you want to be taking more than three cobras, three are just a pest that will get destroyed eaily, 4-8 releasing a full torpedo spread when coupled with their manouverability are great at dividing you opponents fleet allowing you to take it on in smaller chunks. Same for the duantless, on it's own (even couple with the three cobras) won't be much of a threat, and if it does become one the whole squadron will get finished off in short time. Personally I'd probably drop a cruiser for a dauntless and as many cobras as you can. Just my opinion though.
nice to see someoone playing gothic still, great game
