Be sure to get the Patch that allows you to select difficulty in Career Mode!

Turn your radar on briefly to "scout" for enemies then turn it off or they will
home in on you.
I liked to find a nice sheltered spot Turn on Radar and let the Skimmers come at
me untill I killed all of them for that mission otherwise the would blast at me
while I was in trouble and I'd get killed.
For the Skimmers be sure to use auto targeting!
I used autotargeting almost always. I understand that If you have two joysticks
and rudderpedels then you can do the job by yourself but not me.
I have a Gateway computer with a programable keyboard so I redisigned
the keys to work for me.
Get used to using your "wingmen" to your advantage.

Good Luck - Feel free to e-mail me if you need more info. Perhaps I can
find some of the help file i'd seen.

Regards - Arthur - I loved this game.
