Tricks: Warbird: Don't fight levis, javs, lancs... Vulch them, they are an easy kill because they are slow but at full health you'll have a !@#$%^&* of a time taking one down (I use pulse laser). When Vulching: Don't shoot at the weaker person, shoot at the one that's winning, they likely won't repel as they are too greedy trying to take a kill, shooting at the weaker person will most likely just result in them repeling and you not getting a kill at all. Outlast bigger ships, their recharge tend to be a little on the slow side, while yours (especially with tokamak) is alot higher, it's not about who shoots the most, it's who can shoot the most and score hits, circle them and make them waste all their energy while shooting at them a little until you drive them into energy suicide.
