Well, there are some tips about this in the faq, but then again, it's still in 
kind of a beta stage. My general rule of thumb is this.

1) Use the tubes running through the cylinder to hide out when needed.

2) Use the map to see where other tube entrances are in relation to the one 
you're in at the time. This make planning going from one location to the next a 
littler easier.

3) Although it is difficult you must concentrate on taking out the red beasties 
and the vulcan gunners first. Homing missles here are extremely usefull. So is 
shooting at the lava below them if they are down low.

4) While out in the arena (not in the tubes) hug close to the walls of the 
cylinder and **keep-moving**! The homing missles are smart bombs can't track 
well around walls like these. When you hear them baring down on you and you're 
near a tube hop in and jet across the center of the tunnell. They will usually 
hit the walls of the tube trying to home on you.

5) After awhile you will have most if not all of the little folks taken out. 
Then comes the big guy, and the stradegy is the same. Keep moving, hug the 
walls, use the tubes for immediate cover, and when you do launch in to him, 
make it quick and get away.

That's about all I can offer. It works, but it is time consuming so I suggest 
you bring coffee. Also, smoke-em if you got em' :-)
