What Are Your Fleet Designs?

Couple of points:

Yes these are nice to have around:
Don't forget to include a direct fire weapon or they will run for the corners.

Repair Bays:
Most of the comments about using these make it fairly clear they are good for retrofitting but don't include them with the thought of repairing ships as most battles end with very few ships worth repairing.
