    Zen and the Art of Missile Evasion

    Just getting back into Prophecy/Special Ops. Playing on "Nightmare" setting, i find i run out of flares/chaff/decoys/whatever you wanna call them fairly fast as the aliens spit missiles like they're going out of fashion. in a nimble ship w/ a rapid fire gun (dust cannons kick a$$!) you can...
