I employ all electronics. Neural net, computer core, ecm & combat sensors, long range scanners, multiplex tracking, scanner jammer.

I stay at range > 100, which means it's a torpedoe battle... with the Xiati's 7 heavy mounts, I can easily overwhelm the enemy before he does... and I employ 4 PD's

Against Sithrak null-space projector I've found essential
- latest tech repair bay
- some character atributes in hull repair
- repair bay with to repair priority

Also I
- place my PD guns evenly spread through the ship
- my eletronics go in the outer positions... I can live without them
- my cargo holds go in the center of the ship, cause if you lose the cargo hold you'll probably lose all speed.
- My energy core used to be 1 50kt + 1 25kt. Best against sithrak would be 3 25kt spread around the ship

Ah, btw, I forgot in the other post, my xiati batttleship 3 goes with 30kt regular shields and 10kt organic armor everywhere.

What usually happens to me with this setup is that my ship is tollerant to 1 or 2 null-space hits ... and thats pretty good...
