So now that I've decided to actually post on these forums, I'm starting a new game and asking for advice. Here are the two starting ships I designed. I cheated a bit and gave myself all techs costing four thousand or less. XD. So here they are, what do you think?

Obviously these two ship types are to be used in tandem, I'm thinking maybe two of each, or three each, or two beam and four missile, not sure yet. Any ideas? Are these worth using?
