An effective front in aetherspace is hugely dependent on the ability to quickly get ships to an aetherbubble. The algontherine whistle is a popular artefact among aetherspace aficionados. The whistle can be blown at a dock which will summon an aethership from anywhere. In order to prevent this, a pilot may seal the dock, which will also prevent other ships from landing. The ship which is sealing the dock must then be destroyed or forced to flee the location before any other ships may reach the aetherbubble.

The further tactics involve in the ship to ship battles vary widely depending on the situation, both immediately, and in the overall effort to claim. Whether it is worth the risk to fight and continue a bombardment in progress in the hopes of bringing it to conclusion, or else flee to avoid implosion, are all dependant on what happens in the moment - as is the case with any fight.

Those who are on the aetherspace crew will often have a bird's eye view of the situation on the ground, and are frequently responsible for relaying information, aided by the skills in Aethercraft for communication. Alerting allies of incoming enemies, and other pertinent information, as well as issuing warnings of impending bombardment strikes are all very important.
