Tips

You do not need to destroy the target drones in Mission 2; salvaging them has no impact on rewards or progression.
To capture enemy ships, you can attempt to run them out of fuel or use a scout to kamikaze into the enemy carrier, which may freeze their strike craft (this is a bug and not always reliable).
For direct combat, research corvettes fully and use a heavy corvette wall, or employ the Calabans' battle ball tactic (a sphere of fighters guarding one).
Enemy ships will retreat when low on fuel.
Captured ships can include up to 24 fighters, 12-14 standard corvettes, and 2 missile corvettes. Capturing ships can be time-consuming, potentially taking up to an hour or more per ship to run out of fuel.
In Mission 3, use scouts on evasive to distract frigates while salvage corvettes capture them.
Ensure at least one salvage corvette successfully salvages the cryo-trays in Mission 3 to avoid game over.
Research fully and build at least 12 heavy corvettes (up to 25) for Mission 3.
Consider building 2 repair corvettes, as they become useful throughout the game.
The number of assault frigates in Mission 3 scales with your fleet size. A larger fleet can result in up to 5 frigates.
