Now, many of us like to use gunships and patrol corvettes against fighters... sometimes against starships and/or structures.
Here's the deal - do NOT place them so near each other. They'll actually detect a friendly in its sight and will NOT fire.
What it means is that - you'll fire a lot lesser than you could have by reasonably spreading your forces apart.
So - here's the tip - don't congregate UNC Gunships and NSAU Patrol Corvettes - you'll only stand to lose out.
Have a nice weekend ahead!!
