Subject: Re: FT: waves of fighters
I first suggested using waves of fighter attacks, but in groups of 2 or 3. 3 might be better since the main FB "carriers" have 6 groups so they could have 2 waves of fighters. Against the FB ships with their low amount of PDS (I'd have added about 1-2 more to each) the wave tactic doesn't hurt fighters much, but would hurt the swarms of fighter groups that people are trying to change the rules for. Swarms will stick kill ships but be far more costly in fighter losses and so second attacks won't be as deadly. Scatterguns won't be as effective as PDS vs waves, but then I think scatterguns are too cheap compared to PDS.
