Lasers, PEEEEEEEEW! Massive Lasers, small lasers, explosions! Yay
Then you get hit by a small anti-fighter laser and your ship spins out of control, you've seen this happen to other ships and they normally blow up soon after! Sometimes you get hit by another one, then another and your died, but if your lucky you might dodge them and live to fight on, heavily damaged.
As a bomber you'll head to your target, flank shacking your ship with lasers skiming by, you get close and release your bombs, pull up and scrape along the ship, the flak is close now and you need to burn thruster yourself away to surive, only to turn around and head back into the fray.
I really loved playing this game!
