This is quite a late reply, but you can strafe using the Q and E keys without holding Shift. Keep your mouse pointed at the enemy and use one of those keys to slide toward or away from them. Essential tactic and an Odyssey or Conquest.

It is just really hard to circle strafe a frigate, dodging fire of the ship you are attacking, while protecting your ship from other attackers. Basically impossible with very highly maneuverable ships, which turn too fast to really use the keyboard.

And you also can't have a toggle for turn to cursor sadly. Caplock doesn't work

Apparently it does on Mac, but PCs handle it differently.  Not that it is helpful, but different systems will get slightly different results.

Shield locking could be useful, but it has the potential to be annoying if you're spending more time locking/unlocking shields than actually fighting.

One thing that would be useful to me is to be able to lock the shield facing towards a specific enemy.  Useful for those times where, "Yeah, I know there's an Onslaught burn-driving my flank, but I'm busy finishing off this other maggot... Just hold on for a few more secon... $#%@^"
