Constantly adjust your aim. This way, you get a maximum firing rate. Adjust your camera to suit your fortress. Ballistic weapons are best viewed from a high vantage point that just barely covers the weapon's max range. Flat shooting weapons benefit from a horizon view that lets you send shots beyond your firing arcs. Use mines off the back of your ship for a protection during retreat.Use the macro assignment (CTRL-1-9) to group weapons and make special units easily selectable. By cycling through your macros, you can separately aim weapons on the left and right sides of your fort.... very effective with weapons that have a long recharge time (e.g. Doom Cannon). If you're too slow but can't add thrusters, try removing some less vital structures and reducing your fort's footprint. Given the same engines, a smaller fort will be faster than a larger one. Damage affects all units efficiency (energy cost) and effectiveness (action rate), so be sure to repair whenever possible. In a pinch, use CTRL-A to select all units and then 'R' to repair If your unit selection gets confused, just hit ESC to de-select all. Once you've seen an enemy, you can select their entry (denoted by their fort's name) to get a compass tick mark showing their position relative to yours. Try building asymmetric forts. Take a look at the custom fort Sidewinder... To use it effectively, rotate and lock your camera to align with the weapon arcs. Then use your radar to navigate. This way, you always present a strafing target that fouls the enemy's aim. While a focused strategy and lots of battle experience will win most battles, a true master has to be able to change strategies on the fly. If your fort design is susceptible to your opponent's style, retreat and redesign. Many multiplayer levels have Floatstone deposits that can give you the added resources to turn the battle in your favor. |
