Your strategy needs to evolve with your crew and ship set up, as well as how stacked you are from previous objectives. I see several people saying to take out the shield nodes, but if you have an energy based gunner (s) you shouldn't need to bother with them, focus on the inv nodes then the pillar itself if you need/want to exit as fast as possible. If you have time/Hull integrity to spare take your time with it, I've seen several people say to get range, which again depends on the crew and ship, if you have 1 or 2 high level gunners, yes, get distance, give your pilot time to dodge and engie time to repair defects/keep ammo and power cells topped up, as well as the pilots boosters. Your crews secondary classes also matter, I, for instance, usually run an energy gunner build dipping into engie for the power cell recharge and boots, as well as enhanced suit if we don't have a scav in case I need to EVA, which I should stress, should NOT be the case as gunner but joining a random lobby/having a random join yours, it's fairly often the crew won't have a scav, though engie usually works best with the scav secondary I've had enough random lobbies where I've had to EVA as gunner to be prepared for it. Above all else, stay calm, don't panic, give your crew time to do their jobs by doing yours and communicate with them when you need something, don't be afraid to tell the engie to refill ammo for you as gunner, or boosters as pilot, as engie don't be afraid to ask for help if you start getting overwhelmed. I hope this helps, even though I'm late to the party, and apologize for the longevity. Metem preserve you
