Cloakshape Fighters may be slow, but they're no pushovers. Their firepower more than makes up for their slow speed, and their pincer attack can be devastating. The best tactic in that situation is to switch targets as soon as you see laser fire emanating from behind, and stay defensive, firing off shots when the opportunity arises. Shielded craft may find themselves needing to transfer laser energy to shields just to stay alive long enough to kill your bogey in sights.
