Is there any reason to build small ships?

    Personally, I've found beams and missiles to be the most effective against small ships. They're too agile to take down with cannons.

    Missiles meaning missile/beam, specifically. Swarmers can be outrun by fighters.

    This. Partly because I'm not a great shot, but missile/beam is the most reliable way of hitting something small. This is especially so when you factor in the best place for a bigger ship to be is at a distance, where the agility difference doesn't count for as much.
