You will probably find that early on, with small fleets, missiles are king.
As the fleets get larger, point defense ships show up, and pave the way for assault ships.
That's when things get really interesting
The big, beefy warships with huge guns are always fun...

Seems that my enemies already have your strategy figured out!
The good thing for me is that I have a propulsion advantage, so I can try to bait him...until my own missile ships roll off the line. And my carrier should make his life hard as well.
You can't load stock empires. All the racial stuff is different!
Just create a new empire for yourself, and let the game choose random AIs for you.
Easy as that.
If you want to be able to select a shipset that is not in CB by default, go into se4\CB\races and create a new, empty folder with the shipset name.
The game will use the pictures from your root races folder automatically.
