Ambush: In PvP against Klingons, getting ambushed is very common. Haven't found a way out of it beyond randomly using Charged Particle Busts in the hope of catching them sneaking up...BTW, besides myself, I haven't seen anyone use this skill.

I haven't survived one yet. Heavy Cannons on rapid fire just shred shields. Two ships hitting the same target...may as well have no shields at all. I've tried hitting Evasive Maneuvers. Although I get the speed and turn bump, a BoP or Raptor at a distance can easily keep their nose on the target.

The plan is always to turn into the attackers and zip over their top or bottom. Climbing or diving brings all phasers to bear as well as a broad side. Staying above or below does prevent him from brining his nose to bear while firing away on him. Getting there is the problem. At a distance, there isn't enough speed to get me there before I am crushed. Engineer team I, Science Team I, Shield Batteries, Emergency Power to Shields...just not having much luck.

The only thing I have found that provides a safe, out of range distance before coming into the fight is to hit evasive maneuvers followed by engine battery. That definitely provides speed in a hurry. I've put as much as 15K between myself and my attacker in a matter of seconds.

Help!
