The secret? Easy: lure them one by one to my Boreas armed with couple of Ion Cannons, and rest Plasma Beam Cannons ( rest is only relevant for missiles, and fighters ), the M6 and the fighters i took out personaly ( hit&run ).
Sure, turbo booster is installed, otherwise i couldn´t get away fast enough from a super massive salvos, but that´s the part with "run". The most funny thing was watching the Ion Cannons ( only 5 of them in the front main turret ), completly take any Xenon capital out of juice within seconds! Thats all you need.
Don´t know about you guys, but that "pacifistic" weapon seems to be the most danagerous one in the game

I should also say that i´m using Cronos´ adv. fight scripts, so it is actually possible that your M2 holds position while bombarding enemies, instead of turning around like a snake, ehm fighter.
P.S: Because of that last succesfull test of mine above i plaid for softening the Ion Cannon effect - it´s allmighty right now, IMO.
