I was thinking on somethng.
The rocks did draw a lot of fire upon them.
But so did the fighters.
Is it worth to develop a very cheap and small fighter to draw enemy fire upon themselves?
Actually I´m not sure that is a good idea even myself. But I just wanna mention it anyway.
I think it might be worthwhile. I've been thinking, and it's become more and more apparent that we must use missiles as strike weapons, because Prix beams would almost certainly murder us; but our missiles would almost certainly be useless against Prix missile PD systems. And I mean useless - 0 hits. Our only hope is to completely exhaust the enemy's PD missile magazines before we attempt to do damage, as happened at Wolf 294. Given that they outrange us, we can't do so by firing off a string of individual missiles for them to target with excessive numbers of PD missiles (unless we design a size 1 or smaller missile/drone with extreme range and almost no warhead and engines? Actually, that sounds like a good idea...), since they'll already have targeted our fleet with their PD. But we can launch a bunch of fighters pretty easily to offer them a huge number of targets to waste missiles on.
Edit: Actually, that sounds a great idea. Can you fit 2 size 0.5 missiles in the space of a size 1? Regardless, design the smallest, cheapest missile/drone you can with range absolutely crucial. Give it a size 1 warhead at most, and carry a couple of thousand. Start launching them, 1 missile per salvo only but with as many salvos as possible, until the enemy has no more PD missiles left. Speed is unimportant as you don't care if they get taken out.
