Combat in SEV

[Suicide Junkie]

I can defeat superior forces in tactical combat by outmaneuvering them and outsmarting them.

That's only because you aren't playing against other humans...

Meat >> AI

I know how hard it is to give up the control (I was a tactical combat junkie for three or four years!).
But I can assure you that once you get the hang of things you can do quite a lot.
One of the hard things to learn is that you need to adjust your ship designs to fit the strategies almost as much as the strategies to fit the design. When it all comes together, though, it is amazing.

Amazing x300 ships, and x5000 fighters
