As you can see this is a tactic to use to defend yourself when playing as the New Republic in a 1v1v1 skirmish vs hard ais
This is if you lose your golan III and get sent back to the Dark Age as in tech 1.
Make sure you have as many mines as possible and try to make as many Coronas Quasars and Sacheens as possible.
The Reason For this is they carry a large complement of fighters and if you keep sending them in you can eventually overwhelm the enemy with Fighters and Bombers.
I used this tactic after i was attacked by a huge IR and EOTH fleet I was able to take out the Eoth by sending in some of the mentioned Ships near one of my mines near their shipyard and overwhelmed their defences.
Then i destroyed the IR shipyard with 2 Endurances i had in reserves and some Coronas and Sacheens.
Then they sent in All of their ISD1 ISD2 Dominators and Tectors against me and i was able to use the Eoth remaining forces to distract them long enough for me to destroy the Forces attacking my Shipyard hope this helps enjoy.
I obviously won because i am telling you this.
Same thing with the EotH just make Aur'iettes or however you spell their name.
