Also Nova cannon works wonders on revealed tyranids, since they naturally bunch in a single huge ball. These ships don't let their morale fall below certain threshhold, but when they are out - almost all of the remaining ships mutiny and run away and those that don't will mutiny easily after some shots. Fighting tyranids has one gimmick - you must focus on the ships that have tyranid icon next to their healtbar. When detected tyranids behave just as Orks - they speed up instantly to your ships, hurting themselves quite a lot in the process. When you do - send every detection you have everywhere even slightly suspicios. With tyranids it's worse, but you rarely fight them on the attacking side. And when you kill one - you are immidiately stealthed again, since you are in the cloud and the enemy will send another single ship closer to you. That way you only need to endure their escorts really (they will ping you all the time) but when enemy runs out - all their ships will start coming in one by one, most of the time it's quite easy to kill a single ship before others push through your shields even. 1 shot will kill light escorts and 2 shots will kill beefier escorts. If you have nova cannon that's even better - pepper them with nova shots. If you have any sort of long range detection (fighter squads or augur probe or 1-2 escort ships with their ping ability) and somewhat far-shooting ships (overlord or armageddon from IN or any AdMec ship really) it's the best strategy.
