He just needs to know how to turn his point defenses to auto fire, his flying wasn't all that terrible against the fighter/bomber wing. flying straight into the lasher was a bit of a dumb move but that was hilarious and i had never seen a draw before.

he forgot to turn his shields back on after that missile barrage hit him and he got his systems back online... going without shields at hull 10% no good...  :D
and bashing that shuttle... just because its called an shuttle does not make it bad... ^^ luv that little beast  ::)

You might love it but have you killed anything bigger than a hound in it?

The shuttle is very good. I killed a few destroyers and carriers with it in my first playthrough, and stuck to it for a pretty long time. You have long range weapons and are pretty fast, so blowing up larger, slower ships is actually not that hard. You probably will not get a cruiser because those have enough flux reduction to never have a problem, but destroyers a pretty easy. Just shoot them at max range with the IR lasers, have shields up, vent flux after a missile barrage hit your shields and back up a bit, continue until the destroyer is dead.

Atleast the video was funny. And hopefully this will bring the sales up a bit.
