Actually, I don't think most (possible) combinations are tried, yet most sensible ones propably are tried. Most combinations are ineffective or just plain useless, ie. a ship loaded with only armor and necessary ship control and engines. Or ship with all defence troops or a ship with all Shield depleters and nothing more, etc.
Sure there are combinations I haven't thought at, but how to organize such library only to include effective and inventive models? And who would do it? Who would make the decision which model is inventive instead of stupid? Considering how many combinations you can make only make using 2 weapons and 5 different mounts, it is stunning one (also to take notice the firing order, ie. weapon order in the ship). There are also valid reasons not to use always the biggest available mount (cost ie. building time and damage/weapon tonnage)
