Question 2

How do you do ‘Dodge’ micro

Answer 2

Constantly change the movement order

Question 3

How do you fire multiple tactical missiles at once

Answer 3

Select multiple launchers, then click the ‘L’ key, then left click on the map

Once you launch the first round of missiles, you will need to count 6 seconds before clicking again (or the second round of missiles won’t launch)

Question 4

How to you get your units to automatically prioritise the units you want them to prioritise

Answer 4

In game, select the units you want to command, then click the red ‘DEF’ button in the bottom left panel.

(this requires the ‘Advanced Target Priorities’ mod to be enabled)

Question 5

Can an exploding ACU damage another ACU

Answer 5

YES!

So if your going to die, try to get your explosion in range of your enemy’s ACU (or other units).

Question 6

How to you avoid Torpedo Bomber overkill

Answer 6

Manually command individual Torpedo Bombers

Question 7

What should you do if your enemy is using shield boats

Answer 7

Order your units to move inside the shield before attacking units (possibly kills some of the sheild boats if there are many)

(Sooo much firepower will be wasted on hitting the shield and your units will be dieing rapidly in the meantime)

Question 8

In what order should you target enemy ships with your Frigates to minimise damage done to you

Answer 8

1. Cruiser - IF you can reach them (especially as they will kill your Torpedo Bombers)
2. Destroyer/Frigate (Whatever’s closest)
3. Battleship

(Leaving Battleships to last is the most important takeaway! They are significantly weaker vs Frigates, especially when you factor in thier overkill against Frigates)

Question 9

How should you micro Frigates

Answer 9

1. Right-click to give a Move command to the other-side of the enemy units to ensure your Frigates move through, get very close to, and surround the enemy units (if you use an Attack command, and you have MANY units, the rear units won’t move!)
2. Once close, you can command units to target specific units

Question 10

How should you micro Destroyers

Answer 10

1. If you out-range enemy, keep distance.
2. If not, right-click to give a Move command to be close enough to utilise the Destroyers short-range torpedo, then que attacks on specific units.
