But the head-on-head tactic works every time, but don't try it when your front armor is low or gone. A manta or devil ray will frag you in a sec.

Okay, here's one for the Tigershark.
Switch to your charging mass drives
Start Charging immediately.
Quickly taunt as many bugs as you can to get them coming after you.
Target the nearest bugship.
Go head to head. Just as (or just before if you can time it right) he comes into range, let fly. Keep flying straight. Start charging again.
Turn slightly just before his shots hit you. He cops a fully charged mass driver and goes boom. You get nothing.
If you're good, and the bugs are reasonably well spaced, you can get a heap of them in a hurry like this. Of course, it only works against lighter ships like Morays, Mantas (or anything Kilrathi) which can be taken down by a single shot. Against heavier targets, you're probably better off saving your power until you pull in behind.
