My main offense will be a mix of beam cruisers and missile frigates, and I'm throwing around the idea of some small and fast fighters armed with microwaves and/or mesons to disable enemy systems on larger ships.
As for the cruisers, I've revisited my Cruiser design (again) and changed my plans for it (again) to be my basic medium-range offensive support.
Salvaging some ancient alien wrecks gave me a huge boost to ECM research, so decided to slap that on to the design. It may be a tad bit slow, so I'm considering making a new and smaller design that accompanies these cruisers with faster FC and either smaller or completely removed active sensors.
