Oolite Tactics

Tactics

Life in space is not easy. It doesn't matter what your occupation is - sooner or later, someone will shoot at you (or you will shoot at someone else). Blundering headlong into a dangerous situation without preparation is a certain way to end up dead, or at the very least, as petfood in orbit around Isveve.

This section is divided into two parts: equipment and combat situations.

Usage of specific weapons and equipment

• Laser tactics - Upgrade to beam or military lasers, and don't fire until they're centered in your sights.
• Missile tactics - Upgrade to hardened missiles and multi-targeting; regular missiles are best used as chaff.
• Using weapons of mass destruction - Don't blow up GalCops by accident.

Combat and combat avoidance

• Dealing with piracy - Use your witch fuel injectors; you do have those, don't you?
• Dealing with Thargoids - Target the motherships and use your bombs after the Thargons drop.

Dogfight Tactics

• Use your high-precision gaming joystick. You do have one, don't you?
