Pilot's Lounge
"It is time to go now."
"Thanks again..."
"Oh, I'll still be around."
"Indeed."
Archon stepped on to the shuttle which would take him to the M/FRG Phoenix.
Someone stepped in as Archon went off.
"Wait, if you're here, who is flying the ship?"
"Oh, don't worry, we've got Auto-Pilot."
Meanwhile, someone slowly moved towards the flight controls.
The "Auto-Pilot" was fully inflated and shifting the controls as needed.
The man raised a concealed dagger, and stabbed the "Auto-Pilot".
The ship rocked, and Khadgar quickly ran to the helm of the Grey Wolf and took over the controls.
"You get the feeling someone doesn't like us," Khadgar mused.
"First those fighters, now this!"
Letters from the Cardinal...
This week, my assistant and I will demonstrate classic strategies to help you improve your Multiplayer game in X-Wing vs TIE Fighter.
I will start out this week with the classic strategy used during the game's early days.
By that, I mean I will be running to my opponent's computer, and attempting to disable his joystick.
My opponent will be countering by attempting to keep his joystick plugged in, and at the same time, destroying my unpiloted craft for easy points.
*X-Wing vs TIE Fighter match starts up.*
*Cardinal runs for the opponent's joystick, unplugs it despite fierce resistance, and throws it aside.*
*Cardinal then runs back to his computer.*
Now, you'll note that if you are able to complete this strategy, your opponent will be left floating aimlessly in space, making for an easy point...
*Cardinal plugs the joystick trigger, vaporizing the enemy fighter.*
