Unless you are the NI and all your weapons are to either your starboard
or port sides and then fly like Oerjan around the room, then you pull a
circular type situation in which you maintain a high speed vs the enemy
and keep them in either your port or starboard quarter. Noam can prolly
explain this better than I (since he's used it before - remember that
night, Noam? :-P ;-). Now, yes, you are effectively running away, but
if your opponent gives chase, they eat whatever you dish.

Of course the NI's little Stealth Tech helps maintain the distance.  ;-)
