Tips on taking Stardock Alfa & Earth

Finally managed to take the Earth moon "Luna" last evening. Checking out the Surival Kit on EV I find that the Confed Frigates for both the Stardock Alfa & Earth are in high numbers. I'm playing a straight game with no cheats or add-ons. (Mainly because I don't know what they are). Perhaps some of you people out there have some tips for a Newbee on how to tackle these remaining red blots in my universe.

------------------

The fastestway I know is too get 6 kestrels as escorts then go to sol. Next attack a confed ship so the kestrels release their lightnings. Then demand tribute. It took me around 21 ours to dominate but it is possible. keep at it and earth and stardock alfa will be yours

------------------
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother

That's exactly how I took Ruby, Mars & Luna. But they were only Patrol & Gunships. It will be a long hard fight for the remaining planets. Whilst I was overcoming the afore mentioned planets I left my computer on with EVC on pause returning later or the next day to finish the mission. I'm correct in doings this, Yes?

clear up your weekend first.
