some idea...

once you get the langston shell, you can build frigates that
have 175 armor, 350 shield (RS!) and move pretty fast.

with cheap weapons, reg. shields, maybe cheap engines and
the wm speed bonus, this is the cheapes horde design i can
imagine.

as wm, the blunderbuss may be very powerful, (it is soooo
cheap)
you have move 2++ and are lighter than any other ship,
you have brilliant
shield stacking, and as a bonus to other horde design...later

actually costs are below 50 resources and the ship makes
nearly 1800 points of damage... impressing

with that speed it also might catch all ships in round 2 of
any combat, and more important:
it is jammed by 10% by the langston shell...

thats not much, you will say, and you are right, but imagine
your enemy uses LOTS of sappers, then your fleet is targeted
by enemy missles and one jugger kills one frigate...

with 10% jamming your ships are still less attractive than
chaff, without jamming they migh not be...

i am not sure if this is smart, but i have the feeling that
if a WM catches the langston shell early in a game, he might
have a deadly weapon at hand...

never tried it, maybe its stupid, but its a nice idea Twisted Evil

i think i will try around a bit in a testbed...
