In our last installment, we explored what archetypes were available to defeat Fat ships in Round 1 of Escalation.

This time, we'll be continuing the evolution of those fleets.

Specifically, what they are weak against, and how they can shore up against those weaknesses in further rounds.

The archetypes I examined were Swarm and Alpha-Strike, both in various forms.

In the comments, Harrier fleets and Agility sinks were also introduced.

As last time, I'll be mulling this over at work, and will be happy to hear your takes in the meantime, and will be back in a few hours to rejoin the discussion.
