If you spend lots of scrap on repairs, something is going wrong. First goal always has to be to avoid damage. Always have enough shields to soak up any shots. Take out their weapons quickly.

I don't mind losing when I've screwed up, but don't just decide it's time for me to lose. :evil: If you play more and get better at the game, you will learn to deal with these situations, provided you always realise an...
