The best combat ship the Covenant have is the Destra Crusader, so I usually tech to that ASAP,usually before I can even afford them in mass supply. I usually end up techning up thier ability (much later game) and their weapon upgrades, along with sheilding and hull. Outside of that, hanger defence, and if need be seige vessles, I don't tech much ship wise, really because I don't have a good use for them.

1 radiance, 1 mothership, 1 carrier. 15 disciples, 15 cruiser carriers, 5 guardians, 5 subjugators. hotkey the capital ships for ease of use. hold position tactic makes the come to you. Just send the radiance ahead of the fleet a little and hit animosity.

i love the radiance. best BB for tanking! as long as it shields are up and its being hit just keep killing frigates with brilliance, knock out capitals with antimatter drain, and pull aggro back to it with animosity. Mothership to revive shields and carrier to fire faster.

BTW destroyed a 400x ship pirate base with that fleet. came in with lvl4s left with level 10s

how good is the illuminator? i tend to skip it for more cruisers carriers and the destra's wonderful aura in the late game.

one of every capital ship, then spam Radiances :P

and when you get high enough in the tech tree, the mothership really becomes only useful for colonization. As well as destra's as both fleet support and defensive ships on every planet, 1-3 will fend off most pirate raids with a fully armed orbital defense network.

balanced combo, support ships as well as light frigs and heavy cruisers and flak and a few carriers tossed in for fun

the thing about advent fleets is that each ship covers a specific job so well that you should have practically all of them.

always guardians and subjugator as soon as i can afford them.
disciples and illiuminators as main forcs in the early game. laters also destro crusader depending on what the enemy does.

As capital ship i use the Mothership/battleship/carreir combo too. just owns any spammer. An additional mother ship and one of each battlecruiser is useful later on and maybe even more battleships...

Defender ships if i spot any carriers. A few purgers help bombing enemy planets but i mostly let them stay back cause they are auto focused by anyone not told to do something else.

This is a great thread. Are there race specific tactics? For example, when fighting the TEC with the nasty LRMs you do what. Or when fighting the Vasari late in the game, what tactics do you use.
