Re: 7 tips for the Escape From Hoth map!

It's actually meant in part as a humorous heads-up to newcomers, who, by reading it, should realize how things are supposed to be done. I hope it works smile .

There's one you missed on the EFH map - If you're a gunner on a Gallofree which is flying above the Destroyer, because there's just no room left below with all the spawn-raping ships , and there's no TIEs to shoot at, then concentrate your fire on one of the Destroyer's shield generator globes.  It's bound to explode eventually.

Ah, yes, that. Shoot at the domes to down the ship's shields, at which point TY2, camping off-map, will obliterate the ship smile . Or not.

#6 is actually true, sadly, except of course it's an intended feature, not a bug. Perhaps spawn times for fighters and bombers should be increased?

4. The Ace way to get behind an enemy fighter is the Loop of Infinity - this consists of pitching at close quarters, while your enemy does the same. Eventually you're bound to overtake him.

Love this one.  I was involved in a space battle the other day, on a server with 50+ players, which contained dozens of simultaneous Loops of Infinity mainly centred around the SD.  You just picked a loop, waited for an opening, and jumped right in. Or alternatively just blast away at the loops, trying a little harder to kill a baddie than hitting one of your own.

sometimes you get sucked into a loop. what really is annoying is when y-wings start doing loops and you are the gunner

I actually fired off 12 torps at a globe once to see if it'd do anything.
