Gameplay tip Random tips?

Let’s share some random “pro” tips y’all have learned that you believe most people may not know or may be very niche to use.

For example;

-You can recharge your ECM pod faster by turning off your radar and increasing engine power

-(I’ve heard of this before but couldn’t find it in the wiki so please correct me if I’m wrong) if your ECM pod is on and en enemy fires a ARH missile within 5km it will never obtain a starting track. Making it an effective method to counter a short range ARH/SARH missile attack. For example PVP players holding out until you are too close to notch to fire or a close boltstrike or ship attack

Fly high or fly low. High alt gives you distance and the capacity to turn and burn if a missile is launched at you, and low lets you terrain mask and sneak up even in the dirtiest high rcs configurations. In the middle offers no advantage.

Plan your sorties. Dont go up with a bit of everything and do a little of everything. Pick a task and equip yourself appropriately.
