I finally tested this game and it seems right up my alley but ugh, I do_not understand combat. I'm at the part in the tutorial where you meet that IP-467 or something, a drone and it keeps running away because it's faster and it takes forever to kill it, what is one supposed to do? I tried all 3 combat styles and with one of them he actually managed to kill him and this is on Easy. :(

I don't remember if you're all alone in that system for the tutorial but you could try enlisting the help of other ships nearby.

Edit: I should point out... as the last bit of the tutorial you'll be given the option to take on a ground-based mission (like an RTS). If memory serves, if you do NOT take on this tutorial mission then you will not be offered those RTS ground missions during the game. Like, ever. If you want to have them in the rest of the game then be certain to do the RTS tutorial. Think of the tutorial mission as an on/off switch for the RTS portion for the rest of the game.
