Tactical Advice
- Turn as soon as you finish an attack run, but don't turn directly towards the enemy. Instead, turn in a random direction and let yourself run for a few moments along your new vector. Frequent, random direction changes make it harder for the enemy to line up more than one ship against you when you're outnumbered.
- Likewise, don't try to tail the enemy as long as you're outnumbered, even if he gives you an opening. If you tail the enemy, his wingman will start to tail you, and you can't afford to let him get behind you even for a moment.
- There's no short cut in the third wave. There's only one enemy, and he's slower than you, so try to get on his tail. You can fire more shots in a burst than the Jrathek, and with your lower-powered guns you'll need to make every shot count.
- One maneuver that takes practice, but that's well worth the effort, is to tap your afterburners lightly at the end of your attack run and avoid collision with the enemy with the afterburner slide. This allows you to take full advantage if you're faster than he is.
