As you see i stole some decent shippies, and in the end my FI fleet(with the added corsairs) gave me some roids, which i lost again immdiately since my gal was inactive.
Favourite ship: Cutlass(since it got me loads of ships)
Worst ship: Rogue (i kept stealing damn zik cruisers)

I have to say the scorpion was my favourite. The reaon for it being it could steal ships, which is a nice twist to a EMP race. It also amazed me how just 150 of them made ~700k Fi/Co incs on my galm8 pull on two occassions (being the only defence), i was actually hoping on some free CO, but apparantly it was to expensive for the attackers (getting 5-700 roids for ~1-2k CO lost to stealing).

I only stole those sents in the last few days I was longing for them all round. My favourite ship was the beetle, very effective at pissing off attackers, I have had about 17k for over a month, and at the time could freeze any fi fleet in the uni.
my fleet was more attack minded until the last few weeks, when I spent on nothing but BW and Scarabs for alliance def purposes.

Used to have a nice CR fleet, but that kind of died, and I didnt have the motivation to rebuild it. Then it happens that I got waved and lost everything but the ship types above, so I just built all CO for the rest of the round and hit a few nice big Terrans later in the round

Ghost 20,000 Lancer 5,500
Peacekeeper 5,000 Dagger 20,000
I love my ghosts in particular \o/ I ended on 133 defpoints, despite spending 15-16 days of the round in vacmode, and my ghosts made DCs very happy
I ended with a disproportionate number of daggers, as I spammed them for the last day's raiding, normally I'd probably have bought more pulsars, due to the plentiful fat terrans!
I wasn't particularly heavy on the attack ships once I reached a certain size, I found that 100k FI in an attack was generally more than enough since I rarely got defended by beetles anyway, so I just tried to make myself useful for the alliance and was happy enough with my final fleet composition... I had another 12k~ sentinels and 1k~ arrows but they kind of got stolen when I got to my absolute worst point and just recalled all my fleets so I could get into vacmode as soon as possible ^^
The arrowheads are there because I like nice round numbers and ordered a bunch earlier in the game. I definitely prefer the lancer, it made me almost immune to CO and provides nice flak for the peacekeepers.
EDIT: Oh yes, harpies rocked this round. Sents very rarely got sent on attacking duty, and I was so lucky that I was only deffed by harpies about 3 times all round!

Edit: my fleet has been eliminated utterly so i cant paste it. I didnt have many ships though, and i kept loosing my FI . I did have a nice amount of destroyers

having less def points but a better def fleet is a better way to contribute to your alliance.
eg, you sent 140 def fleets, lets say you solely covered 70 calls with that. I had 100 def points. I covered 80 calls with that.
I hate the notion of defence points. It benefits people who dont attack, which becomes inefficient for alliances.

Re: Fleet this round
Sue me. My fleet was specialised into a defensive fleet - which means that whilst the value of my fleet was lower, the proportion that was able to be used to defend was prolly higher. I only started to get overrun towards the end when 1) people started getting really big; 2) i kept loosing ships and so on. Furthermore, consider the problem of overkill - ie, you are the only person on so you send def, but the attack could have been sovered by something half as large and is thus inherrently wasteful.
it works both ways mate .

then I'd either
a) send half of my fleet, and use the other half for a second def fleet
or
b) wait for a bigger call to come in

It's the responsibility of the MOs to use good coverage rather than any coverage. Defense points isn't a silver bullet, but then, there are none of those.

And risk having part of your fleet stuck at home, whilst an attack fleet and another def fleet neither of which are appropriate places to stuff the excess ships in? I'd rather think not.

And let your alliance mate get roided for virtually nothing?
Glad i'm not in your alliance .

Re: Fleet this round
especially towards the end even smaller players like sovereign (still active and with an intact but small defence fleet) are useful because of hordes of newbies suiciding randomly. thus a top fleet would be a waste where his fleet matches perfect
i'd rather overkill a bit than split fleets - once losing a trapped fleet at base hurts big time and it is nothing really you can be proud of
