A couple of comments:

1) Overgating is your friend. Do not be afraid of gating a 400kT ship through a 300kT gate, particularly if you can merge on arrival with another fleet and particularly especially if you can merge it with an SFX.

2) Freighters should be gatable. Really, you have to work at it to create non-gatable freighters, but don't. You want to be able to gate your cargo transports to where they are needed when they are needed, otherwise you end up building more freighters than you need.

3) Things change when you get Nubians. Generally people don't build missile Nubs because of the minerals costs vs. late game mineral depletion, but you can build Arm Nubs that are easily overgated. So, if you have Nub tech and you have Ironium, then you can build nasty gatable missile boats.
