davepesc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Up to 7,926 For this game, I quickly blew through the first 6 or so walkers so there was only one left at the far left of the screen. Bomb hatches help a lot. Now that there is only one walker, keep killing it until the lead walker reaches about the halfway point, then start the "weaken lead walker to slow the chain" routine.

Once I destroyed all the walkers, I just waited at the left side for each new one to appear and took it out as quickly as possible, hitting bomb hatches, etc. My problem is that I'm sloppy avoiding the AT-AT's shots, I tend to kamikaze them Use the rebuilding function as a precaution when you get weakened. I think you get more than two rebuilds though per ship depending on certain conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little sloppy avoiding shots, too, but they shoot in a rhythm, so you can get a feel for cracking off 5 or 6 shots high, then moving low, shoot, move repeat. Also, you want to move slowly so that you're not constantly swooping in and pulling out (heh heh). You can't shoot if you're not facing the walker, so you want to maximize the time between repositioning your ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi there! Rats! I wish I was already done with moving! Almost no time to play... Anyway, small improvement today 2355 Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 6276 I do all of the things said above about killing the leftmost walker and then blowing them up as they come out. I just get sloppy about avoiding getting hit, especially trying to hit a bomb hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepesc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'm sure this isn't news to anyone, but remember that the screen wraps. Time and space be damned! If you keep going left, you'll come out on the right. Take the shortest route after getting blowed up. Also, I haven't had much luck attacking from the rear, as some people are trying. You are just too close to dodge shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to attack from the front, because there are two bomb hatch locations there and more of a chance of hitting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the front ports, the head can shield them. The ATAT does attack the same way, though, so I guess we can still get along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attack from the back you have to be a lot closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
