Hi there.
I realize that I suck at Freespace and I'd like to get better. Finding the in-game training missions a bit thin, I was wondering: Is there some sort of training campaign that primarily teaches you actual flight techniques (maneuvers) and tactics. You know, like a "real" pilot would be put through.
Know of any?

Not training missions, but there is a way to get a bit of practise. Go to the tech room, click "mission simulator" and "single missions." At the bottom of the list you will find Terran Gauntlet, Vasudan Gauntlet, and Shivan Gauntlet. These put you up against increasingly difficult groups of enemies.

That's great advice, thanks! Still, I'd really stuff like a little more technical. You know, like actual dogfighting *techniques* and tactics. I usually just go head on, and then it's either a circling competition or a chase (if I'm lucky).
Well, I'll keep the question open for a while, but I'll certainly go for some gauntlet. Thanks. :)
Well, I guess there's nothing more to add, is there? ;)
Thanks. The Gauntlet missions help a bit, so that's something.
