HINTS AND TIPS FOR MULTIPLAYER:

Weapon tactics compliments of ‘Solidair’:

Vauss
Vauss is a deadly weapon when aimed correctly. The Vauss is best used
when an attacker is far from you.

Napalm Cannon
My weapon of choice in a close dogfight. I like Napalm because of its ease
of aiming. Just Put the flame on the target and that's it. If you spray it on
someone just fly away and wait until it burns all the shields it will burn then
do it again. Why dogfight and take a chance on getting fraged to death when
you can hang back and let the napalm burn him out?

Frag Missile
When placed properly, Frags are a one shot kill. Fragging a tube or hall with
multiple Pyros in them can get you multiple kills. Use this but be careful for
the Frag is a double edged sword. You can kill yourself easily by Fragging the
floor or wall next to you. Use Frags only when indoors. Outdoors, Frags are
hard to get kills. They are most effective when placed next to a Pyro. You
can hit a Pyro dead on and do little damage because the shrapnel is what
does the most damage.

Homing Missile
These babies are the secondary of choice. Just fire and forget. But it wont
always find it's target. A good pilot can slide out of the way at the right
moment and waste your homer. In this case you have to fire well in front of
his slide so that the homer meets it's locked target. Look for these missiles
at all times. The more you have the better your chances of taking your target
out.

Movement/Dodging tactics compliments of ‘Solidair’

Triple-Chord
Move in three directions at once. Slide to the side, turbo forward, point your
ship up and push your hat down. You travel at a 15 degree angle with your
