I'm going to try and get this going. I haven't found a machine in ages.

I think I've accidentally shot the sign off before without realizing it. Good to know.

On Yavin and all other space levels, you have to hit the TIEs as soon as they come onscreen. As soon as they appear they will be in tight formation, and hitting one will usually get some damage to others nearby thus allowing you to take them down quicker. Plus you avoid their blasts this way and are able to maintain your shields for a better end bonus.

On this game, always the quicker the better. The accuracy can be saved for the on foot levels.
