If you choose Wide Area Jammer at this point you can think about creating a support ship comparable to an Interdictor Cruiser in Star Wars. Since ship specials are the same percent of ship capacity from size 3 higher, a size 3 ship is optimal. Put a Wide Area Jammer, Warp Dissipater, and Scout Lab if you have them for its support functionality. Everything else is purely defensive - stack in as much missile and beam defense, shields, hull, and armor as you can shove into it. Any space you have left should be dedicated to fighters, because since they are away from the front lines they are unlikely to be shot down. These fighters, preferably Interceptors, are mostly there either to shoot down other fighters or missiles that are chasing the support ship. It helps not to have Dauntless Guidance System (so they don't chase the enemy fleet), and to group them in single units to mete out according to missile/fighter group size. Just remember that since ECM bonuses are not added, any jammers on other ships you have there will be useless, so don't put them in your ships. This ship is also an excellent place to put your captain with anything that benefits the entire fleet. If you care about him you can give him a bigger ship. | |||
