"If your going Strike Craft, don't waste your money on scouts. Use that precious money on Interceptors and Defenders. Also, if you're Kushan, get Drone Frigates into the mix. Always get Support Frigates if Fuel burn is turned on, and maybe send a few Corvettes.

Remember that Carriers are used for building up to frigates. Also, if you're keeping track of Harvesting, take a resource CONTROLLER and escort it and the Collector with Strike Craft. Resource Controllers serve as drop off points. Also, with research ships, you can only get six of em. Also, remember that research doesn't cost any resources." - Zergman

"The best thing to kill pesky little fighter class units are missile destroyers - becuase they can be used on most things with success, MGC's are only good at one role..." - }{unter ]{iller

"Never keep your ships next to your Mothership in military parade during a war. Always have them in your preferred formation and on aggressive so they can be ready to attack if any ships sneak past your sensors." - The Nothing

"When fighting with strike craft, alternate your modes (evasive, neutral, aggressive) rapidly and your ships will jerk back and forth, a proven way to avoid hits." - Josh

"Organize your attacking units into 4 groups.

group 1 - light skirmish
group 2 - heavy skirmish
group 3 - light attack (eg bombers and assault frigates)
group 4 - heavy cruisers and destroyers (missile too)
group 5 - support frigates and carrier.

don't use everything to attack at once, when one group runs out of fuel, bring them back and replace with a fresh group" - vyse
