==Building a Fleet==
The PHR's uniquely capable assault troopships give them the option to invest points in ground assets and decent combat output at the same time. Be prepared to plug an Orpheus into at least one of your medium slots, but also bear in mind that these assault troopships are very slow. If you rely on these for your ground game, you have to be prepared for the fact that you will be arriving at clusters after your opponent has already been dropping troops for a turn.

The PHR are "topheavy" in terms of fleet choices. Their frigates are intended to support their capital ships, many of their standard cruiser classes (and their only light cruiser) are best off picking off enemy light ships to keep them from scoring or from harming the heavy hitters. The PHR fleet's real muscle is in their heavy cruiser and battleship classes, and it's them that will be doing most of your dirty work. Buy the big guns first, then pick everything else to compliment and support your choice of flagship. 

Your battlecruiser is astoundingly fast. Never be afraid to sail it up the map with a squadron of frigates in support, then throw out linked broadsides on all sides as the enemy are just moving into position.
