Experimental Anti-Kawangi Tactics

[nihilix]

>I< give you extra points for the brilliant destruction of a nest of galactic baddies - and for the perfumed prose!

As for Esmerelda - I suppose, if one had *somehow* captured her, then (if it's possible) traded her off for some second-rate galactic junk, and then someone were to - err, accidentally detonate a Limited Vacuum Collapser in the region where she had been traded... well, that would take care of her for good.

Or would it?

Neat anti-Kawangi tactic, as long as you can find the aethric mirror & the anti-graviton shunt in time. Alas, my luck is seldom that good.

Ugh, I hate Esmerelda, too. I usually get rid of my one-coin items immediately, but I always keep the lookout frogs or the toy robot if I find them, since either one enables you to capture Esmerelda.

I was real proud of myself a couple weeks ago - I managed to beat the waspy thing with, of all ships, a science vessel!
No funny tricks, no sidekicks, just a beam weapon, the cloaking device, the fastest combat drive, and some patience...

Ygorl was using the 'flea riding the tiger' strategy, wasn't he?

Cool , Tao - I've wanted to do that, but never had the necessary parts lined up when the phlegm came calling.

Nothing that refined... But a stupider version of that technique, yes... I'd get behind the big yellow jerk, shoot him until he was almost pointed at me, and then disappear... Reposition myself behind him, repeat, voila!

possibly the easiest way to off the yellow bastards is to use the Chromium Gong. Not really a fiendishly clever tactic but hey...
Personally, I like to use the phase cloaking device to get as close to them as I possibly can (without ramming them) and then summon the five furies.
They'll never know what hit them!
Which makes a nice change...
