Tactical Advice

• Watch out for your wingman. Don't tag him with a stray shot or -- heaven forbid -- accidentally collide with him.

• The enemy will usually engage your wingman first. Look for a chance to get on the enemy's tail while he's making an attack pass at your wingman.

• Tailing the enemy is safer than jousting with him, but it takes longer. Your call.

• If you're wondering why one of the enemies in Wave 2 is ID'd by name rathr than ship type, it's because in the Kilrathi missions, that ship would be your wingman at this level. There's nothing special, tactically, about Danthrax.
