#Spamming - Not to be confused with simply using missiles. Spamming involves emptying most of the ammo from a missile tube at one target. This is another frowned upon tactic in PvP. Not only is it very annoying, but when facing an experienced pilot it is very ineffective as well. The best use of missiles is through careful aim and timing your shots correctly. | |||

Netting involves shooting multiple rockets in SLIGHTLY different directions giving your target less escape routes. I emphasize slightly because if done with too much variation, not only will your rockets most likely miss, but you'll make a large target of yourself as well.

Tips On How To Control Your Distance To The Target
About Fighting With Or Without Flight-Assist Turned On
It is somewhat easier to land shots with FA turned on. It is easier to dodge with FA turned off.
Does Anyone Fight With Mouselook On?
I think not, but I'll fix this if I hear of it (and why), or they can feel free to.
I always fight with mouselook on. I use a mouse-keyboard setup and I find it incredibly helpful to always be looking at my target whether my ship is facing him or not.
