It depends in large part on what kind of fleet you want and what fits in
with your history.  If you're playing a colony with 5 million people,
you
probably don't really have 36 SDN--more like a CL, a few frigates and
destroyers, and a batch of corvettes.

If you havent gotten around to making a
history-of-a-nation-that-isn't-yet-another-a-NAC-breakaway, and if
you're
using GZG ships, look at the specials on www.gzg.com and pick, say, a
battlegroup pack and a carrier pack (30pounds, roughly US$45), or the
megapack (50pounds/$75)--the VAT discount and the shipping charge are
about
the same, in my experience, but YMMV.

Or, emphasizing "low bottom line", you might start with something like 4
DD, 6 CL and 4 CA (per side).  When you want to run a scenario with
heavier
ships, just designate what you have as being a couple of size classes
larger ("that looks like a Jerez but it's really a Jeanne d'Arc").  

IMHO, though, you're better off as far as paint time (and shipping
charges)
to get a few large sets of ships instead of just a couple every month.
