This is a series of ships that I usually go for, and I would appreciate some critics on them. The most recent missile tactics I have bene using is that using relatively fast and medium/short ranged ASMs.
First is a series of 12kt destroyer classes:
ASM destroyer, the main composition of the destroyer fleet.

AFM destroyer, provide anti fighter capabilities. Typically 1 in a fleet due to its cost. The AFM is designed to mainly counter beam fighters or boarding shuttles, and shared with the interceptors to provide long range anti-fighter capability. A bridging hull based on this ship can enable a shipyard to build all 3 types of missile destroyers here.

AMM destroyer escort. I'm still undecided on putting ECCM on AMMs, since based on my tests, with high agility tech an AMM without ECCM can perform reasonably well, and can be much cheaper.

Jump destroyer, two per fleet. Typically I put the jump drive on the sensor ship, but now it is very tempting to give the sensor ship a large sheild. With a bridging hull, this can be built in the same yard with the PD escort.
