Massachusets Captain build question

[thiextar]

Just a question for our tame massachusets drivers out there.

 

If you had a 14 or 15 points captain to use for a Massachusetts secondary build, how would you build the captain? Considering that Aft, manual secondaries, and ifhe are all very important for a secondary build, which one would you skip? And would the ship still be competitive without an 18 point captain?

IFHE,  you need range and be able to hit something to do damage first, IFHE is only important vs BB

Yes

[kfa]

Competitive? No.

Fun? Yes.

Skip IFHE.

I have an 18 point captain and I still don't have IFHE. While I wouldn't mind having it, CE is way too important for survival and getting into positions to use those secondaries in the first place.

Thanks from me also for the advice all - I had a weak moment yesterday and bought the Kinky-Piece-Of-Trash version of MA (she does look rather fine in PVC)...
