I've noticed that the artificial intelligence in EV always makes passes when attacking other ships. I like to circle, kills them quicker and makes it harder for them to hit you with their missiles and torps. And they also fire all their torps and missiles right away. I'm weird, I never use secondary weapons that require ammo...it saves money, but greatly rescricts my firepower potential. Oh well, back to dominating planets in my Rebel Cruiser...
