You really should have star shells and night recon if you have it. Anything that helps give you an edge and may help getting nuked. You can use vanguard with node support but the shelling will receive a 50% modifier. If you are at higher difficulties that will likely be disadvantageous but at lower difficulties the shelling modifier doesn't have as much impact with a good equipped support fleet, meaning you can still sink multple ships with node support even with the modifier at easy or below. And take advantage of the increased evasion and aggro to have heavier armor ships in the last 3 slots. Ultimately, try and see what works, I ended up more vanguard than line because line seemed to give me more damage but other people have different experiences.
