Tips and Tricks
Because the Mining Drill uses a multiattack, the asteroids in the midrow offer little protection– don’t be tricked into thinking you’re safe just because they’re in the way!
Targeting the weak wing is generally a good idea, both because of the damage increase and because of its distance from the cannons.
The Mining Drill can scale to massive attacks, but they always deal their damage one at a time, meaning ships with an Armored Bay or other armored parts, like the inactive cannons on the Ares, still take no damage.
