Long Range Galaxy
So you wanna fly? Before you take off, please spend the 3,778 Certification Points into this Galaxy load-out below BEFORE taking it into battle, or you'll be disappointed at how quickly it'll get destroyed! One of the first purchases you should make is replacing the top M20 Drake turret with an A30 Walker for better AA (anti-air) defense. You'll also want to upgrade all of your turrets (both A30 Walker and M20 Drakes) simultaneously. Spending the above Certification Points will be your primary Galaxy loadout you'll use for most situations. These upgrades will give your Galaxy more ammo and make it a bit more difficult to destroy.

Tactics
Practice flying, maneuvering, and landing your Galaxy at the VR Training Facility without having to spend any of your Resources! You'll want to master both arts of hovering and quickly/safely landing at nearby Air Vehicle Resupply Pads to repair your damaged Galaxy and resupply its ammunition. Once you feel comfortable handling a Galaxy, redeploy to the Warp Gate, spend some of your Resources on a Galaxy, and fly within the safety of your Empires' controlled territories, accelerating at full speed, decelerating, learning how to bank and turn. In other words, really take your Galaxy for a thorough test drive! Be sure to lock (default: ) your Galaxy so no one can enter it. I also find that... ...Also helps while flying.
 * 1) Open the Continent Map (default: )
 * 2) Set a Personal Waypoint (default: right mouse button) where you'd like to fly your Galaxy
 * 3) Enlarge the Mini Map (default: )
 * 4) Zoom-out the Mini Map (default: )
 * 5) Change the camera view (default: )
 * 6) Zoom-in the Mini Map (default: ) as you're approaching your destination.

In most situations, you'll want to be an Engineer with at least a level 5 Nano-Armor Kit to repair your Galaxy when it gets damaged. Also (in most situations), you'll want to lock (default: ) your Galaxy so only platoon/squad members can enter it.

Before taking your Galaxy into battle, always wait long enough for at least four more friendly Infantry units to enter and man all of the turrets, or your Galaxy will be an easy target! It also helps if you can stay behind other friendly aircraft Vehicles (Valkyries, Liberators, etc.) for protection.

You'll need to hover far above the base you're "Gal dropping" from the reach of AA (Anti-Air) Weapons, at least 500 meters.
