I'll start off:

 

1. Never jump with your main UNSC fleet into an Alliance controlled sector without sending an prowler first... Instant wipeout.. no matter how big your fleet was

And another thing -> Targeting is not suitable for UNSC since you want to spread your first volley of MACs on much ships as possible... (Damn u targeting AI wasting all my shots on one ccs...)

1. Hard means HARD.
2. Build that f*cking fleet faster boys.
3. There's always a bigger fleet in the next gravity well. No matter how many you've beaten.
4. Your defences should have been built yesterday.
5. I suck at Sins of the Prophets.

- Mines are an Admiral's best friend (seriously, buy them)

- Break your UNSC fleet into hot keyed "flights" and split those badboys up for priority targets.

- Let your cruisers auto Shiva, Its better that trying to co-ordinate 8-9 of them yourself in the 15 seconds before fleets collide.

- If the covies stop to fight, ride through them for another "pass"

- If the covies are spread out, dont ride through their fleet length wise. THIS IS A BAD IDEA.

 

Lastly, The flood fleets arent bad. Their forerunner ships are.

5. I suck at Sins of the Prophets.

I agree with every single point.

 

All I can say is that I thought this game wasn't about the numbers; it is, but you've got to pretend you have some control over it.

  1. Always send a scout first before committing your fleet to an unknown sector.
  2. Have a fleet for defense and/or stand-by for an assault and have a second fleet for hit-and-run attacks. (read: Focus frigate and capital shipyards first. In that order.)
  3. Spend the money on mines. They complement your defenses well.
  4. Make sure you have enough builders to replace those mines and any SMACS lost.

-   Don't worry about losing a level 10 capital ship.... they are all cannon fodder.

- Anchor Stations are a Key for moving fleets around fast

- One can never have enough SMacs

- Or MInes
