Re: Best ship size?
I know one player that has won a game based on the light carrier/Light cruiser concept. But for My money the Dreadnought in the mainstay ship hull. It can contain everything you need to get to a battle and survive. I would never trust the Empire to light cruiser hulls. Battle cruisers are very suited to support type ships (fleet repair ships/supply ships). And the Baseship hull is the ultimate mine sweeper. I do think however that there is room in every fleet for all sizes of ships. And with all tech researched your fleet needs to be able to handle most situations well. (Suicide ships defending the wormhole etc.)
