First don't bother with swarmers doesn't matter what server.
For the p-ships you use them to get a nebula without losing your lead ship.
But they only work on Main not Wars.

This is a fairly old p-ship design from The Broken:

Hull
1 with 138 Space

Powercore
1 with 50 wt. (weight) and 14,721 engen.
space = 138

Weapons
88 with 1 wt. 166 en. (energy) 16,846 att. (attack) and 1% acu.

The way you use them is you get 10 fleets.
Make sure all of them have more fp than your lead ship.
Then get one of them to have a total of 20% of your fp.

This way when someone attacks you they kill the lead p-ship fleet and puts you in a nebula (which prevents you from  being attacked).

tinies are ships with low hull size and expensive parts so they get a good swarm bonus very few people use them because they are really expensive.. dont mess with them while your learning the game
