Outrun Missiles/Torps
Sick of getting killed by little renegade missiles or torps? You can simply escape them by doing these things: When you are being targeted try to dodge by waiting right before they get a solid lock tone on you then break really hard, or when the missile gets launched hit "/" and then hit"*" and turn it so you can see the direction of the missile and wait for it to come to you. When it's about .50 clicks from impact on you break really hard or bank off then reverse throttle and come to a dead stop. The missile or torp should sail right over you. But beware they will chase you for a while, so when you get away from it, come around and get on it's tail. Then you can target it with "I" and get a laser or missile/torp lock on the missile itself, then blast it to bits before it can come around for another pass. If you are going after something extremely important like a capital ship stay on it and pump everything into either shields or engines. If you rever!
t to engines then you better make sure you can get in close enough that the capital ship will blast it or you can move in and bank at the last second and let the capital ship take the hit.
Note:This is much easier in a rebel ship because of maneuverability.
