Hegemon problems

[Enko]

If you are in a team, wouldn't it be better to skip the Hegemon altogether for a Bretonian Battlecruiser with flak cannons? 1-2 Arrastras, 1 Battlecruiser, 1-2 transports. Has anyone tried the maneuverability of a Battlecruiser in the new mining field compared to a Hegemon?

Battlecruisers have no strafe and no bonus, and they're basically useless for that. Hegemons get a sizable bonus for killing the asteroid itself, and they have a good buffer cargo for holding things in. A good hegemon can keep two undersized transports relatively happy and the true mining speed of a good solo hegemon is somewhere between 1-2 good transports as well.

The best way to go with group scaling is to either go with hegemon + transport scale or if you want a large operation it is possible to do 1 hegemon 1 fighter and several transports.
