Red alert

Hi. I just wondered about space battles. Is there some way to go to red alert without waiting to be fired on?
I see other players with shields raised and weapons firing as they approach the enemy ships. Am I missing something obvious again? Thanks in advance.

    Just open fire as soon as you get in range 10K

    I personally just activate my Sensor Scan ability, it activated the shields.

    You can always click on "Brace for impact" this will put you into red alert. This BFI is level 25'ish. Cant quite remember now.

    Your shields are always up (except you go with no shields into full impulse and fly then into combat range but that's another thing) and if you haven't changed the default target / firing options your weapons automatically open fire.

    Thanks for the heads up. Good community here. I'll remember all of this and hopefully i'll be a little better in battle
