How to use in your fleet
It is best to think of these ships as Fighters - no more, no less. They are stat-wise similar, and the tachyon beams have a practically useless range except to flush out AI ships that attempt to slip right through your fleet. So, given that Fighters are good against Bombers (the classical high-threat fleet-ship in AI war), it would be pleasant to eliminate them that much faster.
What is useful about these ships is that they can clear Mines with impunity.
How to counter when in the AI fleet
Fight as normal and don't be dumb by flying your Scouts right through them on their way to the next planet. An AI unlock practically means that you can no longer afford to just send and forget a scouting run, as there will likely be a couple hanging around Wormhole Guard Posts spoiling the fun. Whether to clear out those 400M-HP guard posts remains the player's decision...
