I agree after seeing your arguments, but acc's are good for defending your inner worlds which if you need to form some of the acc's into a defence fleet cause when i get the victory's i take my acc's and put them on my inner worlds as a last line of defence.
Now i know you are gonig too shot down this as well but i've use use this strategy against my brother when play against each other. And he knows my stratagy very well but i always seem to beat. And don't call my bother an idoit or dumbass, cause he is very good at it.
Come to think of he had a rebel fleet that i just couldn't beat. I think it was:
3 Mon Cal's
4 Nebulan B's
4 Squadrans of each type of fighter
4 corvettes and gunships
And i was schooled all the time, cause he could use this fleet with great effect each time. And he was a relitvaly cheap fleet to make and it had few weaknesses. Of course that was when the game first came out and i'm a fairly good player, not the best.
I have been dragged through the depths of hell where the mercy meaning has been lost forever and pain is the only friend you will only know, for demons walk the earh and when you think the pain is over it comes back, only worse.
