I use Visio, a charting program. 

I created Visio stencils for FB1 and FB2. The FB2 stencil includes
everything
for all the alien races, including the special stuff for Sa'vasku. I can
fit
1500 point fleets on a standard 8 1/2" by 11" sheet (more on Euro A4
paper, or
North American legal size).

I used it to create the sheets for GenCon and got a fair number of
compliments
on them. You need Visio, though, which isn't an inexpensive program.
