To lock on to an enemy ship, select your target with [A] button on controller, or [E] on keyboard and keep the enemy centered on your screen. Once fully locked on, the word "Lock" will display on the targeted enemy. An enemy can break your lock by boosting, moving out of range, or maneuvering outside of your targeting systems, so make sure to keep them in your sights. (Similarly, when you are trying to evade attacks, boosting can reduce enemy accuracy, and break missile lock.) | To lock on to an enemy ship, select your target with [A] button on controller, or [E] on keyboard and keep the enemy centered on your screen.

If you have the [[Targeting Control Systems]] skill, when locked onto a ship, you can target specific systems on that ship. When you are locked onto a target you can press [X] on the controller, or [R] on the keyboard to target a ship's systems, and then use [A] and [D] on Keyboard and [LS] to select which system you want to target. | If you have the [[Targeting Control Systems]] skill, when locked onto a ship, you can target specific systems on that ship.

If you decide that you are in over your head, and would like to leave combat, you can attempt to fly away from the ships targeting you. If your ship is fast enough and can maintain enough distance between yourself and your attacker, you will leave combat and regain the ability to either land on the nearby planet or jump to a different system. | If you decide that you are in over your head, and would like to leave combat, you can attempt to fly away from the ships targeting you.

==Tips== | |||
* Keep an eye on your [[Hull]]. If your shields are reduced to zero, your Hull will begin taking damage and you will need to repair it before your ship is destroyed. | |||
* Remove power from your engines and add that power to your [[Shields]] and [[Weapons]] systems if you are in a battle. | |||
