Why do I go so often second with my capital ship even though I have the same speed?

The coin flip for R8 SA is much more frustrating IMO since whoever's TM and foresight train gets going first will easily win the battle and the TM gain will push whichever SA went first's capital ship back up to and past the opposing one even if the opposing cap ship won that coin flip.
This coin flip frustration has already pushed people to R8 SA to be able to easily climb on R5-7 SA, and some in my fleet shard have even taken SA to R9, which is beyond most of my GLs, just because that coin flip can cost us both time and refreshes climbing in FA. The worst part is it's just an arms race until everyone has SA R9 at which point no one has an advantage and everyone who did will have just wasted a giant pile of relic materials.
So WAI for CG. Coin flip metas create frustration speeding which is what CG wants.
IMHO just climb with Thrawn/Syche
The coin flips don't determine the winner though - they just determine the strategy. If you're bailing after losing the SF coin flip, you're giving up wins. Losing the coin flip means the battle takes about a minute to a minute and a half longer - but it's still an easy win - if a little more frustrating.
Do you have any tips re: strategy? (Ideally one that doesn't include more relics on Sith Assassin). I'm not having any luck at all...
The key thing to focus is trying to regularly get the TM gain from taking a ship to under 100% health. That means trying to avoid putting healing immunity on the bomber when they are about to heal up either through sabotage hangars or with the Fury special. Getting dagger out early helps I find (I tried for a little while with Tax1 but didn't find it was any better) as the AoE is a useful one for triggering lots of TM gain if used at appropriate times.
