In one of my current games, back when I was losing 2-3 technologically inferior destroyers for every enemy light cruiser I was crippling, I designed a suicide escort with nothing but the requied control sections, engines, and a Cobalt Warhead. I didn't think that design would survive to close with its target, so I tried adding armor and point defense to a frigate Version. The frigate would have cost more than my front line LCs, and the destroyer Version that added another weapon was more expensive than my first cruiser design! Obviously, I never actually built any of these. By the time I'd researched fighters, my casualties were more managable, so I haven't tried a kamikaze design for them yet.
