* A useful tip with the '''Archeon''' is to approach it at a 45-degree angle from below the base. This will allow you to usually fire upon the base, destroying most of its [[Hull]] quickly, without taking damage yourself. Caution is advised when using this tactic, as it does not always work. Again, it is best used if you have a fleet with you in the same location. | * A useful tip with the '''Archeon''' is to approach it at a 45-degree angle from below the base.
