The aliens have 18 str particle beam armed battlecruisers that can go ~6000km/s, at least. That's gotta be a lance, right? Not an ordinary particle beam weapon.

Looking at your techs, the big problem I see you running into is going to be BFC range which is matched with the NPRs.
First impression is that you're trying to do way too much in a single ship, the design lacks a focus beyond trying to beat particle beams. You need to pick a plan and optimize a ship design for it.
The combination of armor + shields is inefficient; either use bare armor with the intention of absorbing an initial lance barrage, or use minimal armor but a lot more shields. I would probably prefer the latter as it matches the tactics described above which will be very effective.
As for the armament, turreted heavy lasers are horribly inefficient. You only need ~6000 km/s tracking to hit the target, which you get from mounting bare lasers on your hull. Using a turret with 10,000 km/s tracking speed is a waste of tonnage dedicated to gearing when it doesn't have to be.
You also should use a spinal laser whenever possible as these provide a significant alpha strike and long-range damage capability.
You can probably optimize this ship and bring it down to the 30-40 kton range which will be affordable.
A 9,000-ton ship is not going to be able to mount strong Gauss PD, AMM, and ASM capabilities all on one frame, it's just too much on too small of a ship.I do agree that ships need to be as specialized as possible. But I also want them to be very flexible. And I hate dealing with too many types. I wanted to use 10-12cm lasers for area PD initially, but gave up on this idea for a more coherent Gauss battery, for example.

ECCM-3 (1) ECM 30My only concern is the amount of research that goes into the designs as they have so many components that are not shared between the hull types. I usually come from a situation where I have multiple factions going at once and research is then a precious resource to keep the race with other factions competitive.I see where you're coming from. But Humanity is currently more worried about mineral costs, rather than research requirements. It is good to have research costs in mind, and we try to, when we can. Also, in peace time, I come up with new designs every tech generation, and the amount of RP spent to advance all the technologies one notch further is not comparable to the RP costs of components that come out of it. At least so it seems to me - I did not actually make any calculations on this. Just a gut feeling.
For practical reasons over time factions in my games usually end up with ship classes of different designs doing roughly the same thing and having the same capabilities... but rarely if ever are anyone designing two ships of different size having pretty much the same capabilities but just one is twice the size of the other. That is a huge waste of research unless they use the same components.In most of my Aurora games, I've been building carriers + multirole destoyers, mostly, with occasional cruiser design that act as a leader in absence of a carrier. Now that I'm trying to create more beam oriented Navy, I feel like most of my ships should have, well, beams. But still have some missiles for long range combat. Other than that, the designs I made are pretty different to one another in comparison. Or did I get you wrong?
Another thing I think you might consider is adding a few hangars on those bigger ship to keep some scout craft. Knowing where the enemy is and how strong they are before committing or revealing your force is key to any military operation through time and history.Ah, yes!.. I was going to create a utility design with hangar for scout fighters, flagship facilities, ELINT, Jump Drive, etc.. but I kinda settled with simply adding FLAG to the cruiser and forgot about the fighters.. I'll figure something out in my next generation designs.

I generally I find it odd that one would still design 6kt fleet vessels when you run around with 70kt battleships... you probably should have been able to make a bit more decent escort ships by then, unless there is some other reason why you keep them so small?

