most battles end with very few ships worth repairing.

Depends on how you set your strategies. In a tough battle, I often have a large number of partially damaged ships. If your fleet is "chasing" the enemy fleet, this can easily happen as your damaged ships will be left behind and unmolested on the battle field.

ALL ships are worth repairing, after all, its free!

I must be missing something: I never take a SY ship with my fleets, just repair bay ships. I understand the arguments but they seem to apply so rarely to my style of play.

My fleet profile

1. Enough sweepers for 100 mines
2. One repair bay for every 5 heavy ships or 10 light ships.
3. One PD ship for every 5 to 10 attack ships.
4. One boarding ships for every 4 attack ships.

I go along with everyones thoughts on sensors and supply. Put them on the non-combatants. Also, I break my own rules as often as I follow them.
