Sapper MM:
8 X Best Sapper
4 X Capacitor or Flux
Round out the rest of the slots with good engines, jets or overthrusters, and shields. These ships need to be fast and defense is a lesser concern. Use enough of these to drop the shields of the enemy beamers before they get a shot off. The initiative of the weapon helps to overcome the low init of the hull. Don't expect these units to survive long.

Don't expect them to do anything either, unless you put some kind of weapon that does actual damage on them. If I remember correctly, a ship equipped with only sapper weapons will not engage. It's been a long time for me, but it seems like I learned that one the hard way - Made a bunch of frigates or something with only pulse sapper weapons and they acted like unarmed ships. (Has anyone tried this lately? I may not remember correctly, or it might have been something I tried with v2.6 or v2.6b that was fixed later.)

I agree with the MM minelayer and minesweeper designs; I use those exact designs all the time. But since The Taubat was asking specifically about MM's compared to CR's, I didn't bother with mentioning other roles the MM could fill.

As for the mention of obsolete jihad ships, well, sometimes people get jihads and then they get fiesty. In fact, jihad technology is the breakthrough that turns tensions into war in every game I've been in, so I can't relate to those who talk about stalling warship production until omega nubian or even doomsday BB tech arrives - I've never seen that kind of game. If you're my hostile or otherwise scary neighbor you will field as many jihad warships as you can, or you might never get the chance to make anything better. What do I care about obsolescence? I have ultimate recycling. Scrap one at a time per base and I get almost everything back that I put into it in the first place, including resources. Better to have them than not. ...
