I use something similiar to TS, I also love the BCs, They're like the old sailing frigates of yesteryear, strong enough to do some damage, but fast enough to outrun anything bigger.

I usually make up raiding fleets made up of cloaked BCs. Make up is usually 5-10. 3 with heavy (by heavy I meant maxed out mounts) type beam weapons, 2 loaded with missles for planet bashing, 2 strictly pds for aa fire, the rest with various combos depending if/what advance trait I take. Use them for raiding behind the lines, glazing weaker planets, picking off single or small enemy fleets, causes your opponet to build or send fleets to either protect their systems or for search and destroy taking them out of the main line. The number of raider fleets depends on strategic situation.

I also use Torpedos (in fact like them better then msls) and always put some on my killer ships

just some ideas mac
