Hello, Everyone.
We've found that a ship carrying the Nova Cannon operates best like a
WWI single-seat fighter. Don't try to hit the enemy with the cannon's
second or, worst yet, the third turn... Get close enough and smash them
with the first turn.
Firing from a range where the blast takes more that one turn to get
there simply makes the enemy break formation (great, if that's what you
want) and turn quickly out of the way.
Triangulating on your targets is harder than you would think... Plus you
have to look out for the blast from other Nova Cannon ships.
Finale note: veer off on the turn after you shoot... It's not fun
overrunning the blast template when it expands and touches your ship.
