How do you make your tackler spiral in to tackle instead of flying straight towards the target?

1. position camera so your ship covers up enemy ship
2. double click in space halfway to the edge of monitor
3. go to 1 and repeat until in range

Use the tactical overlay to plot a course in your head, follow that course by double-clicking in space.
