On the surface, the lasers are MUCH more accurate than the first Death
Star and you will take significant damage. Close your S-foils and jink
left and right hard to avoid as much as you can. When you're about to
pass the falcon open your foils and allow it to pass, then the TIEs will
come and you can blast them away. If you pass the falcon too much the
TIEs will eat the falcon alive. When the wave of TIEs is dead, close
your foils and try to avoid the lasers the best you can. After several
waves the mouth of the hole will come on the horizon -- close foils and
rush past the falcon to this entrance, ignoring any TIEs. As soon as you
reach the hole you automatically enter the second part of the level, the
dreaded, tight, claustrophobic tunnels. *shiver*
As soon as you have control, blast the TIEs in front of you and close
foils to get as close to the falcon as possible. Whenever there's a
straight away close your foils, you need to stay as close to the falcon
as you can, this seems to reduce the chances of TIEs coming up to you
and either a) killing you instantly on impact or b) bumping you and
causing you to lose control and slam into a wall or beam or pipe or
something else not so fun.
As soon as you see a TIE come shoot it immediately, if you allow it to
follow the falcon through a bunch of bends and what not then it will get
torn to shreds. If you have homing torpedoes it can help if you're
desperate. Eventually you'll reach the core and the level becomes so
much easier, mainly because there's no more TIEs. Use the targeting
computer to see what part of the core you have to shoot, then do it.
Escaping is actually fairly easy, you don't have to stay behind the
falcon, just boost past it. Don't do anything stupid like slam into the
side of a pipe and the GAME IS OVER!!! Er...or not.
