Yeah really, man, c'mon. There's a lot to DO out there. Some of those things in your list, AT.. I go out and do those in some fashion. At least some of them!

Have you not figured out that you can ambush ships, blow them up, and then fly over their components and pick them up? Then you take your arse over to a spacedock, get them repaired for like, peanuts, and then SELL them! For GOBBS of cash! Then after time you go out and get a bigger, nastier ship.

And by the way, I was taking on two Cruisers at a time back when I had a lil old Destroyer. My favorite thing about the Destroyer was the quickness, I miss that in my big clunky Carrier.

P.S. Yeah, I figured out how powerful DUCs are too, and the Amonkrie Cruisers are a real pain. Fighting two or three normal cruisers in a destroyer is no problem, but fighting just one with DUCs is real tough. Is there any reason to go for anything other than DUCs in this game?

Tachyon cannons dude, especially early in the game. They skip shields! Two of those on the front, keep yourself behind your target and WHACK WHACK WHACK. Put torpedos or CSM's on your side mounts and steer back and forth just enough to get your target into the firing arcs.

WEEEEEeeeeeeeee!
