Tactical Advice
- Whether they're flying with Dralthi or J'ratheks, target the Shok'lar last. See General Principles, p. 30, for an explanation of this tactic.
- When's the best time to use your Leeches? That depends on your personal fighting style. If you have more trouble with Shok'lar than with Jrathek, use the leech on the second wave to take out the Jrathek quick and give you more room to concentrate on the Shock'lar (don't even bother to try to hit the Shok'lar with a Leech). If you're more worried about the Jrathek than Shok'lar, save the Leeches for the last wave, to try for a quick kill before the enemy can gang up on your (probably battered) fighter.
- Your Wraith mounts enough dumbfires to fire one at every ship you see on this entire mission. If you can make your dumbfires count, you have a good chance at a quick, decisive victory. If you waste your dumbfires, or never get around to using them at all, you're looking at a long, exhausting and punishing series of dogfights.
