Hi!
This sounds nice, however there are always some BUTs Wink :
- one more design slot needed, as you'll still need a shielded one sweeper,
- you can't afford to build them in numbers. At least my ISs usually needed too much bora for my beamer BBs to be able to use it for such a "chaff".
- they're just a little bit less attractive than scout chaff. I simply don't like to count on such a small difference in the chaos of a battle.
- crash-sweepers can be intercepted with "regular" DD sweepers with a single Gattling gun. Just 2 of DDs need to survive the first shot of FFs to destroy ALL of them in return-fire. And you'd need about 20 of FFs to kill a single DD sweeper. Sad

BR, Iztok
