Tactical Advice

• In the first wave take out the Jrathek first, to nullify his IR missiles. If he does get a missile locked to you, try to shoot it down in flight. The worst thing that can happen to you here is for the Jrathek to get a missile lock on you from your flank.

• The Jrathek's FF missiles don't need a lock to target you, but they do less damage than an IR and are slower. If you can evade the FF on the first pass, it probably won't have enough juice to come around for a second. Furthermore, at full shields your Phantom can take an FF hit with nothing lost but shield energy. An IR hit, on the other hand, will be able to punc through your shields and do physical damage.

• In the final wave the only thing to remember is to keep dodging at random. The Dralthi are only a serious threat if you allow them to gang up on you.
