Starship Combat question

Hey guys and gals,
I was just curious about the combat.
I have played all the Starfleet Command games and was wondering if the starship combat was like them, or is it better?

* Weapons have firing arcs..some create overlapping arcs, lending to most players either having really strong broadsides or frontal attacks depending on the ship.
* There is a very 'naval' feeling to combat, with the ships swooping towards each other. I am ashamed to say the increase in pitch/yaw did not change that despite some of my previous rants...
* You have forward,aft,port and starboard shield, but can take strength away from the others to boost one or spread them out to cover a damaged section
* You can adjust power levels to boost certain system at the expense of others. Many players will boost shields or weapons to get a slight edge in combat.
* with everything being real time, preplanning is a bigger aspect, with too many options to be trying to adjust them all mid-combat.
