I'd like to try my hand at writing an Imperial fleeting char.

Ideally, a Captain in command of a battle line (probably a recon line) of four ships. As in:


A recon line had two or four ships, often light cruiser with improved sublight speed and improved Hyperwave signal interceptors. These ships operated alone or in pairs, tracking down Rebel bases. Often recon lines are sent into enemy terretory to actively look for hostile bases and fleets. However, their mission is not to actively engage the enemy, but to retreat and report their findings

Which type of ships would these be?

I figure something like this would give freedom in being able to move around, and provide a lot of chance to interact with The Enemy ;)

If you are looking to recon, I would use 2 Carracks as they are said to have the same sublight speed as an X-Wing, A strike Cruiser and a Lancer Class Frigate

A nominal battleline would be a Star Destroyer, an Escort Frigate, and two light escorts, probably Carracks or Lancers.

A recon line I don't have much experience with, but I probably agree with Tarrick, but with a flagship of a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, two Carracks, and a Lancer class Frigate.

I'd suggest a Nebulon-B as your command ship like Park suggests, purely for a little variety versus the Kalidor. ;)

Nebulons have a certain degree of anti-fighter ability, and Carracks can be configured that way too, so you might want to throw something other than the Lancer in. Perhaps something like an Imperial Customs Corvette (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Customs_corvette), to help you tackle those pesky smugglers?

I think I'll take that Nebulon B, two Carracks and one of those customs corvettes.

:cool

Ok question. I'll be forming a new taskforce that'll have three ISD-IIbs, each one having an escort of four ships, or a recon line escort. Would you like your command to be a part of this Task Force?
