Do you have the Sniper Rifle still? If you don't, then I'd recommend restarting the mission because it will make your life significantly easier when dealing with the Elites with Energy Swords. I know you start to run out of Sniper Rifle ammo before you enter the ship, but I can't remember if you find more ammo right outside the ship or when you enter the ship...at any rate, just make sure to carry the Sniper Rifle along (if you don't have it already).
I'm trying to remember what my secondary weapon was...I think it was the Plasma Pistol. I found it to be significantly useful against the Elites with Energy Swords, as well. I'd imagine that the Needler would be another good weapon to use, too.
Also, like someone has already pointed out, enter one of the doors that the Covenant trigger to open when the waves come flying in. You will have way more cover and won't be as susceptible to fire. These doors do not open on their own, if I remember correctly.
Grenades also help a lot, too. I can't remember if there are any Frag Grenades on board, but you can score a significant amount of Plasma Grenades from fallen Covenant.
There is also Active Camo in the room you first enter on the ship, but I might suggest saving it for the pair of Hunters that come after you defeat all of the waves of Covenant. I'm pretty sure you get a checkpoint before you have to face the Hunters, though.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey!
