ok, this appeared in Beta a while back, and now its nice to see its returned. The BEST way a enemy ship has of loosing you in combat........circle around you over and over again till either 1) you get bored and fly off 2) you get dizzy and fly off or 3) you spend a hour shooting at it till you blow its engines out 
now this bug was fixed it beta yet it returned?...anyone else had this happen?
i'm begining to feel like a little fish being circled by big ugly sharks

i'v had this yes and its not hard to counter it: chop ur throttle to 0as they turn by u for a head 2 head then immediately pump it back up to full again as they pass. work on the timing and everytime u can get it so they'll be flying straight in front of you or close enough to being straight such that you can easily take them out.

Try using some tactical flying. I normally get in behindmy target and destroy it within five to fifteen seconds. While I am doing this the enemy is circling but I lead my shots into him. Also, don't waste all your energy in your capacitor firing blindly. As you empty it out the damage you do goes down to almost nothing.
