• A battle fought unprepared is lost
  • Officer group consults to select the optimal plan
  • Every phase of the optimal plan should be memorized by crew and fleet prior to action through extensive study and rehearsal
  • An attack should be precise and efficient
  • Discipline in following the plan is just as important as creativity and skill in mounting an attack
• Strapping engines to asteroids and using them as mass KE weapons
• Rely on durability and whittle enemy down, if possible
• Always do a full scan of enemy ASAP, even in battle — could reveal weak points
• Fox-class shuttles have aether — use their cannons!
  • Assess target offensive capability versus shuttle defense (i.e. survivability); is deploying vulnerable smallcraft worth it?
• Spotter/picket ships (scouts) can relay data to stealth ships
• Carrier doctrine? (Good or bad?)
  • Requires escorts, otherwise is vulnerable (ala mini-shipyards)
• Make the enemy lose focus by creating internal strife in them (how would you do this?)
  • Send teams of Yamataians or Geshrin into Enemy territory as civilians, use them to stir up anti-government sentiment
  • Siege psychology - make Yamataian rule preferable; e.g. offer a superior solution to current planetary regime with regards to food or water supply
• Intelligence is key - lets us know where to hit and how hard
• Covert ops, infiltration, propoganda, anti-espionage
  • Complete Media Control?
• Focus on heavy ships?
  • Focus on keeping our edge in firepower and mobility
• Keep edge in technology
  • “Staying on the cutting edge of technology requires a large amount of resources though, since it's an ongoing process, which includes more than just developing the products and upgrading what we have, it includes espionage to get any secrets other people have, counterespionage to keep them from getting ours, defenses of our research facilities…”
• Minimize targets for the enemy (how?)
• Lure main Enemy force into Ambush?
• “He who defends everything, defends nothing”. In terms of defensive tactics, focus more on response, then anticipation. This will free up more resources for offensive fleets. Ergo Have a defensive fleet patrol clusters of systems, and can respond on the fly to any sudden attack on the home systems.
• If fighting a Nepleslian warship, take out the Continuum Distortion Drive first.
