• Traditional Dogfight
  This is the simplest method to engage rivals. You simply take off and start blasting things out of the sky. Dogfight splits into two different modes, Survival and Shootout. The former is as basic as any deathmatch - just aim, shoot, and hope you've caused more pilot ejections than anyone else in the sky. Survival, on the other hand, has you jetting around the skies in hopes of being the last plane in the sky.
  
  
• Base Attack
  Here you form two teams and attempt to capture your opponent's base. Since bases benefit from defense facilities and rival aces, taking them over isn't any easy task. Moreover, if your focus is simply on offense, your own base might be in danger. The goal is to define strict offensive and defensive roles for your team.
  
  
• Air Superiority
  This mode has you patrolling a stretch of sky under strict weapon limitations. The longer you stay in the air, the more points you accrue. Of course, with other hostile craft patrolling the same area, staying alive will be a matter of skill and restraint. Your flying skills will really come into play here more than in any other mode.
  
  
• Data Beacon
  Grab and bring back a beacon from an enemy base to your base. You will be divided up into two teams and a battle will ensue to capture the beacon. The team that brings back the beacons to their own base earlier than the enemy team will be the winner. Keep in mind, though, the aircraft carrying the beacon will suffer from decreased mobility. When need arises, you can eject the beacon to increase your chances of survival.
  
  
• Escort Battle
  Your basic escort mission. Only here, you're flying against real pilots. Like previous modes, players will split into two teams, one attacking and one defending. Success hinges on a pilot's ability to multitask, since you need to contend with an assortment of ground and air troops. Depending on the location of the fight, you can find yourself battling over land or see.

its hard to connect at kai due to the issue of SSID change .....hopefully kai will be able to do something bout it....or someone discover some otehr way to connect

From XLink Kai Forum

 

I found out how to do it by surfing a Japanese Site.

But our pings are 110ms-115ms to each other.

AC:X creates another SSID when the host starts the game which isn't transmitted through Kai. So the Host first has to find that SSID, give it to everybody else, rehost the game then when the game starts. Everybody has to switch their SSIDs to the new one before connections are lost and everything works like clockwork.
