    Speeders will tend to hunt down other speeders because they’re better able to intercept them.

    In a lot of games I will go off on my own, and try to flank the unfriends, or look for stragglers that I can kill. But if I see multiple speeders on the other team, then I find it’s best to stick close to my teammates, until I know where all the unfriends are.

    In this game you’re off to the side on your own. It’s little wonder they targeted you.

    Keep yourself out of vision as much as possible. When the speeders go in, surprise them with a deadly combo.

    It happens to me too. I think it’s because you take damage early in the game, even if it’s just 10% then people are much more likely to focus on you, and even signal their team to shoot at you too.

    Sometimes that’s good if you have lots of space to zoom about, and make them all miss. But if I find if it’s getting too hot, I’ll run away and hide for 10-15 seconds, until everyone loses interest, then I’ll sneak back out and try to do some damage while their attention is elsewhere. People get tunnel vision a lot in this game. While they’re focused on you they won’t relent, but if you disappear for a bit, they’ll move on to someone else, and then they’ll be too focused on them to notice you sneaking back out and shooting them from the flank.

    Funnily, I often seem to play much better when I’m only 1 hit away from death. Perhaps it’s because I know I’m spent, so I just try to be extra sneaky, and steal one more shot before I’m killed. One shot leads to another, and sometimes I’ll end up surviving the game and getting multiple ‘last stand’ awards.

    I always aim for speeders first. They’re more likely to nitro into mines or a bad situation than any other ship so any quick shot helps take them down unlike the other ships where you have to focus fire for a longer amount of time.

    I always try to take at least one shot at a speeder if they are in my range no matter which ship I'm playing at the time.

    They shoot you because you're an easy kill, you take even one hit and you're under 2000 health. People see a player under 2k health and target them because their easy to finish off. (as well as what the others said above)

    Because speeders are the first to be discovered usually

    Also theyre annoying to slower ships and if you take them out early its a huge advantage
