///Warning: Long post incoming. ///
Greetings!
I'm new at the forums but I've seen all the fun people're having talking about their ships and design philosophies and whatnot so I've decided to join in the fun. I'm still learning the game from all sources I can get my hands on but since I didn't manage to find any practice tar. . . ehm I mean brave and honorable interstellar warriors to test my might against I will gladly accept any tips and constructive criticism.
Behold! The Great Earth Alliance of United Corporations. Finally living in the new era of peace, harmony and technological progress and both interstellar exploration and expansion after getting out off what was known came to be known as the "Dark Age". But we don't like talking about that and no one cares about history anyways, right?
And because of just how peaceful present days we can't forget the lessons of the past. For there could be anything on the horizon and to be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
And so our peacekeeping forces maintain a great support both from population and from the Great Council itself.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce you to the fruits of our finest science and engineering the results of all the corporate blocks working as one. The technology of peace:
The Alliance Cruiser Family
-Our oldest design family meant to be the main battle ships of sorts similar to the role of main battle tank. Designed to be 90. 000tons in displacement and capable of both drawn out heavy fights and power projection. Currently consisting of 3 classes:
ACF Calypso Mk. V class War Cruiser Leader
-Named a nymph in Greek mythology for it's ability to hold off enemy by tanking, it's ability to take care of others and the irony of the name's meaning as the sensor ship.
It's a class meant to provide jump tendering, target designation, early warning and late warning fleet capabilities. Anti-missile missile and final fire fleet defence. Aswell as limited tanker, supply and collier capabilities along with the tank role by drawing fire to from enemy vessels due to it's great GPS profile.

Alliance Destroyer Family
-The newest of our 3 families has been, after many requests for smaller, more specialized ships, brought into life. And specialized they really are. Each class focusing solely on it's role and it's ability to achieve great speeds, it's meant to come in great numbers strike out of nowhere and finish enemy with a quick strike and speed and firepower being their protection, Bushido style!
-Suitable for system protection roles and short range/properly supplied runs.
-Named after Japanese, mainly WW2 military ships.
ADF Akizuki class Missile Destroyer Escort
-Named after WW2 Anti-Aircraft destroyer and a modern day missile destroyer, this one combines them both!

ADF Makinami class Special Type Destroyer
-Yet another former IJN destroyer name. Her name means "Overflowing Waves" (Rolling Wave). Fitting for Microwave ship, amirite?
-Designed for woom'n'zoom (Get in, blind the enemy, get out)
-Currently not used due to the live debate in the higher circles if the HPMWs are actually worth it if you can just blast enemy without it. And boarding actions which it was designed to support are considered too risky, atm.

I might post some PDCs later or even commercial designs if requested but I'm all outta time now.
ty55101:
Your range is really low. With what you have you can only travel 4 systems or so and return safely. Not to mention your shields are going to use up even more of the crew. When designing a ship you need to look at a couple of things:
1:Do I have enough logistics to support the ship on its voyages.
2.Do I have enough resources to support the ship.
3.Do I have enough resources to build many of these ships and if not will the ship be able to survive.
4.Is the ship able to give me back what I put into it or more.
I don't think you can logistically support this fleet nor do you have the resources to do so. Also, there is no point in having so many damage controls on a ship, because unless you can get out of the fight before your ship is destroyed or survive long enough to use them, they don't matter. Another thing is when you have more than one type of weapon on 1 ship then you need more fire controls which is extra weight/resources.
Edit: What I mean by this is having 3 ships with the same type of missiles and 3 of the same fire control is not efficient. So a better solution would be having 1 type on each ship, or for your big ships AMM on the command and carrier ships, with 2 fire controls on it./Edit
Another thing is your missiles barely go faster than your destroyers so you might as well take some stuff off of the destroyers and make the lasers shorter range so that they will be just as fast as the missiles and get rid of all launchers and magazines. Someone correct me if I mistyped or was confusing on anything.

I find it hard to judge high tech ships because their build costs skyrockets so quickly (Your fighters have as high BP as some of my destroyers :P). I wonder if there is a point were the cost of higher tech isn't justified.
Out of curiosity what is the build time for some of your ships? If your infrastructure kept up with the military tech maybe the high BP isn't an issue in your game.
I'd be worried that at that tech level a similar tech enemy could be throwing anti-ship missiles at you at ranges greater than 1 billion km. Maybe someone that has fought a battle at that tech level can say what should be expected. I am just guessing based on fact that everything is travelling about 10x the speed that the range would be about 10x the typical ion tech range of 100 million km.

Judging purely from the displayed tech level, he should have plenty of resources to throw around at this stage of the game. Looking at the dating system he used in the ship components, I instead suspect he might have started the game with a load of research completed, so may not be as economically developed as I thought just yet.
As for the ships:
Personally, I would stop at ~10 layers of armour and use the rest of the space for shields instead. Once you get past ~200 shield points, I think shields are just plain better than armour (unless you are fighting in nebulae of course).
It was said to me with my designs, and is indeed the case with you here: you will want to have a greater missile salvo density, especially considering your low rate of fire with the reduced size launchers. What that translates to is adding more missile launchers to your ships. You can pretty safely shift some of that tonnage dedicated to armour towards more launchers I think. While I'm on missiles, I don't really think reduced size launchers are the way to go for AAM if you can't still get 5s rate of fire on them, so I would suggest either going completely with the offensive 4WH size 1 missiles or replacing your size-1 launchers with types that have the maximum rate of fire.
Also, I'm not a fan of ECM on fighters - fighters need every scrap of space available to fit either more weapons or just go faster. If you're fighting an opponent who can actually get effective fire on those fighters purely from a tracking speed/to-hit chance point of view, 50 ECM probably won't help anyway.

Oh, and welcome to the forums by the way!

It is justified because you can research shipbuilding and shipyard construction times. So really with a ship that is twice as high tech, it is possible in that game you could build it in half the time if you focused your research on shipbuilding rate.
