(assuming we can post things here directly).

1. I'd like to remind that you can end phases early if you do good enough and waiting out the timer is optional.
2. I've noticed that is beneficial to assign one person to shut down the stations while others distract the House Mokai forces (note that this person doesn't have to be the same for all stations) granted this might be hard in PUGs so you can also use small craft for the distraction role, though cloaks won't work as well as you'll auto-decloak when you start beaming in troops, also once House Mokai forces around the station are dealt with everyone should assist with the broading of the stations if needed. Also if you might want to assign a rather high DPS player (or player with shield drain abilities) for the station shutdown duty.
3. You can (and should) heal the klingon transports once they've been disabled, this way few accidental hits or nearby warcore breaches won't kill them. Also the transports are quite fragile so I'd suggest saving big science AoE until after the transport is tractored away from the blastzone.
4. the final "boss" dreadnaught has massive HP pool so it's ideal to use as anchor for your science AoEs like gravity well since while dreadnaught itself won't be destroyed from it, since it'll stay there you're less likely to get misfires on your abilities and the warcore breaches of the lesser ships in the fleet will help to bring down the HP of the final boss.

These are the tips I can think of at the moment.

During the missile hunt static defenses like the prior world turret and Aceton Assimilator are very useful.
Pets and the Cardassian Modules also help out greatly due to their auto targeting.

Fighters on "attack" work too though there's an issue of them going after the cap ships instead of the missiles but they can work. I've not tested shuttles or frigates though, just the fighters.

Operation Riposte advanced - I was told today not to use gravity wells in the first part of the mission, because they 'reset the satellite'. I may have missed a further explanation, but I hadn't heard of that or seen anything weird during operation riposte and I use gravity wells on my science builds often.

Can anyone confirm a detrimental impact of using gravity wells in the first part of the mission?
