Only registed users and moderators can edit a message. Also, your strategy is what I consider the third cheapest abuse of the EV/EV:O AI 😄

My strategy's based mostly on speed -- either keep strafing them, for the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard2.html#voinian")slow-firing and slow-moving Voinian ships(/url), the circling around and firing for most other warships, and fighters aren't too difficult -- just afterburner out to the edge of the system, and the fighters will usually come out to you individually or in small groups, no big deal with phase turrets (against most ships) or blaze or Emalgha (against Voinians).

Well, the obvious strategy is to avoid getting hit. Promotes longeivity :).

What I actually do depends on two things: what I'm flying, and what they're flying.
If I'm in a fighter (which is the usual, just look at my username) the idea is to dodge their secondaries and then move in and circle.

If, on the other hand, I'm flying a warship, I can usually flatten them in close range. If the enemy is a tougher but slower warship, I use the tactic described above.

(P.S., yes, this is my first post. But don't call me a newbie: I've been reading these boards for months.)

No no! Monty Python involves running away, this tactic is remaining equidistant to the target, and is used on really fast enemies.

i thought that was the monty python, gettin urself up to the same speed as the target ship and staying equidistance away and firing at them while u remain untouched.

anyways... one tactic i like to use in conjunction with the monty python (at least my definition of it) when fighting big, slow ships (like the dreadnought) is using the caps lock. basically u get urself traveling at the same speed as the ship and then hit the caps. watch closely to make sure they dont gain on u or start to fall back. when u need to readjust ur speed just take off the caps and make the necessary adjustments, then turn it on again. this can save u ton of time if, lets say ur in an arada goin up against the dreadnought. be warned tho, if ur not paying attention u can loss ur ship in the blink of an eye.

PS: in regard to one of the previous posts: the A key aligns? lol, ive owned evo for like 3 years and i didnt learn that til today. neato!

A side-effect of increasing or decreasing game speed is what weapons the AI will use.
