SPACE COMBAT
There are times when you may come across pirates or other players that are out
to blow up your precious ship. Be advised that taxis do not have weaponry, so
you should try to run if this is happening in a public ship! However, if you
are able to attack, or fight back, here are the basics! You'll want to FACE the
other ship, then TARGET it. Targeting locks your weaponry onto them and keeps
track of their distance from you. Remember to continuously FACE the target!
When you enter within the range of your weaponry, you can begin to FIRE. Ships
have several different armaments:

LASER CANNONS Normal short-range weapon
TURBOLASERS Stronger than cannons, further range, but longer reload time
ION CANNONS Speciality weapon strong against shields, weak against hull
ROCKETS Strongest munition, but very slow
TORPEDOS Balanced munition
MISSILES Weak munition, but very fast
PULSES Disabled at this time

When firing, ensure to specify what weapon you wish to use! (EX: FIRE TURBO)
Also note that firing uses up fuel, as does recharging your shields, so always
keep a close eye upon your energy! It is not good to be stranded in space with
no way to fly, shoot, or defend yourself.
