If a fleet seems too small and you have a large empire, I'd say you need to keep producing frigates and capital ships. Keep the gears of your military complex grinding and keep your rally points updated. That's my suggestion. Hope it helps.
I just picked up the game and decided to work on my skills with TEC. I wanted to raise this topic for discussion; what capital ships do you prefer? I normally choose the colonial ship first so that I can acquire asteroids and other easy pickins for my empire and gather more resources. Does anybody choose another first? Why? What I build next changes from time to time, but I prefer the bombardment capital ship, because oh do I love to watch enemy planets engulfed in firestorms. Carr
