Tiidan Muli-Gun Corvette
11. Kushan/Tiidan Multi-Gun Corvette:  Using fast tracking turrets, this corvette can reek havoc on formations of fighters. Getting about twenty five of these can mean the difference between killing the little fighters sent against you or having to sortie more of your ships to engage them. In my opinion, killing your opponent's ships in your first engagement (not meaning with your scouts if you have them) is crucial, because if the enemy thinks you're weak, then they're just going to keep pounding you. This ship also can dock, so use this to your advantage. When this ship isn't in use, keep it in your Mothership or Carrier. Also, when sending this ship type on long missions, don't forget to send along a Support Frigate or Carrier for refueling purposes. 

Kushan Minelayer
12. Kushan/Tiidan Minelayer Corvette: This ship does what its name implies: it drops mines on the battlefield. These mines can track enemy capital ships and heavily damage them. Running a blockade of mines can seriously damage anyone's fleet, because mines will continue to track anything frigate-size or larger until they impact the ship. Fighters don't have any trouble with this because they can evade the mines, so mines are usually reserved for the sole purpose of weakening up the enemy's big ships. The Minelayer also can dock and uses fuel.

Tiidan Assault Frigate
13. Kushan/Tiidan Assault Frigate: The anti-fighter ship. With four moveable turrets and two fixed plasma guns, this ship can track and kill those annoying fighter-class ships. The only thing is that the back of these ships are extremely vulnerable. This frigate is best paired with fighter craft that can provide coverage. This ship class and higher does not require refueling and cannot dock. They also have limited abilities to repair themselves.

Kushan Ion Cannon Frigate
14. Kushan/Tiidan Ion Cannon Frigate: The Ion Cannon Frigate is something to marvel at. If you get a lot of these ships, you can make short work of anything frigate-size and larger. This frigate only has one weapon, its ion cannon; it is best if there are fighters guarding it to cover it as it attacks. Putting corvettes with this frigate can determine if a group of fighters is may to kill this ship or not.
  15. Kushan/Tiidan Support Frigate: When your corvettes or fighters need refueling and the Mothership is to far away, this ship can be salvation. It is a good idea to have two of these ships flying with your fighters to provide refueling and repair. They can fix little ships  and have them ready to fight in short order. The Support Frigate also can do repairs to capital ships or to the Mothership and can determine if you lose that ship or not. It can repair your ships in combat, giving them that extra boost they may need to win a battle. If you see the enemy using their own Support frigates, don't destroy them. Capture them.
