i will take the light WP in this case...sure u have to run into it...and it doesnt have evasion after the 3rd tick...but i can get more firepower out of it

To answer the questions, most likely the 5 frigs would win, because the battleship "loses" a lot of damage, whenever it kills a frig. (Keep in mind 1st damage is apllied by batteries and not point by point so you can hit a 10hull frig with a 50 damage slot, and 2nd at least in the past targets were chosen before the battle calculation, so a killed ship was still a legal target for ships who fired later, or in easier words when the 1st battery killed the frig battery 2 and 3 could still aim and the already destroyed frig giving the battleship a strong disadvantage)

However this information has no real strategic value for how you should design your fleet, because space battles are like rock-paper-scissor, there is always a counter.

E.G. Frigs are toast if the run into a minefield, but against a Drall Fist they are less likely to get captured (because most of the time they are destroyed instead).

Gotcha.  So really i need to design my fleet to exploit the weakness of the enemy fleets.  Start with smaller ships and build bigger as i can afford it. 

I guess I should also pay a lot of attention to the ship and type bonuses as well, to capitalize my fleets killing power.

building a lot of small ships isnt that great...sure they can take planets faster but in a heads up fight a fleet with bigger ships tends to win...
