Mission Critical Hints
How can I defeat the enemy with the Hype system?
1 of 3: I found that the computer's suggestions on tactics in the training section were generally pretty good. I don't think I can expand on them all that much.
2 of 3: It helps to decrease speed when your drones start getting hit (although combat is painfully slow if you have speed down all the time). That way, you have plenty of time to react to what's going on.
3 of 3: More importantly, lower the difficulty level if you're having trouble. Even if you turn difficulty down all the way (to computer control), a bit of manual intervention -- primarily telling drones when to retreat to the Lexington for repair -- may be necessary.
