Cadet PRS Stealth Fighter Defence

Introduction

In this section we would be taking a look at how to use your stealth fighter for defensive purposes if the stealth fighter was design with defence in mind. what ever other starting ship you have lt ints, fighters or just scouts, it would be better to use them for defence rather than your stealth craft.

Secure the Sector

If no enemy is in the sector then it is relativly secure, make sure it stays that way.

Camping an Aleph

Camping alephs is a very common and highly effective strategy in Allegiance. Aleps are the keypoints the enemy can't avoid, when he wants to get to your miners or pushes a constructor to a sector. The key to building a camp in time is, that you see the enemy coming. Probes are your friends. Still there are situations, when it is obvious, that the enemy has to come from this aleph, even if you can't see him coming (i.e. mining next to one of his sectors). So trust the veteran players and the commander, when they ask for a camp. The best case scenario is, that you have a proxscout with you. That makes camping really easy, as the enemy has to slow down to avoid damage, which makes him a sitting duck. Even if there is no mines, you have an advantage, as you can start shooting at him immediatelly, as the enemy still orientates in the sector he just entered. If there is no mines enemy fighters and interceptors can easily boost behind the camp. So position yourself on the side of the aleph to be able to follow them without having to turn 180° first. If you are camping for fragile ships like stealthfighters, position yourself in the middle looking at the aleph, as you can kill them before they have the chance to pass by. This way they will fly straight towards you, what makes it very easy to aim.

Defending constructors

There are two places you can be when protecting your constructor, situation depending. One of them is in the sector your con is going to build, camping an enemy aleph or base. The other place you can be is next to your con and nans.

Constructor en route

This is when the con is still flying to its destination.

• Attack any enemy scout you see, do not let them hide.
• Protect any nans you have, anything tries to attack them you should be on it like bears to honey.

Constructor at the rock

This is when the con is linning up to fly into the rock.

• Attack any attackers, kil them before they can ram your con.
• Protect your nans, they will be repairing the con and dropping prox.

Defending miners

There are two places you can be when protecting your miner, situation depending. One of them is at the enemy aleph camping it. The other place you can be is next to your miner and nans.

Miner at the rock

This is when a miner is happily sucking he3 from a rock.

• Practice your aim and annihilate your enemies without (much) fear of getting podded.
• Stay with the miner don't wander off but keep your distance!

Miner en route

This is when a miner is moving from sector to sector.

• Don't get too close, if you get too close to the miner its AI thinks you're trying to ram it and it will travel painfully slow to avoid the collision. So keep a safe distance of 800 to 1000m away from the miner and just chill out.
