Haha, not sure who repped this not knowing what "alpha-stirke" and "blockers" are, but I'll explain!
An alpha-strike is an all-out first strike in which you try to deal overwhelming damage and eliminate as many enemies as early as possible. Usually it's a one-time thing at the start of the game and you lack longer-term sustainable damage.
A blocker is a lower pilot skill ship that's used to move into the path of a higher pilot skill enemy. They will bump your ship and lose their actions, usually setting them up for deadly shots from your other ships.
