1.Use initial fleets to blockade opposing sides ship yards.Any factory complex won't build while under blockcade. This will allow you to get a head start on the other side.
2.Find any starting construction yards and have them build more yards on the same world. Rather than builing yards on other worlds which will take 40 or more turns, Each additional yard will build faster. then once the world is full of yards then build on other planets far faster than otherwise.
3.Use your initial transports and troops to explore and control rim sectors. Remember, Any world you dont control, The enemy can. Besides with mines and refineries on those rim worlds, you can afford larger fleets.
4.Find your diplomats and deploy them to other core systems.Any character with a diplomacy skill of at least 80 is good. The lower skilled diplomats will improve with use.
5.Use the Emperor or Mon Mothma for recruiting.Keep sending them on recruitment missions on their starting systems. This will build up a pool of free agents. Once recruitment is finished, bring Luke or Vader back. They will then find any trainees in the pool.
6.Once trainees are found dedicate Vader or Luke to Jedi training. There's nothing like a Jedi diplomat to sway the allegiance of any world.
7.I like to use smaller ships to blockcade enemy planets.This blocks your opponent from the mineral wealth of the planet as well as crippling his maintenance.
8.When blockcading planets with small vessels its best to capture at least one planet in the system. This allows ships to retreat to the next planet over. allowing a turn a round of only a few days rather than weeks having to go to the next system over.
9.Long as were on the subject of small ships. Building groups of 50 or more in a taskfoce offers a very strong punch. Massive numbers of small ships is like cannon fodder. Massive fire power when used in large numbers and distracts opponent fighters from your larger vessels.
10. A deathstar works just as good at planetary bombardment as it does in Planetary destruction.Except this way it doesn't hurt the overall loyalty of controled worlds. Often time it can also turn that once 14 energy planet into a 4 energy planet. If you cant have it why should he?
