Mekton has an excellent construction system and you can always use it to
build tanks and fighters. I've found that if properly designed, non-mech
units can be more effective than mechs with euqivalent point costs.
The only problem is the main sets don't have a fleet engagement system
besides rolling for each ship (which works well for small fleets but not
quite as well for thousands of ships).
You could also use one miniature to represent 1000 ships and resolve damage
from the die roll as number of ships destroyed.
