combat isn't like freelancer where you have total control and its basically an fps in space...you do target other ships and turn your weapons on and let them do their thing, but you have to manage what youre using and when, power and shields, counter your opponents moves, and constanly watch your distances in space depending on your spec
im focused on missles so i have to stay at distance to be really effective...if youre turrets or close in weapons im sure the battles are a bit more intense
