If you have to run like hell.....

Sometimes you just are outgunned and you have to make a run for it to a nearby tradelane or base. If you do so you mostly can't use you're cruise engines because the enemy's fire missiles at them, so the only thing you can do is thuster,use a turret to fire backwards,dump some mines and hope you're shield holds.

BUT.....................!!!!

If you use you're thusters and press engine kill you can turn around and fire at the enemy's chaching you. Ur ship will turn around but the heading will stay the same so you are going backwards at a truster speed of +-298 and have all guns facing the enemy's. Works pretty good.

That should be helpful.

Depends on the enemy, so careful which you fire at while pulling that manoeuvre. As lane hackers and Corsairs WILL still follow if you fire on them. Best to turn and coast until your 2km from then run!
