Tactics

Tactics experience is gained every time an NPC fires one laser or missile at the player, or the player lands one critical hit with either a laser or missle against an NPC. The speed at which you gain tactics will mostly depend on the NPC's fire rate, regardless or any accuracy in landing shots against the player. Alternatively, extreme end game tactics skilling consists of maximising critical hits against NPCs, ideally using a guns with high fire rates against NPCs that are easy to hit.
