Fighting in Normal Space
Most ships are mounted with two turrets, one fore and one aft, each firing a very large laser. Each turret has about a 230 gradiant field of fire, so targets to the side of the ship can be fired upon by both turrets. To aim a turret, enter the lock command or press the lock button after selecting a target from the list of ships within range.
If a successful lock is made you may fire your lasers by pressing the Fire button. After firing the lasers must go through a recharge phase. Indicated next to the fire button and only appears when a ship is locked. You may fire before the recharge is complete to fire a less powerful shot. This is useful for making the kill shot.
