True enough. My point was, that if enemy does not suspect you to use tacktics like that, you may surprise him and succeed. For example my fleet follows basically next composition:

2* Minesweepers (enough to sweep 100 mines)
1* Repair/supplyship (before quantum reactors)
1* PD-ship (for those pesky missiles&fighters)
1* Troop transport
N* Beam attack ships (depends of the purpose)

And often I have 2 or 3 different kind of Beam attak ships also. Those with computer viruses, with boarding parties, etc. All depending of the enemy and mission.
