 years back with an IS against an SD. The minefields and his beta destroyers got ripped up by the minigun/croby frigates... until he churned out range 3 phaser bazookas they croby/mini was great.
