Too expensive to be truly effective. Most people can't handle a fleet or two of cubes with proper screening elements. Why go for a jack hammer when a simple hand one will do?

Also sometimes its nice to shower people with little ships, people get scared when they see a large fleet on the minimap and they panic  |

Definatly. And if that panic causes them to mess up and suffer damage or disproportional losses...hehe, oh well.

Yes, but the focus IS to win. ANd if you're going to win, then you should shoot for the best win possible. Personally, if I lead men and women into combat and I dont' get them out of it alive, then I consider it a failure, no matter what happens.

i always find it good to starve them out, i was pl;aying on the tournament map, i took y four moons, then i oved down and took the tri moon and built up a nice defence of platforms outpost and a space dock along with 10 defiants, i had plentey of ships guardingf the two wormholes (ostly nebs sovies defiants and monsoons) and i used the ships ai (was playing human) to get his fleets that was guarding he worm holes to my advantage, the defiants guarding his moon i got them to fly in and attack a single turret, all the ships turned tail and left the wor holes ungraured redey for my over kill of ships to come in.
the moral of the story even when playing humans the ai of the ships will always be dumb.

Noxter tactic
While playing the Noxter (which can be played in Instant action without crashes as long as you are the only one playing them) i have found one very long-term but nigh-on unstoppable tactic which i affectionatly call "the Termite manuver".
It has five simple steps:
1) take all the moons you can, hold them while you build up resources and research weapon and speed upgrades at the motherbrain. An optional extra is the Broddling upgrade.
2) Have your breeder(s) build larva, lots of them (i would recommend at least 4 breeders to speed up production, you can make them all build at once by selecting them all and pressing F1).
3) As resources allow, evolve those larva into Ursiliks. If you have allies, ask if they can spare any cash to speed things up. You aiming for at least 3 groups of the critters.
4) Pick a big structure in the middle of the enemy base (like a starbase), then order all the Ursiliks to attack it all at once. If there's any turrets nearby, split targets between the fleets. Make sure you set all autonomy to high.
5) Sit back, laugh and listen to your opponent screaming as his entire base is eaten alive. The speed upgrade mean the Ursilik's all get into range quickly, the weapon upgrade means they chew stuff up in seconds, and the sheer number of them mean your enemy has little hope of defeating you without obsurd losses. Meanwhile, the fact all AI is high means that you don't really need to command them, and can coordinate support or flanking manuvers elsewhere.
NOTE: Xeno-vetinary experts recommend feeding all participating Ursilik's indigestion tablets ASAP upon completion of phase 5. A strict dieting programe of 1 scout ship a week and rigurous exercise is also recommended for a month.
