There are 3 main warships you can build for your fleet. BattleShip, BattleCruiser, and Destroyer.
Which is the best can vary person to person, But Ill give you my breakdown on these ships.
Infrastructure
What can you afford and support. Do not overbuild ships if you are unable to maintain them keeping them in the air
Battle Ship
Structure points 60.000
Shield Strength 200
Attack Points 1.000
Cargo Capacity 1.500 Units
Base Speed 10.000
Fuel Consumption (Deuterium) 500
BattleCruiser
Structure points 70.000
Shield Strength 400
Attack Points 700
Cargo Capacity 750 Units
Base Speed 10.000
Fuel Consumption (Deuterium) 250
Destroyer
Structure points 110.000
Shield Strength 500
Attack Points 2.000
Cargo Capacity 2.000 Units
Base Speed 5.000
Fuel Consumption (Deuterium) 1.000
My opinion Battlecruiser is the way to build for the cheapest fuel bill is how I look at this, ships in numbers win. BC pwn BS, Dessies pwn both. However fuel wise you can support 4 BC to one dessie, battle simmed thats a tie when even WSA. In the end, you can support way more BC than anyother main warship in numbers and numbers make a difference.BS have better cargo, but if your like me and just want the fleet dont need cargo with LC follow ups and recs to get DF
