This does not look good here, uh...

A small but deadly PIRATE FRIGATE breaks off from the rest to intercept you.
This is how combat works:
You have a certain amount of lasers, and each one takes 1 turn to recharge. You can fire as many lasers you have in a turn, but then you will be defenseless the next turn. This ship has 6 lasers and a main cannon (main cannon takes 3 turns to recharge)
You can raise SHIELDS but they can only stay up for 6 turns in a row.
Enemy ships can destroy your guns if you have shields down.
