The average value of an ult xan is 1192.9k. Since they are almost entirely made of fi that is going to be 200-250k fi each. If p3n intel is correct they have 54 xans so lets say 11,880k fi. This needs 2.9mil beets to emp or 2.8mil clips. Lets presume half of each that is 41mil value to kill Ult’s fleets. To do this 7 times over would require 287mil value in anti fi. With BF having only 193mil value your math is a bit suspect. Of course in the case of clipps you wont need to kill all that value so it might just about be possible. But then what do you do about the other alliance's ships that are not Fi? We are talking about a ST round; BF surely only have at most a third of their total value in anti fi.

Edit: But yes I agree with fortran there were conga lines on the xans which as you say were expendable. As a result there was probably a lot more value free to fight of the waves there were on the value cats and ziks. This however too means there was poor coordination.
