Close Encounters

1) When intercepting a ufo, try to launch from the base closest to the ufo`s
intended target ( if you can suss this out by watching the ufo`s flight path
for a minute or two).

2) Tail chasing is the best way to lose a target ( not to mention wasting
time and fuel), so try to intercept from the front or from the side rather
from the behind.

3) If a ufo lands on the darkside of the earth, Yo might find it better to
patrol nearby and wait for daylight  and a slightly  easier mission.
Needless to say, If the ufo takes off before this accurs, you will need to
react  quickly or lose the craft.
