The walkthrough for the old demo [when it was IG3] went like this: gang up on an enemy ship by using shield-draining weapons, then switch to missiles once its shields are depleted. You can also send in bombers, but they're easily mopped up by Phalanx turrets, so those need to be taken out first if you want your bombers to stay intact. The subsystem list on top of the screen lets you choose which devices you want your ships to attack. // Xan, Ph.D. // I worship His Shadow.
