I really like battlecruisers overall, because they're still maximum speed. With a high tech start though, I like to go with baseships, as nothing else can use the massive mount shield depleter, engine destroyer, and repulsor combination so effectively.

Well my responses aren't unique, but here they come...
Light Cruiser - Defense bonus + first hull that gains access to the large mount
Battleship - Decent mobility + first hull to gain access to a huge mount

While we're on the topic of ship sizes, I have to ask... Is there any reason to use cruisers? I can't seem to find a use for em mainly

Cruisers can have more defense than Light Cruisers, or 2 more weapons (or 3 ).

Light Cruisers and Battle Cruisers, with Battleships as a close third.

LCs because they can carry Large mount and are pretty easy to get, BCs because they're the biggest ship that can hit speed 12, BBs for the heavy mount.
