Organise a large flotilla armed with Subpacs.  Use them like the roman
legions, flotillas 5 across and 4 deep and stagger the formations (about
1/2
- 1 MU separation between ships to avoid area weapons). 
Simply charge towards the enemy, take your casualties and unload at
point
blank range.  Not much survives that sort of salvo, and you ignore
screens
and can target the high priority targets.

Mass: 7
Cost: 7+2+2+4+12 = 27 NPV
Hull: 1
MD: 4
Firecon
4 x Subpacs or 4 x MKPs or 1 SMR
