I've been enjoying my 'honey pot' strategy. Have a game where I'm bottled up by a series of heavily reinforced Mk IV worlds with fortresses and the whole works. I have Parasites and Space Planes.

Mk I and II leeches, Mk I and II parasites, tractors, a repair ship, and some other lighter units and turrets (but no Heavy Beam Cannons in range of the wormhole) and I've been getting a decent supply of Mk IV and Core ships even though I don't have an advanced spacedock...

Zenith Scrounger: grab a dozen goodies from the zenith trader, then build them over the course of the rest of the game. Thanks to radar jammer II + counter spy + ion cannon II, i'm full-on protected against even large CPAs.

this might not be called strad but it might be tatic
k u get shuttles + fighters and other bulk ships
with the fighters you set off the other ships off by spliting off the fighters into 2 grops ones that go around attacking all ships and fighters that attack move
you follow the attack move and once they get an bunch of units drag towards them you send in you electric shuttles
the Roaming units are yust thier to stop the stray ships getting to your electric shuttles as they are consider a more than an threat but this only if you cant micro manage

once that done most of the ships should be dead that could destroy your fleet or ones that you want or not considering an threat anymore eg guard post

once that happens send all of you fighters except 1 then send it to the Ai command station (asuming no shield)

then send the 1 fighter to attack the ships and the FR ships should clump the ships together as they make the ultimate sacrifice delaying the enemy and causing them to stop and clump together

with awsome micro mangement know you should be able to hold off with the ai sending in prop ships ( 1 ship)
to set off your electric shuttles prefent this by making your remaing if any fighters attack move around to kill them before they come eg half map away

if you realy want all the ships to come after an while they should stop but if the fighter stilll alive then no.
they send unit after unit.
this yust to neuter the ai for long time. but it could be used as an distraction if thier is an alarm post if the cost of doing so is minimal.

another beautiful "attract enemy ship to specific place" idea

electric shuttles are good vs tag teamer AI- get them to all tag team to a wormhole with bait then push the whole shuttle pop through the wormhole

with awsome micro mangement know you should be able to hold off with the ai sending in prop ships ( 1 ship)
to set off your electric shuttles

with this said you are able to stop this if you have no fighters left you can simple press k when the ship comes in then move the shuttles to an more appropriate location to deliver their payload. unless it just only the one ship

You can reclaim the core ships? I didn't think that was possible, as most were immune to reclamation.