I think it's a good opportunity to take a look in detail in what makes a destroyer destroyer. The role of my destroyers is to guard the fleet from small, numerous threats. That's missiles, fighters and everything up to its own size. The best way to protect a fleet is to prevent it from being seen and attacked in the first place. That means having ships in advanced picket position, scattered around the "main body" of the fleet. That's where size matters - the smaller the ship, the harder it is to target from long range, and to detect by passive sensors, if it's going under restricted EMCON. One could even deploy pure sensor scout fighters or FACs (and I always do, within carrier centric doctrine), but here, in this particular case, I wanted something with less micromanagement overhead, an actual independent small warship, that can also work as an attacker, not just a scout/picket. This is why my destroyers are as small as possible, even compared to my previous games, where it was usually 7-10k tons.
My potential enemy (Duchy of Trif) so far has no fighters or FACs. I've scouted their home planet's orbit twice (first time I met them and then fairly recently the second time). And their smallest military combat ship is 8-9k tons. So, I chose to focus on 1) dealing with missiles; 2) dealing with ships of roughly its own size (hence the radar/MFCS resolution). If the enemy decides to employ fighters or smaller warships after all, I could simply a) refit a portion of existing destroyers to focus on smaller resolution radars/MFCs b) build new ships with such capability.
So, a layer of picketing destroyers could be employed at 1-2m, 10-20m or 50-100m km away from the main body of the fleet, to allow for advanced warning against, respectively, missiles, fighters, and warships. Small size of destroyers allows having many of them.
At this point, I've developed 50k km and 5 shot Gauss Cannons and thinking about swapping out lasers entirely for a bigger, coherent turreted short range dual purpose Gauss Cannon battery, but I'm still evaluating various options.
I think there is only a measure of what micro management you are willing to deal with... but if you make the escort functionality of the game your friend that is not really a huge issue in my opinion. Every little scout ship on my escorts sit in their own sub fleet and I can easily detach them using the escort mechanic and have them follow the mothership properly.Do you mean that fighter sized craft from hangars launch and land when using "deploy escorts"/"Recall escorts" orders? I am yet to test that, actually! Could you tell me a bit more?
I also often deploy smaller Frigate sized craft at around 3-4000t as they are a bit harder to detect in your 6kt role, and even they have a small hangar with additional scout crafts to stay safe. The best defence is to never be detected in the first place. These small frigate usually have a small railgun and a CIWS system for self defence only and a minimal armour belt, the rest are sensors and a small hangar.Hm, why railguns? For dual purpose work as anti-ship weapons? What is their max possible researchable range? I almost never touch railguns in my games so not really familiar with them. And what is the size of the the engines on the frigate then?
So, the outer picket usually are a few frigates with sensor scouts, the inner defence perimeter are the destroyers with their scout crafts and then the mission ships, yet more small scout crafts available. Destroyers can either defend the outer picket or the mission ships as the events unfold. The point being is that you need to know the strength and disposition of the enemy. You need to know if you can engage or not with overwhelming firepower, this is important. This is also why missiles on my fleet combat ships are never the main combat strength but fighters, unless we are talking about skirmishes. Destroyers are generally equipped with long range Anti-fighter FAC missiles and AMM only plus beam weapons, they are escorts not main combat ships. Cruisers and Carriers (battle carriers) have hangars big enough to fit strike fighters.This sounds more reasonable than my previously described picket doctrine, actually! Just a little bit complex for me, maybe? What is the size of your anti-fighter FAC missiles here and what the beam weapons on the destroyer? Could you share the design example please?
Not saying I'm right and you are wrong in any sense... but the ships in my fleets just grow larger and larger with every generation so my destroyers tend to be in the 10-25kt range over the course of a campaign. A cruiser might be about 30kt or more, no real size limit on those... Carriers are the same 30kt or more with some utility carriers at smaller sizes. Smaller and older destroyers might get relegated to frigate jobs and striped down of certain weapon systems and given more sensor equipment. Super Carriers with commercial engines also fit older destroyers well for escort, just with upgraded sensors and fire-controls mainly.I had to resist the urge of designing a bigger destroyer THE MINUTE I finished working on the 6k ton one! But, generally, my experience with Aurora 4x designs shows that my newer ships are usually smaller than previous generation, because they're not trying to do much more, just taking less space for more or less similar capability.
I would say my fleets are really fluent in what each ship do depending on needs and the age of the ships. I often re task ships to rear duties or scout role as they get older rather than refit the engines of every ship all the time to save minerals, time and resources on more important things. That means I have ships of different sizes too, just for different reasons, not by design.Oh, repurposing designs is very cool. In VB6 Aurora I even repurposed a bunch of destroyers into fast destroyer troop ships to land marines on enemy base! There was a mineral crisis (isn't there always one?) and so it was the most practical thing to do. So I hear ya!

