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. >Second, how do I maneuver AROUND them...it seems like I can never get my Mech >out of their line of fire before I get cut to shreds...just moving my shields >around isn't helping, since they'll often have a pair of Mechs flanking you. > 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.
