StarLancer
Hints:
——
* When dodging an attacker, use the side-strafe controls as youre turning;
this slipping motion will make you harder to hit.
* Stick close to asteroids when missiles are being launched at you; a missile
that misses its first pass will hit the asteroid and detonate rather than
circling around to reacquire you.
* Keep an eye on the energy level for your guns; some ships dont have the
energy to support full guns for very long, so either take some of the guns
offline or increase energy to your guns.
