I'm really anxious to learn what other players like to open with. As TEC, I always open with 1 Akkan/10 Light Frigates. Lately though I've been looking at a force of 1 Akkan/10 LF with 10 LRM frigates added one or two wells later. My thinking is, use the Akkan to draw heat and, once siege frigates are eliminated, capture the planet, use the light frigates to help deliver a beating, and in a separate group, LRM frigates deliver better damage to stronger, priority targets (e.g., heavy cruisers).
