If you use the mouse for aiming, that might make it easier. I forget the toggle/key to turn that on.

Aim-ship-to-mouse (by default, holding shift) does help - then you only need to remember that strafe controls are reversed.

And yes, I did struggle with this for quite a while; it does get better with practice, though.

I don't understand this thread. If your flagship is high tech then just turn back around, if it's low tech then you never turned around to begin with.
