Experimental Anti-Kawangi Tactics

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...
