“Project Sylpheed” – Tips and Tricks

With the Xbox 360 exclusive “Project Sylpheed” now available on store shelves, we must brief our pilots on how they can best defend the galaxy from the evil ADAN forces. Several simple but vital tips and tricks to keep in mind while piloting the Delta Saber include determining the firing range, understanding the arsenal, avoiding collisions, and using the afterburner and power cut technique.

Targeting enemy aircraft that are too far away is ineffective and wastes ammunition. Make it count by using the range finder to determine distances before firing. Understanding the Delta Saber’s arsenal is equally important as some multipurpose missiles are designed to target fighters, but are useless against ships. Avoiding collisions sounds simple enough, but at high speeds, pilots cannot come to a sudden stop. Practice evasive maneuvers such as side rolls or 180-degree turns to avoid careening toward a cruiser.

Using the afterburner and power cut technique are also very effective. Activate the afterburner to pull away from a swarm of enemies, and then swing around with a 180-degree turn to target them. But be warned, the afterburner will not function when shields are depleted. Change directions during a power cut and continue moving on inertia alone to point the nose of a ship toward an enemy aircraft and score multiple hits.

“Project Sylpheed” is developed by Game Arts and SETA Corporation exclusively for the Xbox 360 console, and published by Microsoft and Square Enix.
