This is another dogfighting exercise, albeit with tighter time parameters than you've experienced before. Be aware that missiles are the fastest way to take out a Kilrathi — you need to pick your shots from relatively close range, and follow up with Full Guns to make sure that the Cat doesn't momentarily escape and soak valuable time off the clock.
