meh, try 2x sovan rush
in FFA i rushed 2 players at once with sovans, got stupid credit income
And no it dont effect the metal/crystal.
The trik is to guess what kind of start the player takes. if he rushes to LRM's, you need fighters. If he got mass mediums, bombers are your wepons of choise.
Also upgrading armor and hull will healp you out allot.
Keys is to scout his every move as you bring the sovan near
