Using the Islamic Federation ships, vector movement.  Battles
usually last 2-3 turns after we get within range, and it's
bloody.  Either I hit with lots of SMRs (in which case the enemy
usually is looking quite ill) or I miss but am out of range (in
which case I bravely run away) or I miss and am in range of
return fire ("think of it as evolution in action").

I think it would last longer if I played normal ships, and my
impression is cinematic usually lasts 6-10 turns.
