: Is there an effective way to flight and shoot in Descent ?
: I always get blasted when surrounded by more than one robots,

Well, as you mentioned, sliding is one tactic.
Another, is to anticipate an ambush.
peek into the room, or intersections before fully exposing yourself.
Work from your point of entry with missles on the "hard to kill" bots, 
and then go in and blast the little guys away with lazer.
If you have an exspecially aggressive bot chasing you, a backwards 
retreat with lazers flaring will work. (this is also a good Dmatch tactic)

In large rooms, sliding is best. But knowing a safe exit is even better 
when those homers start to lock on you <G>
