Title: question about air combat
Post by: betatester on January 11, 2020, 02:22:14 am
Sometimes aggressive UFOs engage my ships in a fight. Is there a way to run away ? because even equipped with afterburner I haven't found a way to disengage.

There are no options. If the speed of your craft is lower than alien's one, you cannot run away.

Well, that's not completely true...

Sadly, no. I wish kamikaze was an option. :P

perhaps for very bold pilots (the ones with +100 attack speed)
