Quit quibbling guys Smile

Metas are never used in a main fleet role, except by silly AI races Wink

Metas ARE useful in a specialist highly cloaking hunter/killer and/or penetrating scanning role. Such ships are relatively expensive, but you only need a small number of them to carry out the desired function. They can prey on undefended remote mining fleets, minelayers or freighters. Your enemy will get paranoid quickly and if he doesn't start escorting most of his fleets you can quickly shut his logistics down in local areas. My favourite hunter killer design was my 'U-Boat' which typically had 95-97% cloaking and 2 to 4 tech 16 beams, but there are many other roles which work, including cloaked pen scanner and cloaked minelayer.

Regards,

Nev

Gotta love this 'never' word! Never by you? That does not mean we are all that limited in our choices for the main fleet.

There were also people who insisted that Dreadnaughts were better than Nubs. It is all a matter of how you use the slots and what support ships you throw in the mix to maximize the strengths and limit the weaknesses.
