So in my last game i decided to make my resupply ships into a strike group of floating fortresses, basically basestars from BSG.

On a per size basis, they are not the most efficient - but on a single unit basis, no other unit can equal the firepower and shielding. Even a max construction tech, ackdarian race bonus 20% ship size capital ship comes only rougjly 2/3 the total firepower with far less shielding than a resupply ship fortress, even with the tonnage used to comply with defined requirments.

It may not be everyones cup of tea, but man it was pretty fun. Self sufficient groups of 5-6 resupply base stars that could refuel where ever, repair each other, and just rain death down on everyone, i designed mine as fighters / plasma torps / bombard weapon platforms with massive shielding, warp deny, and the gravity tech that stops hyper ships.

My goal wasnt to conquer, simply exterminate. The entire game i basically used the same dozen resupply basestars to foght then exterminate planet by planet every other empire. Veru borgish i suppose.
