Dual Duel Tournament: Lightweight Results
Bonnie+Clyde V. Battleship+Frigate
Round 1
Clyde and Bonnie rush Battleship, ignoring Frigate. Clyde gets on top of it while Bonnie circles around, each producing blaster vollies that would be crippling if not for Battleship’s incredible 5 PDs.
The Clyde gets an outer back section blown off fairly quickly by the Frigate’s mega beams, then goes back into the fray with Battleship. Soon enough, Clyde is blown to smithereens.
During this time, all the other ships have lost no sections, barring one frontal ablative on Battleship. Still, even the Battleship’s formidable PD hasn’t been able to protect it’s exposed rear completely. Bonnie has taken it to under half health.
Still, we never find out what would happen in a Bonnie V. Frigate match, as frigate destroys Bonnie soon enough afterwards (Despite having a hard time hitting with its inaccurate mega beams).
Round 2
This time a more aggressive Bonnie and Clyde rush in to dispatch the front three ablative sections of the Battleship. Afterwards, however, history repeats itself. The Clyde loses its three sections more or less simultaneously, leaving the core stranded and quickly dead. Bonnie then experiences targeting troubles, frequently acquiring Frigate with one of its blasters while shooting battleship with the other.
It, too, dies quickly and without making a significant additional dent in Battleship.
Winner: Battleship + Frigate!

Bummer.
This goes to show however there are some balance issues with a 2v2, one significantly more powerful ship and a light defender is more powerful than a pair.
That is not however to say, my design did NOT come into play with team Empty losing. Better luck next time!
EDIT: My suggestion is to make PD more expensive for lighter ships, since a small ship with several PDs can be pretty unstoppable.

Battleship + Frigate V. Gemini + Gemini
Round 1
The Gemini both head straight for Battleship, utilizing their superior speed to circle behind it and ignoring it’s PD with their scatterbeams.
Frigate does some damage to the Gemini, getting behind them with its mega beams, but it’s too slow and inaccurate to prevent them from destroying Battleship, at which point the match is essentially over.
Both Gemini turn around to demolish Frigate
Round 2
The Gemini Head in for the kill in a manner identical to round 1, subduing Battleship and Frigate even faster this time. The slaughter…
Winner: Gemini + Gemini!
And Elvin, I can't really judge what difference the Nano made, but it didn't seem like a big factor in either match.
