i really wish there was an option to disable it entirely. its just sooooo awful. its almost insultingly bad. like, if they were going to make it like that...why even put it in at all? my guess...as a "feature" box to tick off.

so far if im forced into a ship combat...i simply reload the game, and its not even because im constantly being attacked by groups of 6-8 ships that i have no way of seeing...let alone fighting...or that my ship handles like a barrel going over niagara falls....no....its because it adds absolutely nothing to the experience...it isnt fun, it isnt rewarding in any way, it serves no purpose, its not exciting or interesting....it kills the mood. its a jarring and unwelcome interruption into an otherwise nice relaxing jaunt through space.

its the worst space combat i have ever seen in a game ever. and i played "space combat" on the atari 2600 in 1978. that game had more depth, strategy, and action than the ship combat in this does.
It could be better...

It kinda reminds me of Wing Commander which I enjoyed. I like seeing the pirates tumble into flaming balls of death. Anyway, upgrading your pulse drives will improve your ship handling dramatically. And one tactic to make sure the pirates are almost always in your gunsights is to just thrust backwards. Yes just go backwards until you've shot them all down.
