I'm not debating the fact that fi/co fleets, for a multitude of reasons, tend to do better than fr/de fleets, I just pointed out some errors in your previous posts.

There are pretty much two scenarios in which fr/de fleets can be superior;

1) An alliance has decided to go for fortress gals, or a whole galaxy goes for the same strategy, and decide to go for pure fr or de meaning that the gal is hard to roid and ingal def is very powerful. This strategy also requires an active alliance to accomplish successfully.

2) You are a solo planet trying to avoid much incs, a pure fr or de class fleet will get a lot less incs than if you spread your ships out over multiple classes. The downside here is that once you do get incs they tend to be very big and hard to cover.
