Congrats on completing part four of this eight-part course. The fifth scenario focuses on defensive tactics. Knowing when to take evasive measures and deploy either decoys or noise countermeasures is essential to your survival. That’s why the aggressors in this exercise will be armed with missiles. Ensure your countermeasures are fully stocked and then go to <EM4>a location</EM4> to start. As a bonus, successful completion of the scenario will net the original contractor holder an award of <EM4>the reward MG Scrip</EM4>. TRICKS OF THE TRADE: - Ready to Launch - Easy access to your decoys and countermeasures can be critical in your success in dealing with incoming missile fire. - Stand and Fight - Resist the temptation to hit the afterburner to escape as you’ll increase your signature and make it easier for the missile to hit you. They’re almost certainly much faster than you anyway. - Close the Gap – While it may seem counterintuitive, getting closer to an enemy ship can be an advantage. Missiles have a minimum range and if you’re inside of it they won’t be able to get a lock on you.
