Thats one of the things we have founds out as well most players here
like
big ships with few escorts then you just swarm themwith small
ships/fighters/SML and viola because very big ships arent as man as
small ones

The disads might cancel out excpet he can put ALOT of PDS on that size
vessel. Or you could try lots of fighters/carriers although I think it
would take a while to kill missles is prolly the easiest with auto-hits
just bring LOTS of ammo he will prolly have a good amount of PDS
