the Yehat and I can't seem to get along.  Might be because of the whole civil war thing, I don't know.

I guess what I'm looking for is strategy on facing them in melee.  Which ships are the best to use and what's the right way to use them?  I like to fight head-on with whoever's attacking me, but you just can't do it with the Yehat if you expect to live long.
In my experience, the ZoqFotPik Stinger can take out Yehat Terminators (especially under computer control) in no time. Just fly at them as fast as you can and lick them twice. The Yehat won't have time to put its shields up before you hit. Of course, even if you do it right you'll probably want to warp your Stinger out and send in one with full crew to take care of the next Terminator.

Much much much more simple solution. Use the Thraddash!!!!! Or your flag ship. They won't active thier shields if it hits them in the side of the ship, or something like that.

why writing so much? in 3 steps
1.pick fwiffo
2.head to alpha centauri, save before every land, there are 3 planets with exotics so it's about 100000 RU, which will handle your cargo, jets and thrusters
3.go to alpha pavonis to get the wreck and head to the quasispace portal then go to the rainbow worlds.

Look... I understand that all that may be difficult to read for people whose first language isn't English, but check this out.

I'm willing to bet that a few of us are new to the game, as surprising as that may seem, and we don't all know where the rainbow worlds are, or where each of the Q-space portals go, or who lives in which constellations.  It's important for the new folks to know as much as they can before taking a wrong turn and ending up surrounded by Ur-Quan battle groups.

If you think YOU can hang out around Delta Crateris with one ion bolt gun, a Spathi and a human cruiser, good luck... I'll keep the posts shorter for you then.

Quite simply, details keep new folks safe.  If you don't like reading that much, just don't read it.

Details are what the Melnorme provide. At a cost, of course. Current events is all you really need to keep well informed about what's going on around you.
