I have a hard time too But that's the idea, right ?

It is hard to give a generic advise, it all depend on game setup and opposite races.

Currently, I am in love with missiles (seeking parasite rules !) on a largest hull available. However hard JLS (and other guys) try to optimise AI, the rigid structure of AI files can not adopt to either generic beam ships or dedicated missile hoards.

Even if AI has a numerical advantage, the generic narure of ship designs spread PD fire and stacks of 3+ missiles can get through.

Also, unless I am fighting crystalline race, advanced emmisive armour is a good protection agaonst pesky frigates and fighters
