3) Full attacks are usually not worthwhile until FF hulls are available. DD's just are not cost effective for a decent attack, and by the time you build up a decent attack fleet with them they are outdated. You get more shielding on your FF's and they stack well. As a rule, you can expect FF's en-mass when En6, con6, and w8 tech is available.

I don't understand the aversion to the DD hull (with 2 weapons and a shield). Every hull has both strengths and weaknesses. A non-IS FF is vulnerable to torps including beta torps (which are also useful against early beamer orbital forts and bases).
