Strategies

This page contains a list of strategies for use in-game.

Ship-to-Ship Combat

 * When you are in combat with a ship you are familiar with, try to get out of the turrets line of sights. For example when fighting a Stormbringer you would want to go underneath it has no turrets underneath it and the turrets on top can't hit you
 * Always keep moving as fast as you can when fighting as it lowers the chance of an enemy hitting you.
 * Make sure to use your spinal weapons (f and g guns) during combat for a huge damage bonus
 * When using spinals make sure the bottom of the cursor is facing the top of the ship, if the target is moving sideways, remember to lead the target by aiming in front of them and estimating where the spinals will hit.
 * Use your q, e, c, and z thrusts to move in a path making aiming and maneuverability easier. Best used for dogfights. If your looking to get big hits in dogfights don't always fly like a complete maniac, try lowering your throttle to get more hits.

Base Destruction

 * The most common method of destroying an enemy base is to siege it with a group of Dreadnoughts.
 * Alternatively, a fighter swarm on the base also works, but will take longer due to the comparatively low damage output of fighters.
 * You can use carriers to fighter swarm and the fighters or a swift ship (like the Viper) can be used to distract base lasers
 * It is always best to bring a PVP Vessel (like the Grievion) or two to get rid of the wretched fighters.
