I've heard that this is some sort of "cheap" manuver, but what, exactly, is it? I probably have used it sometime, I just don't know what the name is specifically referring to.

It refers to attacking computers. In EV the AI was not intelligent enough to turn around when you pumeled them. im sure you have started the same speed as say a confed cruiser chasing ou then drifted at the same speed as it was going while pumeling it with fire. you can theorticly kill abything slower than you this way (except the alien.) Im sure you have used it before, but dont worry we all do.

If you have an afterburner, you can beat ships of any speed, really.
You get going fairly fast in one direction, and slow down and speed up so as to get the enemy on your screen, travelling behind you in chase. Turn around, and - without firing thrusters - shoot at him. Momentum will carry your shots to him, but he cannot shoot you without it trailing off behind him. Works great. It is taken from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which Arthur and his men often yell, "run away! run away!" That has got to be the best movie ever made.

Remember that you are a unique individual - just like everybody else.
Yeah, whenever my sheilds get way down, which only happens against the confed fleets with two cruisers and a frigate, I use it.
It is the best movie ever, no doubt. Anyone who hasn't seen it isn't sane...

That is exactly the way I play - kinda cheap though. I captured a Kestrel in a corvette that way, although I figured it out while playing EVO. It is about the only way to beat the dreadnought, but this is an EV site. Never knew it was called "Monty Python" though (It is a great movie 
)

Circling is an easier way to beat the Voinian Dreadnought, IIRC from the ages past when I fought it.

Yes, okay, I know exactly what you're talking about, I use that quite a bit. Thanks for enlightening me.

to beat the alien cruiser the best thing to do, that ive found, is just sit right behind it, and fly over it when its turned to much, its beam cant hit you that way, just fly behind it and unloud with turrets, let your escorts handle the fighters.

No it's not, you just need a ship that turns quickly and has an afterburner. I've done it in an arada and a helian, you just have to make sure you avoid the heavier fire and let the UE destroyers do the hard work.
