It is nuts! I don't know how anyone has ever beaten it on Crazy or higher, especially in the later game before you get the Excalibur.
I'm talking specifically around where you have to escort the Behemoth--well, the mission right before it dies. That vile sweep around the pulsar. Okay, most of the mission is doable... but waypoitn 2 with 10 - 12 Dralthi... Impossible. You can beat them... but to do so you'll use up almost all your afterburner.
Why? Well, they ALL fire missiles at you at one time, over and over again. Dralthi are satan on Crazy. 5 - 10 of them will kill you quickly and ruin your ship for the rest of a mission.
Any tips? I find it just too easy on Ace but Crazy is multiple steps above it just due to the Dralthi. All the other ships are fine--the Darkets are a bitch but they can be dealt with... swarms of missiles though over and over... they give me a headache.
