Fortuna is boring.

zallard1 has a method for getting highscores which involves killing your wingmen beforehand and some charge shots on Star Wolf, but that's just not my style. If you're interested go check out his video of it, and other high scorers' stuff.

Also Fortuna is boring.

Edit: I have heard that after that cutscene where Wolf flies off saying he's won, you can shoot him down and still complete the mission successfully. Master of defusing indeed. (less info)
