In a meeting engagement against the AI, I can ALWAYS get in the first shot. I simply keep my ships beyond the movement distance + max weapons range of the AI. Then on my turn I close the range and deliver the first salvo. This works as long as the max weapons range of the AI ships is not greater than your ship�s movement distance + your max weapons range. Works every time without fail.
