ok, i did some tests...

i let the langston horde fight some nubian with
4 stacks of BD
3 stacks of AMP
3 stacks of caps
1 stack of jammers
1 stack of shields
and warp10 engine

one normal nubian design

10 of these fought 100 of my langston shell frigates with
3 blunders.

in the end it was a question of who got the first shot.

when the stupid frigs move into range of the nub but not
close enough to come to range0, they die.

when both fleets moved at speed 2, (frigs WITH wm bonus),
the 100 frigs killed the nubians, and lost 10 of their 100
ships.

both fleets cost about 5000 resources, but the nubian requires
much more tech
weap 26 instead of 19
const 26 instead of 6
prop 12 against something around 10 i think

makes the frig a bit more attractive, but also this is not
a real game battle, and the comparison is on a ship vs ship
bases... but with beamers i think it makes sense...

i am not sure if my frig would try to catch the lighter chaff,
and end up one step apart each turn, who knows...

but the movement should not be the problem, as i like to fight
with lots of allies on both sides and then through battle board
starting positions you end up close to your enemy anyway...

and moving last and having higher init than nubians... well...
when the frig does 1800 points of damage, also the 12 beam
deflectors dont help much...

ah.... i dont know.... when i ever catch the MT with the langston
and am WM, i will try that...

just a thought...
