The problem at high weapons levels with Cromby Frigates is they are slow with no jamming. As missiles get more accurate and have larger warheads, the frigates become too easy to kill. BBs and DNs with good armour and shields that are much more advance than Cromby, can mow down hordes like wheat, then withdraw do to the slow battlespeed and short range of the horde. If you add an energy damper, it get's real ugly.

The horde will crawl across the Battleboard, and you'll lose one frigate per missile bay the enemy has per combat round. For example, 40 BBs with Jugs and 6 super battle computers, will kill 800 frigate per round. The BBs will fire 4 times before the frigates will so the horde owner will lose 3200 frigates prior to being able to fire. Or the BBs could just kill 1600 and disengage.

If the enemy has energy dampers, then the frigate cannot get in range within the 7 combat round limit of a battle. They would lose about 5K frigates and do no damage. Against advanced missiles, Cromby Frigates become real expensive chaff. Of course there is the possibility of crowding the baatle board with other races on such, but let's not get into that right now.
