MC30 Frigates are Ridiculous

[CaptainChaos]

Ok, One MC30 Frigate completely resisted the attacks of 2 Acclamaters, 1 Victory Cruiser, and an additional FIVE tartan cruisers, those 5 of which amplified their fire power. And I could barely touch the MC30. As a result, it had no problem traveling from one side of the map to the other to destroy the gravity well generator b/c it was essentially invulernable to everything except proton torpedoes and the hypervelocity cannon which was busy elsewhere. I mean really? 1 MC30 can take on 3 capital ships and 5 crusiers without a scratch? What's wrong with this picture.

Oh and I had a fleet commander so everything was causing 25% more damage.

I wouldn't go on to say that the Acclamator and the Victory is classified a capital ship.. hah. But on a serious note, yeah, the MC30's are op as hell. Make sure to start building Interdictors, as their missle jamming can disrupt the torpedoes. After their pesky torpedoes have no effects, make sure to take out their freakin engines. Then, their torpedo tubes, and then their laser cannons. Also, spam Tartans. Keep your Tartans in a sort of defensive perimieter around your base, and ALWAYS withdraw them from the MC30's. Never pursue an enemy into the fog of war, as they are the ones that are taking the risks to attack, not you. This is the only way I've figured out to counter their endless supply of B-wings and MC30's.

wow, this is all good advice, thanks so much!! I didn't know the interdictors can thwart their torpedoes. DOH!
