Good question.

If your metas are on the offensive, then my beam cruisers with a bit of chaff are what win, because after the first round, you have almost no ships at all, because I wasn't foolish enough to build jihad cruisers; they're really far too weak.

... and your metas are HORRIBLY vulnerable to beams, becasue you either have a single slot of armor, or a single slot of shields, either way it's not very good on the defense, relying entirely on shoot first.

If yours is a counterdesign, then yes, it will kill the cruisers. But I've never denied metas beat cruisers when they're counterdesigns.

... and I just did a bit of checking. Actually, your metas won't do very well at all against cruisers.

Assuming equal investment of everything but bora (which is reasonable, I'd say...), then I have approximately twice as many cruisers as you have metas.

Your metas will kill slightly less than half their number in cruisers in the first volley, where they do 340 damage per meta.

It takes 700 to kill a cruiser.

Therefore, I still have about three quarters of my cruisers left.

I return fire, and my ships are highly accurate as well, without jamming in play.

And you have minimal shielding. My round is two-part.
First: One of my two slots fires. 85 damage per ship to shields, taking them all down, and 85 damage per ship to your metas; you have 2/3rds the number of ships I do, therefore that's ~127 damage to each of your ships. That is, in case you're keeping track, about 25% damage to all your ships.

Second: My other slot fires. You have no shields. I do double damage, dealing 340 damage per ship of mine to your ships. Still having 2/3rds the number of ships I have, that's 510 damage per ship of yours.

Your entire fleet is annihilated, at the cost of a quarter of mine.

Pretty good trade, I'd say.

And that's with a *bad* design against yours.

And if you use one slot of armor instead of a slot of shields, the situation's far, far worse for you. ...
