What strategies would you give to players fighting an Idris or Javelin?
Richard Tyrer · Lead Designer, Vehicle Experience Team

So I'd say bring your friends and take out as much of the turrets as possible to open up gaps, and then make sure you've brought other friends with you that have some size nine torpedoes, and they can exploit those gaps. And good luck.

Luke Pressley · Lead Designer, Star Citizen Live team

My advice: I'd say use up the ship's countermeasures with cheap missiles. That is a tactic we've seen. Fire all your cheap missiles off at it. This is the thing about this game. For designers, it's a real headache, but for players it's quite interesting. They do have finite everything. So they will run out of ballistics, and that might end up looking like a bug, but actually now it's real. It's realistic. So they will run out of countermeasures if you fire enough cheap missiles at them, and then just save your size nines for later when they've stopped popping those.

Yeah, I was going to echo the exact same thing, but try and stay on the rear of the Idris and not get near that railgun.

Luke Pressley · Lead Designer, Star Citizen Live team

Or take the railgun off.

Robbie Elms · Senior Designer, AI Feature Team

Yeah, take it off.
