In classic HW1, attacking the Bentusi was suicidal: they'd destroy the ship that attacked them, then take about 36 seconds to destroy your mothership. (Note: their ion beams were functionally continuous fire in HW1, while in the remaster they have a standard firing cycle) In the remaster they focus down all your frigates first (which means they can be kited by moving a support frigate behind your mothership; make them just focus the MS to fix) and they take approximately 200 seconds to destroy the mothership (meaning repair corvettes can easily negate the damage).
Need to fix the fire cycle, increase the damage, and fix the targeting priority. While I'm at it, need to change their beam color from the remaster's red to the original's yellow.
