KOTH: Attack of the Clones

The merchant would be at a 12-17% disadvantage in each area, and so would have a hard time overcoming that, esp. if the berzerker has lots of research and pushes for ECM, Combat sensors, and Training.

Merchant will have expanded quicker, and would have higher research. It's possible that he could overwhelm a bezerker.

Another thing you can try is lowering your Def to 75, and just focus on attack skill. With those extra points, you might be able to eek out an advantage in another area...

If you do that, your ships will not hardly ever be missed, and they will die very quickly.

Again, you would have to rely on numbers... Make a 120/75/Merchant with +15% Maint Reduction (total +20%) and you might have a chance. 20/20/Bezerker is probably better overall, but this design would be competitive, I think.
