Need advice with perks and formations

I've once had the Hero and the MS targeting the same pirate wing, only to have the MS' Falconet hit the pirate, along with the Hero who's ahead of the MS; a Raptor T with a Granite just went -pft- in an instant. =b

The MS is somewhat strong if you take the time to manually set the target for it; the MS' turrets by default don't aim for ships that has been damaged, even if it only takes one hit from a pea shooter to vaporize the damn thing.

It's a quite strong tank if you have the Mk. III system enhancements, coupled with two Kalis, or a Kali & a Tungsten.
If you want a battleship-type MS, get the Mk. III weapon enhancements and set the turrets with single-shot lasers and/or particle accelerators.
