"Hey... a probably very simple tip this. But just in case you haven't already realized it or it isn't on this site. Try using distractions when trying to capture cap ships. If you just send in the marine or infiltrator frigates without protections or diversions, you're not only going to lose frigates, you're going to lose respect." - Destructivate

"always try and accompany bombers with some interceptors, otherwise those bombers are real easy targets" - corosus

"In the mission where the nasty "movers" attack as soon a s you get there, they are pretty narrow minded. If you send just one corvette at the hoard and then veer off to the far reaches of the map, the whole gang will chase that one ship the entire time. If you have your movement researched on the corvettes, they outrun the movers. Sometimes you even have to wait for them to catch up. You can complete the whole mission while these dopes chase your corvette around the outside of the map." - Tim
