Usually, the following: 1 of each cap ship 16-20 long ranged frigates 8-12 anti-fighter frigates 8-12 heavy cruisers 2 of each useful supporting cruiser 4-6 light carriers and, if need by, especially on harder difficulty settings, abuot 10-12 light attack frigates (aka, Cobalt)
The AI uses siege frigates rather well, so they are kinda needed in the game. Myself, I seldom use them as they have to come in after the first wave of my attack. As for the Akkan, it does have Targeting Uplink, for range and weapons fire. It is a decent support ship and allows a player to send in a capital ship for colonizing instead of the rather weak frigate. Furthermore, Ion Bolt combined with the Dunov's Magnetize gives the TEC the capability to disable targets ... a very useful

Yeah, I can't get it to run, either. So, I have to be a hacker/programmer to get a service program to run, eh? Log on to some microsoft site I have never seen or been to, and finagle the whole VISTA thing.... AGAIN?!?!? Hey, Stardock, why not make a program that installs? This whole Impulse thing is a joke. I can't even add it to an exceptions list in my firewall. Anyway, what a waste of time.
