The longer you’re able to keep a bad ‘un in view, the more of your missiles you can unload on them at once. Don't get between space pirates and their loot. Shield and hull armour meters hang in front of you to either side, and as you go about the task of not blowing up you find yourself actively looking around whenever a red emergency light’s glow extends into your missile firing vision.
