The opposite of what the Op wanted but this is an interesting idea.
Build suicide drones that have their own missile launchers that they use once they get close enough.
The drones would be more vulnerable to getting hit at longer range by big guns but once they close they unleash a swarm to overwhelm point defense.
Overall though with the Missile Shield option turned on I think big ships are much more likely to survive but also escort ships that focus on point defense systems would be added.
With Super science drives a fighter screen also might be an option, though they would be wiped out quickly if used offensively.
