Damn it, ive done it!

Goodbye and good riddance pico.

The tip:

(Background) Dogfights are won and lost by 1-2 extra phasers at
20-30+ range. Check your phaser review window after a df and
see how many "beats" you've missed (bearing in mind you get 1 per
second). Chances are that unless you know this (or do it without
actually realising this) you've missed a few phasers because of
trying to squeeze too many torps into the fuse on the phaser.
(Using the mouse) I never managed to get more than 4-5 torps
out before i started losing phaser "beats", but it doesnt
actually affect your fire power much losing 3 torps while you
get more phasers in and it saves a lot of fuel too. (in fact
you'll do more damage against better players since eating torps
isnt something better players do unless they are chasing you at
warp 9, you buttorper)

[Obviously this tip is aimed at newbies-midbies]
