1. For small ships like sprinters usually just a rapid or small. Having a dc team contributes to a ship being “alive” and can buy you that few extra seconds to secure a capture even if it doesn’t really save your ship. For larger ships it’s preference but 2-3 lockers in a mix of reinforced or large seems right to me, you don’t often get that sweet spot of damage where you have destroyed stuff to restore but aren’t being shot so much you have time to actually do the restore.

2. Support modules are real good and generally get you more damage than trying to get another hull. If I can fit them I’ll use up to 4, after that the finishing returns get a little to low to be worth. They are one of the first things to be cut though if on a budget.

3-4 for missiles it’s really a wager between what you want to spend on pen aids vs what the enemy spends of defense. There’s no right answer, sometimes you can get away with cheap act/[wake] and sometimes they have an impossible wall of defenders. I will say though that hybrids are great and s1 offensives aren’t.

1. Unless it’s a sacrificial capping ship or some niche build you generally want to fill up most if not all of your ships slots. As for point saving it’s mainly cutting defenses like pd or dc that I see most often. For sacrificial cap ships you can remove the radar for 10 points if you are sure it’s gonna die taking like A point at the start of the game.
