Maeden Anthar's Kestrel notes:

• Always check what you're fighting

• If it's a skybreaker - reload into your faction ammo. And swap back to normal ammo afterwards!

• Setting orbit to 1k has worked for me, it's correct distance for all engagements.

• Some foes are pretty fast (Attacker Pacifier Disparu Troop for instance) so you might need to "pulse" the heat on your afterburner if you find yourself missing a lot (for me it was around the 7-8k point where it happens). I've found that one pulse keeps me in range long enough to kill whatever it is.

• Blast/ember/spark/strike NEEDLE are fine. But if you ever see a LANCE you need to focus that one first, potentially with a lot of heat.

• Speaking of heat, Devoted Hunter is another one where you will be heating a ton

• In my opinion for this fit, on those scary DPS rooms (Needles, Hunters mainly) you should be using heat no later then at half shield

Chris Halsky's notes:

• Probably the safest of our fits, but requires a bit more flying skills to be effective.

• Tank holds well against everything. Stagger your reps (offset them by half cycle) and forget that anything can kill you

• For easy (lazy) method - Orbit at 2500m, shoot with Multifrequency

• To be more effective - utilize the fact that enemies approach you directly, which improves your tracking - manually moving away from enemies makes you hit better, especially Tessellas

• You can safely approach Cache during a run, which will improve your times - make sure that enemies are still in range, and switch ammo if necessary

Chris Halsky's notes:

Below fit is... fun :) It uses Autocannons and low-range, high-DPS ammo. Your general strategy is to get close, web the enemy, and shoot it. Double reps, for double repping power, but still some utilities in medium slots and DPS modules in low slots.

• Keep your Afterburner and Shield Booster always on, switch Armor Repairer as needed

• Orbit at 500m works against most enemies, except Tesselas - orbit them at 5km

• Most enemies are easy, but some will try to run away - watch out for Abyss Wall

• Web enemies as soon as possible - you can watch when they pass 10km circle in Tactical Overlay

• Devoted Hunter - usual killer of T0 ships - requires both reppers running, and your tank will hold. Orbit him at 500m and you'll be good
