That's a great list of ships. I would advise against the escorts in smaller games. From the games I have had, they have lost be the game because killing an escort squad (not so hard) in smaller games, handed my opponent tons of victory points. I would add in the escorts in 1500+ games, maybe 1000. Also, be really careful with your Shroud. I think their leadership bonus is great but they are pretty fragile. Be careful with them in smaller games. Ultimately, I would try to use mostly Scythes in 1000 and below.
