It's been a while since I played and missiles got changed quite significantly. I was never really that good at ship design but I think I got the basic ideas for my fleet in the specific game I'm playing right now.
Designs below but I'll write about the ideas for ships here:
1. Atlas MK.2 Missile Cruisers:
The literal backbone of my fleet. These guys are equipped with 18 Jester drones each (stats below) giving them pretty serious effective engagement range of 700m km. They are the embodiment of my battle doctrine that relies on detection at long range (with scout ships or long range scanners), They can empty their stocks of Jester drones in about 70 minutes (with maximum range travel time of 17 hours).
Although this should never come into play as one ship should be perfectly capable of heavily wounding or destroying an enemy ship at a similar tech level. with roughly 40 potential points of damage per salvo, and 360 points of potential damage in all.
They are not equipped with long range sensors of their own, only missile control so they rely on the presence of scout ships or dedicated sensor vessels like the Fabius.
2. Fabius Command Ships:
Command vessels with the majority of our sensor equipment. Their goal is to provide targeting information for other vessels. They're also equipped with a flag deck to act as central command in battle scenarios.
They are tougher than the Atlases with 6 points of armor due to the highest probability of becoming an initial target (due to active sensors). They don't have any weapon capabilities and rely entirely on other vessels for protection.
3. The Hephistos and the Dauntless class:
Hephistos class ships will serve as colliers for the fleet carrying up to 1352 units worth of missile equipment. Mainly Hellfire and Defender missiles (seeing as an Atlas that ran out of Jester missiles is either dead or going back for resupply anyway). The Dantless class serves as the task force fuel supply and support vessel. Unlike Hephistos that can stay behind in safe sectors the Dauntless always follows the task force, serving as the main supply of fuel on longer missions. Due to being the lifeblood of the task force the Dauntless is layered with the absolutely excessive 9 units of armor. Since deep within enemy territory,range provided by the dauntless might be the difference between life and death for other vessels.
4. Hellraiser Missile Destroyer:
Fast and deadly the Hellrasers are the main line of defence (or distraction) for vessels that get too close to the Atlases. While still reliant on sensor coverage from the Command Ships their 25m range Hellfire missiles and speed superiority allows them to get in "close" to the enemy vessels. To finish them off or to push them off if attacked while Atlases are reloading their Jesters. They can also serve as rudimentary missile defence in dire times being equipped with 20 Defender anti-missile-missiles.
5.? Laser missile defences/ final defenders.
As of yet I have not completed all the research I want to achieve satisfactory laser technology. But those ships will be similar to Hellrasers in design, being fast, nimble and with their main goal being missile defence.
So that was quite the block of text, now for the actual numbers:

I don't quite know how to write up the missile stats nicely so I'll just plop a screen cap of the view tech window right here:

So what do you guys think? Decent enough?
