Well, after a bit of experimenting with the aforementioned dev sandbox-y editor, this is what my results yielded...

Yes they're pretty hard to deal with en masse.  I once modded the Pirate Armada to contain 600 Talon wings and 300 Buffalo 2's and the talons ruined me when I only used one ship at a time.  However when I brought out two of my 'point defense' paragons they started to melt since they lost the inniative and started to come at me one at a time instead of a massive cloud.

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.

What button do you press to load up that single onslaught on the opposing?

Oh, and did anybody notice the THERMAL PULSE CANNON ON THE ONSLAUGHT that was the idea of fixed weapons?. Also, a star on the map, that damages ships pretty quickly...

And thats why I load Proximity Charge Launchers onto my Medium Missile Slots on the Onslaught. A single one will ruin the day for these Talons.
