In response to Hotfoot:
I like the biowar frigate idea. To be honest I have never used bioweapons, what exactly happens when one planet gets hit with a plague bomb? That single planet slowly dies off due to diminishing population?

I use LC's a lot in the beginning. I use Cruisers as repair ships since they'll hold two repair bays. At later stages the Battleship is my favorite: it has Heavy mounts, but can still move fast. I don't like the bigger designs like Dreadnoughts since they slow down my entire fleet.
My perfect fleet has about 50 ships, 15 of which are support ships. 2 Cruiser repair ships, 4 Cruiser fuel ships, 6-8 minesweepers, the rest mostly Battleships and LC's. This way I can attack a system, split off some forces to clean up (destroy) the planets there, and send the main force on with enough minesweepers to still sweep 100 mines.
