[VIDEO] Ion Storm Hive Skirmish on Mobile
Droid Buttons make all the difference! This video shows touches to help you track what I'm doing better, but the steering gets lost/hard to convey because I use accelerometer controls.

Nice video. Do you have any tips on combat using andriod? I can't even beat 3 Dentek collectors without having to go back and repair.
If you haven't spent time looking through vo-wiki.com, I highly suggest it. This section in particular will really help you: http://vo-wiki.com/wiki/Bots.
The problem with android combat is the very thing that makes vendetta so fun, it's complexity. For instance, an android player will never be able to efficiently switch from a back-roll to an attack roll because we are limited to two points of contact on screen. In my droid buttons setup, the lower left touch field has a y-axis set to strafe up and down and an x-axis set to roll left or right. The small touch field that overlaps my left radar is my throttle, meaning I'd need to stop back-rolling to use the throttle. This is not an option. What I COULD do is double represent my throttle, but that seems redundant and my screen is already so full of buttons.
For simple denteks, simply begin engaging them while they're mining. They're relatively non-aggressive, move slowly, and don't change direction when fired at. I uploaded a video to show you how and I use an EC-89 with a free power cell and free blaster. A simple side strafe with flight-assist off will keep them from hitting you. Feel free to play around though! They fire so infrequently you could strafe left and right a few meters at a time and get more hours in in a shorter time frame (with a slightly higher chance of them scoring a hit on you).
