Oh, another weak idea: Single-weapon Escorts with an MC and an ECM, using a weapon with shorter range than your main ships (all ships using long-range Max/Don'tGetHurt) - so the Escorts deploy closer, and if they are using Target Nearest, the escorts will absorb some fire, giving your full warships more time to do damage.
If the AI uses only Target Strongest, you might be able to have "strongest" ships hanging out at long range (where hopefully they won't get hit too often), while "weaker" ships charge to point blank and hopefully do lots of damage.
Another weak idea: cheap ram ships.
