I'd just turn it into an research planet. If your ships are using black hole eruptors when the enimies all have stingers, it dosent matter how many ships they have you still murder them
I'm having the same problem too. The only way I've gotten the fleets to work right in the new patch is to use ships that are all the exact same.
