Combat Manoeuvers
- The Sykastic Swerve: Aldabert Sykastin, the Supreme Savant of the Lavean Academy's School of Strategic Studies, developed a method of swirling or looping with continual changes of velocity, thus making it almost impossible for the enemy to hit him as he was closing with them.
- The Wrogers Writhe: Wrogers, the renowned reptilian Elite pilot from the antipodes of Riarribi, perfected the technique of performing a corkscrew approach to the enemy using Witchfuel Injectors (thus ensuring that their laser blasts miss) until behind them, then spinning on a coin (at greatly reduced speed) and turning and strafing them. Initial missile fire could be easily ECM'd as they would be firing their missiles facing away from Wrogers, giving him more time to react.
- Head for the Sun: It blinds your enemies in the same way that it blinds you. But if they are behind you (and you have a rear-mounted laser) ... (an Oolite strategem).
- The Stellar Bake: If outnumbered, head for the sun (keeping the enemy close by). Enter the corona until your temperature hits the red line, then turn 180 degrees and engage your witch-fuel injectors. They will probably bake to death.
