Ship Duo Question

[Telbasta]

VHF/Bomber will work better, the only SHF availbale is pretty slow, though it can fire a supernova which kinda makes up for it.

Alternatively, you could go with a gunboat + bomber, where the bomber is set up for heavy-hitting weapons (shield busters and a supernova, perhaps) and the gunboat is set up with a couple cerbs/solarises and several missile turrets. That will allow him to deal with fighters that would otherwise wreak havoc on the bomber, while the bomber maintains the firepower to take out transports and enemy capships.
