Tachyon: The Fringe

The Solaris Torpedo drains power from the ship to increase the strength of its warhead. The longer you hold the trigger before releasing, the more power it gets, however the more drain it will put on the engines and shields. Because it is unguided, it is difficult to use in fast and close dogfights. However it is powerful when used against larger ships and capital ship subsystems.

In mission 54 in Sol (Investigate Mine Field), you can get Star Patrol to attack you. Make sure you have a fast ship and Tesla EMP missiles on it before you start this mission. After destroying all the mines, the pirates will appear. Disable Styx 1 with the Tesla EMP missle, and wait for Star Patrol. You may want to disable another pirate just in case. When Star Patrol arrives, target Enforcer 1 and disable it. Wait for all the non-disabled enemy ships to be destroyed. Note: Star Patrol will not attack the disabled ships. Then, shoot at Enforcer 1 until its hull is at 10 to 20 percent. Soon, the other Enforcers will turn on you. Your fast ship should be able to outrun the missiles that are shot at you, as long as you use afterburners. An alternate way to survive is to enable the quickening code. You also may need to enable the come get some code to do this trick.
