Anyone found a way to kill the Unlimited Power style laser ships in a cost effective way. Inhave killed it by using 1000 drones and I think one of the disabled drones sniped a hit on the ship but I was getting 0fpm (frames per minute) so could not see what happened. Pretty easy. Massed nuke strike. Protect the nukes with a fair few cm of silica aerogel and a few of the will get through and instantly fuck up the massive radiators. If you are losing a lot of missiles just command detonate them. or send in drones with ignore range. If they don't dodge the projectiles it'll kill them. I second this. Those giant radiators are incredibly vulnerable. Flak missiles also work a treat, as do railgun drones.

A good 1-2 punch is to send in some kind of drone screened by cheap aerogel-armored missiles. The missiles always begin combat in front, so the laser targets them first. If the drones and their screen have similar enough acceleration, by the time the missiles detonate the drones will have already begun firing. Which means for the laser ship, it's too late.

An anti laser version of the stock gunship (with anti-laser armor, and modules armored with anti-laser coatings, and missiles with anti-laser coating), that starts combat with a small screen of missiles already out, and launches more missiles as they are destroyed, can also close into brawling range. Mind you, the odds of actually killing all of them in one pass aren't great, but you can get into brawling range (though, obviously, your relative velocity as you fly by will be great).
