Strategy

 * When sieging, avoid solo sieging.
 * Any starbase with kinetic weaponry will cause you problems.
 * When brawling, accelerate to top speed and outmaneuver your adversary.
 * Attack from an angle to the side. This catches your target off guard and reduces the number of threats that can fire.
 * Other capital ships are a large threat if you're damaged, avoid ships like the Ridgebreaker and the Apocalypse.
 * Anything below Cruiser class will be able to take you down, don't take chances with fleets of light ships.
 * Focus on taking down capital ships from a distance. If you're discovered, use your speed to your advantage, and buy yourself some time to escape.
