Oh sorry, I seem to have misunderstood you too Surprised

. I meant in hull costs, you meant in whole ship costs. Whoops. Beamer DNs will indeed use a lot more res and bor than beamer nubs ship for ship, but that's countered by having much higher firepower (3-4 times), which brings things back to roughly equal terms after the beam defs are weighed in on the side of the nubs. Missiles: it doesn't really matter that a missile DN costs 1.5 times the iron, because it has double to 2.5 times the firepower. And it has bigger slots = more kills to boot. They are without doubt the best torp hull IMO. And I don't think DNs are the be-all and the end-all of endgame ships, nubians are far better for defense because of their gateability, which no DN has. They also are reasonably equal in beamer-to-beamer matches, which makes them a good choice for counterdesigning DNs. But in missile-beamer, beamer-missile, and missile-missile, they just can't compete pound for pound with DNs IMO, which makes DNs the best choice for offensive operations.

hmmm ... suffice to say if I'm going to be using a mixed fleet and I'm probably going to go with (beamer DN or beamer nub) and missile nub for mobility in offence or defence and to balance my metal use. I'm unlikely to use missile DN despite those big ship-killing slots because of their expense in Ir & Res, their inability to gate and their vulnerability to chaff.
