So this is a really noob question. I just bought the Star Wolves collection on Steam, and I've tried playing all three games. In all three games I find myself just getting devastated by pirates within the first 2-3 missions. Even if I beat one wave of them, they will just keep coming and keep focusing on my primary mothership until it explodes.
I must be missing something, I've never played a game that is so hard right at the beginning! Can someone give me some pointers? I can accept that I suck at this game, so I don't need to hear that, but can some friendly people tell me how to get started? Is this one of those games where you immediately defit your ship, sell everything, and use the money to buy something more powerful? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
