==Building a Fleet==
Unlike the other races, who have to decide on a balance between strike carriers and troopships, Shaltari are only concerned with how many Motherships they want and how many Voidgates are necessary to absorb casualties while still deploying their Gate cap every turn. The recent addition of Pungari Threshers gives you an additional option if you don't want to just use gates (but you should almost certainly still have some gates).

Another interesting advantage that the Shaltari have is that their bombardment weapons can also be used against ships. If you brought ion ships for bombardment but the mission doesn't give you any bombardment targets, you didn't really waste any points. Keep this in mind when you're building an all-comers list.
