*Target lock enemies by holding down the Control key and left-clicking on the overview. Holding Control down also has the advantage of locking the overview sorting display in its current order - new targets will appear at the bottom, existing targets no longer on grid will be greyed out.

*A 'point' is a warp jammer. Pointing means activating a warp scrambler or disruptor on a target. A one-point or long-point is a warp disruptor. A ~~two-point or~~ short-point or scram is a warp scrambler. In small gangs, it is usually a good idea to call points on voice comms. However, in the Uni, you should not do so unless instructed by your FC.

*Set your default orbiting distance to 7500m. You can do this when undocked, select an object in the overview that is nearby, and the right-click the Orbit button in the 'Selected Item' window. Having a default orbit of 7.5 km will keep you out of most smartbomb range, but within Stasis Web and Warp Disruptor range. If you know that the target has no smartbombs, you can approach to orbit close and increase your angular velocity to be harder to hit. Only battleships and larger ships fit smartbombs usually. If the enemy is in a battlecruiser or smaller ship, feel free to orbit closer. Some faction smartbombs have a range greater than 7.5 km but they are expensive and usually only fitted on capital ships.
