Basic plan, fly the arse off the vetts and get behind the enemy, force them to choose who to chase, vets or AFs

I played this with 2x AF2B and 5x CR90B the other day. It's a lot of fun. It's tough to nail down, not just for the speed, but because there are so many small ships it's really hard to concentrate firepower on then or build any kind of meaningful plan to face them.

The problem is it's very flimsy, and it's hard to focus your own fire. I think your CR90A's will mitigate the focusing issue somewhat, but then you're throwing tiny red shots with no modifications, which... Eewww...

There is a lot to like about your approach to minimalist list building.

The two things I don't like are

The lack of gunnery teams on the frigates - they're not a luxury optional extra, but the fleet's bread and butter!

A 6pt bid for 2nd. People give you that for free :D
