I personally didn't start attacking til border defences were built up and I had some decent income. Then I could start building the big-uns. My strike groups are cantered around an SSD or Preator and the rest built up with ISD, Lancers and sometimes a Victory-II class, to fill it.

Are you hiding your Escort Carriers in the far corner? Remember that an SSD's reach is pretty impressive: between their sheer length and weapon ranges, it's usually enough to hit most ships--and destroy them, mind you, because the odds of successfully drawing all 138 weapon hardpoints away from the rather fragile fleet are so drastically small as to be impossible, unless you treat your carriers like ground troops you accidentally took with your fleet.

In short, some of the guns are inevitably going to find your ships, and then you're in trouble. This is why I advise bringing along some heavy guns: something has to bear the brunt of your fire, and it's probably not going to be even a Victory II. I do have to say you have one way of being efficient with pop space and money, but for heaven's sake, take a Star Destroyer with you. Or, better still, build three or four of those "squadrons" (in other words keep the proportion, but add more ships).

Yes, that is way too small. Not in terms of population, but size. However, any decent cap ship, with good fighter management, can beat a larger ship. For the PA, for example, all you need is a Praetor, which can take some fire while its fighter load can divert the rest. (Not that having two SSDs of your own hurts, either.)
just the opposite against the SSD
your fighters, wich are diverting the fire from the ship, while your larger ones attack.
if you are carefull enough and waching out for the ships turns, you can bring down the shields without your ships get any dmg!!!
that is the reason you have to make sure your fighters stay alive!
and if u lose a fighter/bomber squadron, an another one comes out for a small period of time. this is why the Escort Carrier for!!!!
thoose small fighters additionally hard to be hit by a turbolaser :)
ok i have to admit it was quite alone...
just lost pesitin vs the eoth, i send this task force there and i found the reaper there lonely...

Was that in 2.1?  Because I highly doubt the ability of 7 fighter squads, 1 cruiser, and 1 frigate to kill an SSD.

you need 1 victory, 2 Lancers, 1 Strike Cruiser, and an escort carrier.
just keep your fleet togeather, let the enemy fighters come to u, and cut em down with your lancers and maybe a few fighter squads, than you know your job.
just really make sure that your fighters and bombers survive til the final attack!
it will be fun :)

No, the Missile Boat is the "god this was a bad idea to ever put this in a story because it's so vastly overpowered".

So the Missile boat will now be the Tiny Capital Ship of Doom made to Kill Other Tiny Capital Ships of Doom.  Problem solved.

Yes, but Skiprays are ugly so get placed into the Ugly ship of doom that will blow you to tiny pieces for laughing at its ugliness class and I thought the Defender was designed to replace the Missile Boat making it more capable than the Boat.

Correction: the Defender replaced the Alpha XG-1 Star Wing (in some ways). The Missile A'Boat was developed to defeat the TIE Defenders of Zaarin.

MC-80b's?  Been quite annoyed with them lately as they keep popping up in raid fleets, but I shall try them.  As for B-Wings and fighter bombers, I do not like them.  It is a compromise, therefore inferior to a dedicated platform.  Yes, I know that TIE Defenders are officially fighter-bombers but that is like saying a Ferarri is just a car.  I would classify the Defender as a "Tiny Capital Ship That Brings Death to all who Oppose it" or a TCSTBDO for short.

That would be the classification of the Skipray Blastboat.  The Defender is incredibly powerful, but in canon, a squad of Blastboats is far more threatening to a capital ship than a squad of Defenders.  Although in dogfighting, the Defenders would shred the Blastboats without mercy.  Blastboat and Missile Boat are the only 2 bombers they have that carry 2 different types of warhead at the same time.
