Tactical Operations Briefing: Basic Tactics
Beam Weapons
This briefing discusses the beam weapons available on Imperial
craft.
Tractor Beam
The tractor beam whenlocked on a target ship renders it incapable
of maneuvering. Useful when combined with missiles to stop your
target from evading them.
Decoy Beam
The preferred beam weapon in nearly all circumstances, the Decoy
beam renders you invisible to enemy sensors. When engaged it will
break the missile lock of opposing fighters. Ocasionally try turning
the beam weapon on for a second or two and many times enemy craft
will stop targeting you. This is especially useful when you are
engaging bombers and you need to avoid the escorts.
Jamming Beam
The Jamming Beam disables an enemy ships weapons. Useful in head-on
passes so you can fire while your opponent cannot and to stop an
attack run on a ship you are protecting.
