The battles do not always start you facing away from enemy. At least here.

They are *hard*. You have to learn techniques for each enemy. That's part of the fun!

A tip for beginners, fill Fwippo's ship with crew, run away from the enemy and drop the auto-seeking missiles. That will give you a fighting chance as a beginner.

Flandry, I have a UQM stuck in the N900 update queue. Can you push a new version without the broken joystick dependency?
