i love maws, cause they can eat units under forcefields, eat nasty sentinel frigates, lightning torpedo frigates, tackle drone launchers, and other nasty shit. on high cap setting, 15 maws (5 of every mark) kill around 350 mixed ships with 0,1 or 2 losses. and another pro tip: they can eat command station guard ships without alerting them, so they wont fire back if you dont fire at them

The whole point Jannik is that the same maws could do a similar feat on low caps without problem to greater effect since they are really multiple ships at the same time.

I'm not saying they're completely useless on high caps, just that their power varies based on the cap far too much.  On low caps, those 350 ships are effectively 2800 ships on high cap.
