Starfighter 3000 Hints: ------ Upgrades: --------- It is better to upgrade the ship one step at a time with the crystals rather than getting a Megaship from a parachute. The Megaship lasts a short amount of time, but crystal-based upgrades are permanent. Surface-to-air missiles: ------------------------ SAMs have a limited altitude range and will blow up if they fly too high. If a group of SAMs are heading in, climb at full speed, wait for them to blow up and return for another attack run. Deploying an ECM as a SAM is being launched will cause detonation and will damage or destroy the SAM site. Loop and strafe: ---------------- To destroy building without having to execute a strafing run, fly up to the target and begin looping. While looping, fire your lasers as the building becomes a target until it is destroyed.
