''Angular'' is the [[Angular Velocity|angular velocity]] (movement between the attacker and the target expressed as an angle in radians per second).

Line 230:

Therefore it's wise to spiral in towards the enemy. To do this:

# Zoom in reasonably close to your ship and press C to make your camera autofollow the selected enemy (alternatively center the camera on your enemy manually so that it covers up the enemy on your screen.)

# Zoom in reasonably close to your ship and press {{button|C}} to make your camera autofollow the selected enemy (alternatively center the camera on your enemy manually so that it covers up the enemy on your screen.)

# Now double-click in space halfway between your ship and the edge of the screen (in any direction).

# Your ship will begin moving roughly towards the enemy, but not directly at them; it will also move away from its position covering the enemy ship on your screen.

Line 236:

# This should make you spiral around them, moving ever closer until you can orbit (hopefully safely).

# There is no six. (It burned straight towards the enemy with its MWD on and was one-shotted.)

# It might be a good idea to practice this on large NPC belt ~~rats~~ before trying it in PvP combat.

# It might be a good idea to practice this on large NPC [[belt rat]]s before trying it in PvP combat.

Similarly it's good not to just burn straight away from a larger enemy if you're trying to escape, though by that point in a battle you may find you're too busy to take account of your relationship to enemy tracking. To do this spiral out:

# Open the Tactic overview (which is located left to your HUD, or press CTRL + D)

# Open the Tactic overview (which is located left to your HUD, or press {{button|CTRL}} + {{button|D}})

# Make sure you have the ship selected from which you want to escape

# Zoom in reasonably close to your ship, notice the line drawn between the enemy and your ship.

# Then turn your camera by about 180° and try ~~use~~ that line to look directly away from the enemy (don't bother with matching the line perfectly)

# Then turn your camera by about 180° and try using that line to look directly away from the enemy (don't bother with matching the line perfectly)

# Now double-click in space halfway between your ship and the edge of the screen (in any direction).

# Six shan't be.
