well i am playing a game right now, and basically my stratagy is to kill before they get a chance to fight back, for this reason I get ships with loads of weapons and no shields(extremly quick to build) and put them on the warp points, they scatter all around it and it basically when someone comes through they home in from all directions and usually kill in turn 1 or 2 but when they are in a fleet it neatly organises them and it takes 3 turns or so to get the enemy and they basically have a chance to fight back.

for this reason i think for defending fleets are bad, but for attacking they are the best!
