Well I just don't know who you are talking about.

I did some quick tests and frigates might be fine. Yeah taking out big planets would be a lot tougher, but I don't think it would be impossible. Even with the big weapons plats with high tech weapons you can overcome it with enough ships. What it would do is make you build ships with the anti-planetary weapons and keep you fleets in formation. For example it might take 200-300 frigates with APB and no formation to take out a homeworld, but 50-75 frigates with napalm in a wall formation might be able to pull it off. And a mass of drones might do the job even easier. I havn't tested that.

On the other hand since you are limiting ships you could also limit weapons platform sizes. and maybe Drones as well.

One thing that could be a problem though is some fo the stellar manip comps won't fit on a frigate, or even a destroyer.
