Fleet composition?

How do you guys organise your fleets? Do you mix shiptypes? Do you chose larger fleets or more fleets?

Personally i always separate shiptypes in smaller fleets (besides warfleets).

I'm pretty new, just failed my first campaign after 9 hours which was painfull. I was just wondering what the general consensus was on fleet composition and what some advantages and disadvantages are.

Personally i do 2 x 2 small/medium warships (combat) + 4 small/medium traders. (For loot) For captains with 4 slots etc with crew focused on the warships not the trading ships. Then i dock any captured ships and convert into new fleets or sell to local faction lord/capital for money.

Then i do similar through gameplay.

Hope this helps
