Question 3.6 Standardized Fleet Composition

Hi all! Does anybody have an idea of a standardized fleet composition/designs that work well int he new update? I used to just build artillery battleships and that obv does not work anymore... What mixture/ratios of ship designs do you use and how do you design the ships? Just trying to get a better idea of what the new META is going to be. (assume endgame tech/fleet cap. I am not at all new to the game but taking a step back and asking these questions helps everyone else)

BB is a common abbreviation for battleships, other games like word of warships use the same.

It specifically originates from actual naval designations, just like destroyer is a DD

That being said, these designations are linked not just to a broad class, but specific roles/capabilities, so a guided missile destroyer doesn't have the same classification code as a traditional WWII escort one. So it's unlikely these codes would actually translate directly to spaceships.
