Question about general strategy: missles vs. fighters vs. drones vs. direct fire, etc

[Ruatha]

I for one never relies on RD's (Not RDouglass but Resupply Depots!).
Every fleet and essentially all ships I make are capable of self sustaining supplies.
With 2 solar panels they can stop for a few turns and refuel, those trinary systems loads supplies fast.

WP's aren't all that efficient imo, they can't train and so can't get that extra edge.
A decent fleet wipes them out without major problems.

The best strategy is to beat the enemy fleets head on, defeat them without losses and at the same time glass their colonies, i e major owerpower in tech, numbers, tonnage and experiance.
I think that sums it up pretty well.
