A suggestion of a ship between gunboat and cruiser size that has side mounted torpedos (if thats dooable) Say between 4-7 on each side. The actually turret guns the ship would have would be about 2 maybe 3 average size guns to defend itself but not overly hurt small fighters, the torpedo bays will be mainly too hurt capital ships, plus it will add to the broadsiding strategy of the old wooden frigates. Just a thought.
