Enemy Crafts:
Darket (light fighter)
----------------------
The Darket is very easy to kill. When attacking a group of them, you may be able
to destroy one or more on your first attack run; in a faster craft, lure them
into a turning battle. Flying at about 300kps should allow you to turn harder
than him and hit him with deflection shots. His shields are weak and should fail
quickly. In a heavy fighter, fly slowly and lure him into a chicken run.
Dralthi 4 (medium fighter)
--------------------------
The Dralthi is even easier to destroy. Most craft, with the exception of the
longbow, should have no problem tailing it, due to its slow rate of turn.
However, light fighters such as the Arrow should beware of its rear gun.
Paktahn (bomber)
----------------
Difficult to destroy. This is faster that you might expect and extremely well
armed. However, it is remarkably easy to tail, and its rear gun is not as
effective as that of the Vaktoh.
Strakha (stealth fighter)
-------------------------
Quite hard to destroy. Although the craft itself is not particularly good, its
cloaking device renders it almost impossible to tail. The best way to destroy it
is simply to wait until it un-cloaks itself in front of your ship, which it
often does. Remember, you can hit the Strakha while it's cloaked, and the flash
from its shields should reveal where it is.
Sorthak (heavy fighter)
-----------------------
Very hard to destroy. The Sorthak is not encountered until later on in the game,
and, when you see it, it is usually attacking capital ships. Even so, it can be
a deadly opponent. To avoid its heavy firepower, attack at high speed and from a
variety of angles.
Asteroid fighter (heavy fighter)
--------------------------------
Fast, well armed, and very difficult to destroy. When fighting one, make sure
that the wingman is attacking your target. Fortunately, its shields are fairly
weak.
Tanker
------
Destroy its weak spots before pulling round behind it for the kill. Flying
inside the ship is too dangerous by far.
Corvette
--------
Well armed and armoured. If possible, torpedo it; otherwise, fire a few missiles
and concentrate on the weakened area of its shields.
Larger Ships
------------
Larger ships, such as cruisers and carriers, can survive a direct torpedo hit.
Should this occur, simply concentrate all your fire on the damaged area.
