Light Fighter Combat Tactics

[Drake]

An idea I recent had and am going to try... In large group fights (like I'm usually involved in with my LF), most of the damage I take generally comes from random mines blowing up near me, or which I hit when I'm turning, or other such unavoidable things. And a single Nuke or Screamer mine (the most common types) drops my little LF shield easy.

So, rather than spending a large amount of batts to regen my shield before I randomly hit another mine (such as one dropped by Hobart... *cough*), I'm going to try and mount a rather weak shield instead of the best LF shield possible. The idea is, if I get hit by an explosive or razor or something which instadrops my shield anyway, I'll be able to immediately bring it back up with relatively few batts spent. Just like those annoying NPCs.

I'll let you all know how well it works out for me.
