Do ships still stand still when in combat?

from Sins Forums

One of the biggest turn offs in the original game was that ships in combat would just park in space and exchange fire. It doesnt look bad for capital ships because they are massive and hard to turn around, but for small ships, too?

Those in beta, can you comment on that?

Well the new corvette ships are always moving, and any ships trying to shoot at them or fighter usually move a bit. But most ships have not changed.

That said, if you're just letting your ships sit still, you should either be A. hiding behind your defenses or B. using the Advent battle ball tactic. In almost any other situation you would do better giving your ships regular tactical orders to outmaneuver the enemy.
