I just bought this game. It seems like it should be pretty fun. But I can't figure out tactical combat. I've started four games now, at the difficulty level called "Tutorial." I seem to have the mechanics down pretty well. But every time I enter into combat for the first time, I am utterly destroyed. Its not just that I lose--I can't figure out how to even damage the enemy. In each case, enemy lasers were destroying my ships in one shot, while mine were doing zero--literally zero--damage to them. In the last game I played I finally managed to do 2 damage to one ship. This was from my hitting it with one or two missiles. And that was it. I got 2 damage in on him, he destroyed my entire fleet.
This last battle I described was against a single Antarean Raider. My fleet consisted in two jaguars, three mirages, and a few other little ships.
I don't know if I'm missing something in the GUI or if I'm missing something in the gameplay. Any hints would be great!
