	* '''The Ahrumian Arrest''': When you’re close to an enemy of comparable speed and both are circling around each other at high speed. The best way to break out of this is to slow down; the enemy will end up further away from you, and becomes easier to aim at (because his movements have a smaller arc distance from your perspective). [[User:Ahruman\|Adalbert Ahrumias]] was an early Supreme Savant at the Lave Academy, a couple of generations ago.		* '''The Ahrumian Arrest''': When you’re close to an enemy of comparable speed and both are circling around each other at high speed.

	* '''Dybal's Defensive Barrel Roll''': Commodore [[User:Dybal\|Dybal]] perfected an over-ride mechanism for his [[Astrogation Console]] allowing an attacked pilot to relax once the lasers start overheating and the shields are being depleted. To evade enemy lasers, roll & pitch simultaneously, which makes the ship spiral. Commodore Dybal's [[Barrel Roll]] equipment allows automatic performance of this manoeuver. Commander [[User:Hiran\|Hiran]] recommends installing [[Auto-ECM]] to enable automatic obliteration of inimical incoming missiles which might inhibit enjoyment of a gin & tonic/decent cup of broken Orange Pekoe tea.		* '''Dybal's Defensive Barrel Roll''': Commodore [[User:Dybal\|Dybal]] perfected an over-ride mechanism for his [[Astrogation Console]] allowing an attacked pilot to relax once the lasers start overheating and the shields are being depleted.

		+	* '''Interstellar Barrel Roll''': This is a hyperspace jump executed while barrel rolling. It forces a misjump that lets you end up in interstellar space. Only an option if meeting thargoids is better than facing your current threat.

 * '''Manfred's Manoeuver''': The sun blinds your enemies in the same way that it blinds you. But if they are behind you (and you have a rear-mounted laser) ...
 * '''The Stellar Bake''': If outnumbered, head for the sun (keeping the enemy close by). Enter the corona until your temperature hits the red line, then turn 180 degrees and engage your witch-fuel injectors. They will probably bake to death.

-* Have a break / '''Barrel Roll''': If you see your laser overheating or your shields going low, let your ship have a break. Others are still attacking? To evade their lasers (or make it difficult aiming at you) press the roll and back buttons of your choice continuously, which will make your ship spiral. The [[Barrel Roll]] equipment will allow you to perform this manoeuvre automatically. While doing so, get rid of incoming missiles via [[ECM]]. You may want to have an [[Auto-ECM]] installed.

-* '''The Barkanion Bounce''': ''Barkanioth Sidereas'', the Supreme Savant of the Lavean Academy's School of Strategic Studies, developed a method of swirling or looping with continual changes of velocity, thus making it almost impossible for the enemy to hit him as he was closing with them.

-* '''The Wrogers Writhe''': ''Wrogers'', the renowned reptilian Elite pilot from the antipodes of [[Sector3/Riarribi|Riarribi]], perfected the technique of performing a corkscrew approach to the enemy using Witchfuel Injectors (thus ensuring that their laser blasts miss) until behind them, then spinning on a coin (at greatly reduced speed) and turning and strafing them. Initial missile fire could be easily ECM'd as they would be firing their missiles facing away from Wrogers, giving him more time to react.
