* During ~~Encounter Missions - Take~~ advantage of the fact you can centre your view over the enemy and look from behind them. double clicking in the direction they are travelling in is now easy as your view is locked on the enemy. Repeatedly clicking in the direction he is travelling will constantly change your direction to match his, minimising the angular velocity and increasing your chances of good hits ~~at ranges closer than u previously thought were impossible~~. (Works best with large/medium guns against large/medium rats)

* ~~when~~ buying ammo make sure you look ~~the information~~(~~attributes~~) ~~its possible that~~ you ~~can be buying the wrong~~ ammo ~~for your needs. look at the bonuses to range in particular~~.

* When buying ammo make sure you look at its attributes to check its range bonuses and damage type(s), until you learn which ammo does what.

* Learn manual piloting. Double click in space to fly. The orbit AI is very ~~easily~~ exploitable and you can close on/get away from a faster ship using the AI~~. Not to mention, gun transversal tricks~~.

Interceptors -

'''Interceptors''':

* Fly t1 frigates for a few months before you step into an interceptor hull. Once you fly a t1 frigate well, you should be able to fly an interceptor well.

* Fly tech 1 frigates for a few months before you step into an interceptor hull. Once you fly a tech 1 frigate well, you should be able to fly an interceptor well.

* There are two kinds of interceptor: tackling and dogfighting. Tackling ceptors should always be speed fit and should try to stay out of heavy neut range. They have bonuses to ~~disrupt~~ range. Dogfighting interceptors should focus on tank and damage output before tackle.

* if you ~~get warriors on your ass~~, don't freak out. ~~you~~ can ~~handle those~~ for a while before you need to get out. Neuts and scrams, however, can ruin your day.

* If you are attacked by Warriors (the fast-moving Minmatar light drone), don't freak out. You can survive them for a while before you need to get out. Neuts and scrams, however, can ruin your day.

* ~~never EVER~~ directly approach anything. Always approach at an angle, otherwise you will die. You should be manually piloting a lot of the time anyway.
