The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Forming a tactical duo in Fleet Battles creates genuine co-reliance, though the absence of local split-screen means you need separate hardware or an active co-pilot setup to share the cockpit.
Skills this builds
- Coordinating complementary flight roles like pairing a bomber with an interceptor escort
- Calling out radar pings and hull integrity warnings from the co-pilot seat
- Debriefing loadout synergies and component choices in the hangar between sorties
Try this together
When attacking a Star Destroyer, designate one person to call out enemy missile locks while the other focuses entirely on aiming at the shield generators.
