Since Cracken allows himself to work on mediums I decided to see how to make him work with the Orcas. With him and ECM I have something akin to double defensive retrofits. But they don't have the guns of true HMC80 assault cruisers. So what do I do with those defenses? Put them to use by charging the enemy! FC and RLB makes them able to brawl at close range. Leia to circumvent situations where I don't time my commands right or get sliced.

I initially built the Paragon cheaply with Boarding Engineers to break an already crippled ship, with Admo to drop initial damage:
