But it'll happily take a completely avoidable mk IX salvo or 3 on the chin rather than deal with the missiles in a sane manner. And I wasn't doing 1-1, that would have been unfair to the Dominator :v I'd give it a couple Enforcers and some Lashers just to make the Sunder sweat a little. First iteration gave the Sunder some swarmers and that was just a complete shitshow where it refused to do anything but plink with swarmers til out of ammo. Second had machine guns, which worked, super slow since it was more worried about clearing missiles than dealing with actual threats.
Gave it a pd frigate escort and buffed the dominator's escort in response. End result was one 0 cr escort frigate, and one 30 cr Sunder. Ought to hang the captain for cowardice, the number of times he gave up clear shots on the Dominator's engines to run from half a Pilum salvo with 0 flux was just pathetic, bonus points for popping high energy focus just before running.
