Tactics[]
Selective Phasing is a useful ability many overlook. More advanced players easily make good use of this ability in order to avoid weapons fire, or to retrieve additional scouting data without making the Jikarta vulnurable. At its second level, Selective Phasing is great for monitoring stars because the star resupplies antimatter faster than the ability drains it.
When using Selective Phasing though, make sure to turn autocast off, else the frigate's automatic use of the ability will drain antimatter and may eventually kill it.
