Alpha torps: normally regarded as useless, but...
If your weapons tech is low and you see heavy frigates coming for your colony, a stardock loaded with alpha torps may help. As soon as you get weapons 5 (or 6 if BET) you can upgrade to beta torps.
Alpha torp flak may be effective against late game missile boats+fast beamer flak shredder combo.
Single alpha torp on a ship may be useful in battle board manipulation of movement, for example drawing enemy beamers away from a friends missile boats for several turns.
Small freighters: normally regarded as useless, but...
Find a good green near your HW and especially for an HP race it may be good to build a few to get second planet up and running faster. Afterwards they can deliver germ. Later they can be merged with an early colony ship to allow jump of 81 ly/create colony orders. (Eg. When main frieghters are fuel tank privateers and you are in hurry to reach good green)
Small freighter flak is option to protect IS orgy freighters.
