No, I'm asking about ES2.. Isn't this the forum for ES2?

Big numbers don't always matter. You need to balance your fleet compositions. 1x Protector and 3x Attackers makes a basic combat task force, the Protector will tank damage while the Attackers kill the enemy.

One module of Armor and Shields on every build. Pick weapons based on the Battle Tactic you plan to use. Beams and Rockets for Long Range, Slugs and Lasers for Medium/Short.

Those big numbers on Missiles don't matter if the enemy blows them up before they connect. Or you could waste all your Missiles on one target and overkill it while letting its buddies live to kill you.

It helps to get slugs on your tank even on long range if you choose to use a similar composition.
