John,

The FB ships work well so long as they correspond to what you like. This
may sound odd, but I'll make sense of it.

If you personal style is beam heavy pounders, then the NSL might be for
you. If high thrust, maneuver reliant fleets are your style, then the
FSE,
etc.

If something isn't quite to your liking, then change it. My personal
preference is FSE ships, replacing the SMLs with beams. Thus I've
created
an FSE boarder patrol squadron, which dispenced with SMLs to avoid
logistics difficulties out on the fringe.

Test drive some fleets with counters to see what you like, and then buy
the
minis for the one that suits you most.
