I think, though, that general advice for new players would be helpful.
Things
like what speed ratings work best under general circumstances, going
after the
small ships first, how to effectively place salvo missiles, that sort of
thing. Nothing too specific, but just general advice that a new player
can
build on. The sort of stuff that takes half a dozen games to figure out. 

Otherwise you're right, the tactics will be determined by the situation.
