(Almost) Fail-proof Elite Squadron strategy.

[Giftheck]

Here's a dose of rather-obvious strategy for Elite Squadron

You'll need Thermal Detonators or Cluster grenades for this strategy to work in Elite Squadron.

Start the map and head straight for and capture the Ion Cannon. Use it to take out the enemy cap ship's shields, then fly up there, board it, and destroy the reactor. Escape via the hangar into a ship and go into your capital ship. Man the orbital strike cannon and take down anything owned by the enemy, because the strike cannon can neutralize CPs. It is also pretty much the only weapon capable of putting the Ion cannon out of action should the enemy take it.

After this, your ground forces can pretty much do the rest while you sit pretty and safe in your cap ship.

Good Strategy but why the thermals?

I used a similar form of this strategy for the first few weeks of playing it. I also found it a good way of avoiding glitcher's who mainly hang around on the surface.

Good Strategy but why the thermals?

They take out the core real fast.
