Tips 'N Tricks

• fighters/drones in a bay use excess shield and hull regeneration from their parent to regenerate, if your docked fighter isn't healing it's because the parent is hurt

• Missile tracking types do matter, infrared tracks better if your ship is currently hot, Optical tracks based on a target's mass, and Radar is mitigated by radar jamming outfits.

• boarding an enemy vessel with your flagship will steal the enemie's fuel

• Crew are able to make use of one offensive stat increaser and one defensive stat increaser each and will choose the best available of what you have installed. Crew have base stats of 1 attack and 2 defense each. If your ship has Laser Rifle and Fragmentation Grenades your crewman's attack is 2.3 and defense is 2.8 because Fragmentation Grenades' attack was higher and Laser Rifle's defense was higher. Notice that Fragmentation Grenades' .3 defense was discarded because Laser Rifle's defense was better.
