An Easter Egg. It was a frigate used by Project Freelancer in Red Vs Blue, has a low spawn probability, high damage, and high evade chance. Has had reduced stats in more recent releases due to it obliterating ships and entire fleets very easily.

The AI can be very vulnerable early game, even on harder difficulties, even when they're the Cov. A very entertaining way to win is to immediately hunt down and mercilessly assaulting the AI at the early game, once you've wrecked the ....... I forget the word.... the .... crap well screw it.Most of his fleet, then you've all but won the game

Kill all flood worlds ASAP before you have a fleet of 15 CAS or Super destroyers bearing down on your planet.
When I die, please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! Just pack my box with PT gear! 'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero five! The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! Don't you worry, don't come undone! It's just my ghost on a PT run!”

The AI almost never builds CASs or Super Destroyers, and usually it's only one or two. I wish they made more capital ships. Same with the UNSC AI, Supercarriers are almost never built. Don't understand why.

Because the AI decides what would be best to use against you, as the Supercarriers are crap, they never use them. the CAS is never used because why have one big ship with a few squadrons when you can have 70SDVs and 140 squadrons?

1)Always have a plan to destroy your own fleet in case of flood.
2)Outspend your enemy on flood.
3)Don't fight the flood, RUN.
4) Cower in fear with your entire fleet.

That is basically how I have started playing the covies.

You know, I once had the flood activated, and they took over the ship. THEY TOOK OVER THAT SHIP. I knew that I was immediately screwed from the very beginning when I saw that. I just quit then and there.

1. There is no god, only the flood
2. You can kick and scream all you want but the flood's gonna get in one way or another.
3. Its taught me how bad the war really was for the UNSC.

I disagree with your first statement. 
And kind of the 3rd statement. I mean, are we talking about the humans NOW or the human when the Forerunners were around. Was it rough for those in the past? Yes, but they held the line and did a very good job at it. In fact, one might even say that they could've won if the Forerunners hadn't intervened. Then again, I'm probably missing some part of the canon, seeing as it's 2:34AM and I have class at 6. O.O

1. If flood isn't activate and there is a flood world blocking off one of two paths into your area of the system, you got a good defense.
2. The flood, no matter what game you fight it in is still horrifying
3. Fighters play a major role when coming against a covvie fleet, found out that they love building bombers.
4. I personally think the Charon and Paris class frigates should cost 5 supply instead of ten
Odds be damned, full flank speed!

just dont play with the flood.
I second this.
I have done it both ways - in the literal sense (turning them off) and in the metephorical sense... I once throught it would be funny to actually try toying with them....
... Yea, about 10 seconds in i realised i had made a monumentally bad tactical desicion.
