My best run on Space Pilot so far: under seven minutes, only two lives lost (the second through foolishly chasing a parachute I should have left alone). The reason this is so much faster than my previous completion is that I've learned to take advantage of the "wrapping" properties of space to hunt down the last plane of each convoy, which is where most of the time can be lost. Of course, using the "wrapping" to approach the bosses (except the first) from a safe distance is also essential.

Also of interest is that I finish with my lowest completion score so far, under 40,000. This is one game where getting a lower score may be considered better, since it's a sign of how quickly you completed the game without chasing extraneous targets, and (as I explained in my previous Space Pilot video) having gone through the levels once, it's perfectly easy to get as high a score as you like before dying.
