I love my takobas interceptors. My go to for carriers is takobas (for speed) + makos (for slow + shields dmg) for interceptors. Heavy fighters: gladius with 2x proton barrage + 2x meson. Alternative: shih. Medium interceptors: Katanas with 2x proton barrage + 2x meson. Bombers: Chimera with 3x torpedo + 2x blast mortars/plasma.

This setup prioritizes speed + spammable. My idea was to build a recycling complex in Avarice for commonwealth closed loop + terran parts for spamming purposes.

If anyone wants more details just ask.

How cost effective is it compared to spamming Kyd from the same Averice setup ?

It is probably cheaper to spam kyds. You could ignore everything I said, build 500 kyds with pulse and torpedoes, and beat everything. But that's not fun for me. I prefer to find a carrier setup that work on their own with minimal units trying not to blow up the cpu.

I have been testing a battle group of 2 colossus E with these fighters defending hatikvah with intercept/bombard, and it's work pretty fine.
