Crazy...
Learn to use the AI a little more interactively (I don't know if you do or don't).
The AI SUCK when ordered to;
"Form on My Wing" (=Suicide)
"Cover Me"
"Protect Target"
"Disable Target"
"Disarm Target"
"Destroy subsystem on target"
"Destroy Target"
By Suck I mean - they don't defend themselves as well as they would.
Easy ways around this, is to order them to your objective with protect target, then tell them to engage.
Set them up well in terms of weapons know what you're doing in the mission and have them in ships they work better in (AI work best in Eri for obvious reasons).
Other effective methods, is to let the AI Bomb.
This was something BD and I worked out works well online, in missions like Rebel's Bluff and the mission with the Sathy in.
ALL the AI in Ursas, loaded up with a pure bombing loadout, whilst me/him or us goes in the heaviest fighter available and just pwn fighters.
We come out with all caps dead + 100 odd kills, because the AI are specialised on a task it means you can ignore that task and do other stuff, but the AI can only do, simple, stupid taskes - like bombing, which takes no skill.
You, on the other hand are needed to do the high skill jobs, like interception and general combat superiority.