Hm, why railguns? For dual purpose work as anti-ship weapons? What is their max possible researchable range? I almost never touch railguns in my games so not really familiar with them. And what is the size of the the engines on the frigate then?Well, the frigate role can be picked up by old destroyers too but there also are dedicated recon frigates. The beam weapon can pretty much be anything, depends on the faction when I play multiple faction... but railguns are a good middle ground. They are never really meant to go up against a fleet vessel so their beam weapon is mainly to defend against beam armed fighter, FAC or other smaller ships, railguns is a good overall weapon for a small ship as they can destroy some incoming missiles too. The weapon on the frigate is really not important. The point of them is to never be detected or if they are not be a good target as that will reveal the enemy for a low value target.
This sounds more reasonable than my previously described picket doctrine, actually! Just a little bit complex for me, maybe? What is the size of your anti-fighter FAC missiles here and what the beam weapons on the destroyer? Could you share the design example please?I don't have any active campaign right now but the range is roughly the same as the ASM. I usually aim for around 50-60% to-hit rates. With grew grade, CiC and officers I can easily get a total hit rate at 80-90% usually. Fighters are not that good at shooting down missiles either so you don't need to launch them in massive strikes either, so are a bit more economical that way. But they should be big enough you get the range... a yield of four is usually enough to engage fighters, not very good for ASM in general though. I do have some house rule about missiles though such as sensors ECM/ECCM or EM/Thermal as a means to represent guidance, communication and targeting systems, so my missiles are far from optimal and bigger than normal, even AMM. So giving specific detail might not be that useful.

But, generally, my experience with Aurora 4x designs shows that my newer ships are usually smaller than previous generation, because they're not trying to do much more, just taking less space for more or less similar capability.Larger ships just are that much more effective. The only drawback is slower construction and bigger thermal signature. But the efficient use of officers and bridge officers just make larger ships so much more effective. Not to mention efficiency of components. The idea is that if I always deploy a ship types in three or bigger squadrons than three in any mission I might as well combine them into one larger ship. If I need more scouts I just build dedicated scout craft and put them in a hangar on said ship as smaller sensors are way more efficient than large sensors anyway.

It is important to note when discussing ship sizes and detection that it is very rare to see sensor resolutions larger than 100 to 120 (5,000 to 6,000 tons) at least from NPR designs. Against player races a ship size of 6,000 tons may prove harder to detect but against NPRs it does not make any real difference if a ship is 6,000 or 60,000 tons - unless of course you are using cloaking devices. Usually for a larger ship class, 3,000 to 4,000 tons works well to avoid the largest NPR sensors. NPRs usually deploy a wide range of sensor resolutions so there is not too much reason to go smaller than this as you will not beat the lower-resolution sensors anyways.
The point of them is to never be detected or if they are not be a good target as that will reveal the enemy for a low value target.What would be your thoughts on armour rating 1 for such a ship then?
Most of my frigates are not super fast either, usually slower than most destroyers, their protection in generally not being detected or being a low value target or protected by other military assets that will be nearby anyway.

Each ship is a different target and thus more ships allow to distribute the offensive power. Which should be a good strategy dealing with high penetration, low ROF weapons like lances.
But I also understand that not everyone are as patient as me about how to conduct missions, for me that is part of the fun role-play aspect of the game.

But you are absolutely right about sensor resolution! In my older games I frequently used 8Kt sensors, but NPRs in C# seem to be sticking to res 100/120 tops. Thanks for noting that!
It is worth noting that Gauss cannons in almost all circumstances, other than point defense and some edge cases involving SW fire controls, will have inferior performance to 10cm railguns in terms of DPS (really DPS per ton to be precise). They are really not a good weapon to use for antiship work, they can be effective but rarely if ever as effective as any other option (except mesons, which are even worse).I found GC is a better light-weight option for small fighters in terms of tonnage, since they do not require a reactor. But I have not tried new reduced shot railguns yet, since my experience with them goes back to VB6 Aurora. Also...I am wondering what is the max researchable range for 10-12cm railgun in C# Aurora 1.13?
