I don't have any fancy names to share since I name all my ships numerically. I won't bore you with fighters as it's an assorted and ill-equipped bunch, but here's my current capital ship status:

M1
Galleon x3
Raptor x2
Shuri
Zeus

M2
Akuma x2
Brigantine x14
Python x2

M7
Akurei x4
Carrack x6
Cobra x3
Gannet
Guppy
Kraken
Minotaur x2
Pather Raider
Thresher
Tiger

M6
Centaur x13
Dragon x2
Heavy Centaur Prototype
Heavy Dragon
Heavy Hydra
Hyperion Vanguard x12
Nemesis x2
Springblossom

My trading fleet is barely non-existant, but I do have at least 2 of each Commonwealth TLs, several Ryus and half a dozen Mammoths.

How are those Pirate M1's and M2's?
I have a number of the Carrack M7 and like them for the task I've assigned.

I'm thinking of 'going down there' and increasing my fleet some more.

The Brigantines are pretty much just really big Carracks. Respectable armaments and excellent turret coverage. I load it up with IBLs in the fore and aft, and Gauss Cannons on the sides because IBLs are in short supply. They fair well against those pesky Xenon incursions, but TBH I didn't set out with them in mind. They just sort of accumulated while I was training up marines...

The Galleons are ok, but I prefer my Raptors. I like my carriers to have big hanger bays, and the ability to run away.

This is when I collected my 6 Carracks. It's a nice little pass-time while waiting!

My first, and presently only, M1 is a Raptor.
I was looking at the 25 docking spaces on the Galleon and thinking they might make half-decent Sector defense ship/base.

I'll have to cap one and give it a try.
I have plenty of various fighters and interceptors that need a permanent 'home'.

What you have so far is how my Shrike is armed.

For the rear turret, you might think about missile defense and I have found the PRG and the PBE really good at this job.
Mixing CIG's and ISR up front is something I do with pretty good success.
Many of my M6's and M7's are set up this way.

I found enough IBL's for my Shrike so I have those up front on her.
Keep looking, I'm sure you will find them then you can change your weapons load-out!

EBC's are hard to find in my game.
I have plans to built a Complex for those and FAA's, also in limited number in my game.
I found EBC's great as anti-fighter defense---those few that I have.
I've placed them on a few of my freighters. Finding ammo is also an issue for me.

It's not what someone has done..it's about what they are about to do!

Well if you struggle find equipment, usually the best way is to build a complex with factories you want. You probably end up with more equipment than you need then lol

All I can say is that you will out of names long before I run out of numbers.

I would argue that he will run out of "Good" names before you run out of numbers!
