Small ships rock. Put your best bomb and a sub-space teleporter on a small ship. Build 1000+ of them. Teleport to planet, destroy bases on first turn. Teleport back to start, letting missiles follow, then teleport back to planet and destroy more bases. Repeat as needed and rarely take a scratch.
Smaller ships have the edge when it comes to initiative which is based on engine speed/manueverability (Inertial stabilizer/nullifier are a must!). If you can fire first, there may not be anybody left to fire second. They work best in the hands of the Alkari (better beam defense) and Mrrshan (better attack ratings)
