Excidian tactics generally call for using FTL to close the gap and initiate fighting at 50,000 kilometers with warships, and as close as possible for fighters. Of course, fighters have no FTL and the Carriers cannot be risked moving so close, so Carriers usually stay at least a light second away.
Of course, these tactics are not really viable with the current Coalition forces. Their space units were woefully unprepared for such an easy destruction of the battlestations, which were the key to the planet's defense.
