Stealth and Fleeing Are Viable Strategies
It’s easy to become overwhelmed in Galak-Z. Enemy factions have access to the same abilities A-Tak has, so you should expect sneak attacks, missile barrages, and the use of the environment against you. Even the most seasoned pilots will have trouble every now and then, so there is nothing wrong with running and living to fight another day. Remember, dying takes you back to the beginning of the season, not just the episode you’re on. So run like the wind and come back when you’re ready.
Stealth will also help you get the drop on a pack and minimize the risk of you getting swarmed. Every ship has a line of sight and a radius of hearing. Wait for them to turn away, and group up before emptying some red hot lasers into their backs. Ah, the joys of space.
