Reaver Strategy LinksEdit

• Tech Plant Advanced Offensive Strategy
  1. If the defenders have Liberators providing close air support, recruit some fighter pilots to take them out.
• Tech Plant Advanced Defensive Strategy
  1. When defending the Tech Plant, these are highly effective against incoming Galaxies and Liberators.
• Bio Lab Basic Base Strategies
  1. When defending a Bio Lab, be on the lookout for any Galaxy craft attempting to land on the air platforms and take them out.
• Bio Lab Advanced Offensive Strategies
  1. When assaulting a Bio Lab keep the air clear of enemy fighters so your Galaxy can land on the air platforms.
• Amp Station Basic Base Strategies
  1. Like other bases, use your fighter to counter enemy fights at the Amp Station and let your Galaxy land to unload troops.
• Heavy Assault Class Strategy
  1. It only takes 2 rockets from a Heavy Assault to take you out. Watch out for them!
