It's rock/scissors paper time.
Put them up against K'rvak or P-torps.

I accept rock/paper/scissors because it costs me no time and money to
win or lose because of an incorrect choice before the game starts.
When a choice involves spending $400 CAN on models, 12 hours to clean
and assemble and 12 hours to paint and base them, 2 hours to make up the
forces and scenarios, and 4 hours to play the game, I don't like losing
because of a rudimentary fleet design decision (ref. ECC Can/Am FT
battle).
And I sure don't want the next printing of FB1 to say, "These are the
four major powers of the FT universe. Given equal point values, expect
NSL to beat NAC 90% of the time, FSE to beat NSL 90% of the time, ESU to
beat FSE 90% of the time, and ESU to beat NAC 90% of the time. If you
only have one opponent, good luck figuring out which two fleets out of
this book to buy."
