** Several common tactics take advantage of the games' rudimentary and blindly aggressive AI:
*** The [[AttackPatternAlpha "Monty Python maneuver"]] (named for the "Run away!" line from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'') is a tactic for destroying pursuing ships by accelerating to top speed, and then reversing direction to fire backwards along the direction of travel (possible because ''Escape Velocity'' has inertia in spaceflight).
*** The "Not the Nine O'Clock News maneuver" is a way to penetrate a blockade during story missions that involves kiting the enemies away from the target planet, and then either doubling back or (''Nova'' only) flying to the edge of the map whereupon you cross to the opposite side.
** The "Qaanol maneuver" is a tactic devised by ''Nova'' forum member Qaanol for conquering planets. It consists of flying a Polaris Manta with no weapons or armor and maxed-out speed and agility, and involves kiting the swarms of enemy ships into an escort of Ravens or other similarly powerful ships.
** "Mass-modding" involves converting a freighter into a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship Q-ship]]. Start with freighter with decent stats like an Enterprise or Leviathan, the bigger the cargo bay the better. Buy mass expansions until you can't fit any more. You now have a smaller cargo bay and a lot more room for weapons.
