My guess is no, since most people, myself included, don't use the standard ships. Usually the situations I get into require specific ships that aren't core ships. However, I do sometimes use standard transports, freighters, and space miners depending on the situation.

I often use freighters and space minors. I also am huge on designing ships situationally. ~Especially~ for war crafts. I always end up making a barebones contsructor model (with no engine or anything) just so I can make them faster and they usually don't go too far from the planet (ie. economic starbase) If its far away, or in someone elses territory, I load engines onto the puppy. I have short ranged versions of most ships actually.

Compared to custom made ships the standard designs are pretty bad. When i make warships I first find out what techs my opponent(s) have so I can load my ships accordingly. If they have lots of shield techs and mass driver techs then I build my ships with Misslies/Mass Drivers and Armor. A good custom ship can decimate a fleet of standard ships.
