just as a personal persuit of information;
what's the smallest effective ship you've got?
I've got that the smallest ship with any action is size 5 (1 habitat, 1 engine, 1 mass scoop, 1 hold, 1 drone rack)- does anyone else see a smaller effective design- has anyone used this design?

Small ships get vaporized too easy, except a certain set of the darn gnats that keep outrunning my drones, lol.

So all of your ships start out or are grown to 76 systems?

Aye, speed is nice. My typical fighter class costs me 195 credits (largely due to testing dizzies), but I think my smallest effective ship would still be the 135 credit version I used in the last beta.

Fairly sure I'm going to settle on a 165 credit ship type.

Actually 76 is too big and slow for my tastes. I run about 50-60. Gives it a little more speed and still enough room to survive a few hits.
