SERPENT CLASS ESCORT has only one use. HISSss. Build it early at new starbases to increase your cash flow so that you can replace it with better ships. Due to its' low crew count, this ship gets captured too often to be useful for anti-scout defense. Look at the Eros for minor defenses instead of the Serpent..

REPTILE CLASS DESTROYER Never bring the Reptile into combat against a real warship. It only has four beams and low crew/mass will cause it to get captured or destroyed. This is a good cheap freight raider and minor ground assault ship. If you can afford it, build the Saurian instead.

EROS CLASS RESEARCH SHIP is the Lizard's lone terraformer. It is a much better anti-probe and anti-scout platform than the Serpent. The advantages of the Eros are quite obvious when you consider that two engines allows towing along with terraforming, hissing and minor defenses.

VENDETTA CLASS FRIGATE is no better in lizard hands than it is in fed. The low crew is this ship's achilles heel. There are some interesting "combat" tactics putting the low crew to advantage. But the functions are a bit limited and for the expenditure, go with the Lizard Cruiser or Saurian, the gain of cloak makes up for the loss of 1 or 2 torp tubes.
