I'm certainly going to experiment with it a little. My calculations about the efficiency of the sensors is that adding to the size of the sensor at the same time you increase the resolution to the double mean that you will be able to get really good range and coverage with your sensors. If you also place them in a staggered way throughout your fleet with larger resolution sensors on the larger hull size ships and smaller resolutions on the small ships you will get a very good umbrella of sensor coverage, including passive sensor bubbles.
I'm only theorising so far. . .
. . . I'm about to design my very first Frigate line of warships. This will basically be my smallest "real" combat warship at about 10k tones. The one below them will be colony defence gunboats at maybe 1-2k in size or so (short range missile equipped ships).
The frigates are basically my main patrol vessels and not there to actually combat any enemy real combat groups. My main fleet assets will be my cruisers, each group will be two light cruisers (30-40k size) and a heavy cruiser at 50-60k. The cruisers will be the backbone of my early fleets while later they will form my main picket for my super carriers 100k+. At least this is what the Terran admirals is dreaming of in the night. . .
In support of the cruisers I will have destroyer hunter packs, whose main job it is to sneak behind the enemy lines and attack their supply line or civilian ships if necessary, these ships will range in the size of 15-20k perhaps larger depending on technology and how easy it is for me to keep them stealthy, if it's even possible?
