The 'Criado' Manoeuvre
Named after the Co-Leader of FNLS who proposed it, this manoeuvre involves the use of instant repair ships to harrass an attacking enemy of supeior power, thus slowing them down, and if succesful, even preventing them from attacking their intended target.
Simply, while an enemy is attacking you, they cant be attacking anything else.
While a valid tactic in its own right when multiple Captains combine their efforts... (see The UFUKA Hustle)
The 'Four Eye' Sweep
This tactic involves at least two captains combining their efforts to systematically hunt and destroy targets throughout multiple systems.
One Captain systematically searches for and scans potential targets, while the other uses one or more ships to perform hit and run strikes on any identified targets
This tactic is also particulary useful when at War with an alliance as it yeilds high levels of destruction in short time frames.
Multiple teams can simulatneously target separate systems to maximise the effects.
The UFUKA Hustle
The 'goto' defensive tactic which effectively protects the higher level allied ships whilst simultaneously stopping any aggressors hitting their targets and slowing them down. This tactic combines the effectiveness of the Criado Manoeuvre and the offensive power of your allies so that the 'Little' ships act as an interceptor screen allowing the 'Big' ships to engage and retreat at will.
This has the added bonus of frustrating the aggressor into chasing your little ship around the system for half an hour.
The H3RALD Manoeuvre
This manoeuvre is named after our own H3RALD, who pioneered this method of quickly returning to base in a hurry from anywhere in the Galaxy. Simply launch your vessel at the nearest unassailable target and enjoy the swift destruction of your ship and return to base of your crew.
Operation Dilithium Delve
This is the name for a great tactic to obtain Dilithium in a relatively quick manner. Pakleds are one of the best hostiles to attack for a return of Dilithium, fit your ship with the officer known as Vel and you can return around 6000 Dilithium per hour.
Operation Orange
Operation Orange, named after our own OrangePeel, is the name for the selfless act of allowing your fellow alliance members to raid your station and relieve you off an excess of resources that are likely to attract attention. This operation requires you to temporarily leave the alliance and rejoin when the operation is complete.
