Draft for podfighting tips

So you wanna be a Rocketeer

Listen up! Space combat isnt the most intutive thing ever, and it may feel tempting to just ram your pod into the other spacer's pod and then tear into em with your weaponry. But you can do better! And this set of tips are here to help you master the art of pod to pod combat.

As mentioned in the section on how to actually fly the blasted things, your pod respects Newton's laws. It's gonna keep going once you stop pressing down a key, unless you have on your brake. You can use this to your advantage however! Using your Sensor system, you can detect other pods and their transponders nearby. Click the pod you want to track's name to get a pointer that will show you where it is currently. Line yourself up, and then zoom on by while firing those guns and turning by tapping the key for direction you want to face once!

Mashing spacebar to fire your guns faster isnt gonna help you either spacer. Holding it down will fire your guns as soon as they dump their heat and are ready for use.

Putts are actually *slightly* faster than their pod counterparts, at the expense of less health. While that industrial pod and it's health pool might look tempting, you might be better off taking a normal civilian putt and moving faster than the other guy can catch you.
