In 3.0.5 a fleet of diamonds was very effective and cheaper than cubes. They had long weapons range, an all-killing torpedo and a lot of special energy. And they could fly in a very small formation, so you could keep them close together during battle.
Now, in 3.0.6 it seems like the torpedo damage has been greatly reduced. So your right, my "tactic" wont work anymore and a mixed fleet with spheres would do the job better. Ill give that a try, but spheres cant take that much of a pounding. At least in 3.0.5 the diamonds were much more resilient than spheres, but i have to recheck this
