My favorite design so far, is the
BlackHole class Combat Fortress. Not exactly a close range combat ship, since it fights at range six-plus, but getting closer wouldn't help this ship in any way.
Completely invisible to the naked eye of most races (+108% defense), Six talisman powered Heavy Polaron Beams, 1350 shields, with 170 regeneration per turn, 1470 armor, 6000 internal armor, MC plus biological crew backups.
Enough Whoop-*** to survive a counter-attack from 6 undamaged max-tech Phong Dreadnaughts,
solo, and crippling the enemy force before 30 rounds run out.
The purchase price is a staggering $100,000, but maintenance can be as low as 5K minerals. (free in SE4 v1.35
