I am curious though, why do you not like to use shipsets? I find this very interesting. :}

I would much rather *know* where the enemy ships are, rather than merely looking at them. I sometimes think about my turns when I'm not at the computer, but I can only "picture" the presence of these ships then. Being unable to rely on the graphics seem to make it easier to recall all these details about the ships, including who they belong to, their rough status, and so on.
So, shipsets don't help me at all for that, and are somewhat of a problem: many shipsets are too dark for my tastes (or too small; the Praetorians are a case in point), and I have trouble seeing what sort of hull it is at a glance with most shipsets. So I only use one or two shipsets, the ones I am most used to and the easiest to "use".
I guess it's kind of odd, and I can't explain it any better than that.
