So been around here for almost a year now. I've learned a lot and am performing a total fleet design with all I've learned. However the most problematic of these to revise is my buckler light frigate.
Buckler- Originally a 100k design it was increased to 120k as I couldn't fit even the practical bare minimum into the original.

As you can see though it does what a warship should it is expensive for what it brings to the table. So keeping the same role I increased tonnage by 50 percent the results were seemingly good leaving me with three designs to choose from. All three designs have notably better armor as
well as a level of boosted long range AA.
Buckler Upton Naval Laser Version- Uses most of the gained tonnage to mount 4 more quad NL55 bays one each on fore and aft broadsides. This design has the best long range all around anti fighter/dropship firepower.

Buckler Upton PD- This design gains a more modest 2 quad NL55 bays one on each broadside. Though having gaps in it's extreme range fires this design gains a significant number of sub capital lasers making it a deadly foe for fighters and dropships.

So which design do you guys think is the best. Any suggestions of improvements on designs is appreciated.
On a second note I also need to chose fighters for them. I have a 50 and 100 ton design. As I'm not sure how much speed matters I'm currently thinking 6 100 tonners and 10 50 tonners. Though If one is just better than the other let it be known.
Espada Heavy Fighter- Simple concept a 100 tone fighter 3 ER PPC and a Targeting computer to hit the enemy with punishing fire at range. Has ecm. Has armor able to take AC-20 on the nose and gauss rifle everywhere else.
High endurance in armor and fuel.

Daga Fleet Defense fighter- Theoretical twin to the Espada. Faster while having enough armor to stop a PPC thresholding on all faces except rear though that face can take an Large Laser. Has a heavy PPC to allow it high threshold chance. Has a targeting computer and ECM.
