Mainly tried to follow the path closer - I'd get lost destroying things and lose time re-orienting myself so I concentrated on the path. I never did get real far ahead - so much to destroy. I was more liberal with the Belligar thing too - didn't charge in to a distant, lucrative target - attacked a moderately good target nearby instead. Probably got another two shots in, that way. Any way, the red zeppelin was down to about 10% when it went into crash mode so it was still close. I won't rule out luck until the next test.
