Need some info on transversal speed, and the other settings that can be found in the scanner (radial is another i think). How can you use this info to score better hits or avoid getting hit?
If this has been covered in another thread, can you post link?
Thanks.

Transversal speed is your speed tangential to your distance from another craft.
Radial speed is your speed that increases or decreases the distance between you and anotehr craft.
A high transversal speed at a fairly close range will make it very difficult for anything to hit you, particularly if you're in a small ship and they are using long-range guns.

so radial speed is the "closing" speed?

As I understand it a radial is a straight line drawn between the center of a circle and the circumference, as in the lines extending outwards from the the bullseye of a dartboard. so the radial velocity is the distance along one of these lines over time, so yes - closing speed.
the name is quite confusing really, as it sounds like it should mean something else to someone who isnt au fait with the terminology.

Have a look at the uber tracking guide, it should clear things up a bit.
Just keep in mind tracking doesn't quite work as one might think; one ship orbiting another still needs guns that track well. Logic would suggests the guns remain stationary relative to the angle of the ship, but that's not how EVE works.

Also if you click on the stickied guide to turret tracking at top of this forum, you can plug in all kinds of situations. Very useful for seeing what transvesal will avoid which guns, or how fast you can orbit and still hit.
nb this is a bugbear for me seeing as in orbit you guns shouldn't have to track AT ALL! Swing round a lampost by one arm if you don't believe me.

Right, thats why news helicopters aim their cameras by turning the helicopter...

They wouldn't have to aim the camera manually once the helicopter would be in a perfect orbit around the object they are trying to film. You know, to avoid getting shot at and hit by the object in question ...

If you can't see why that analogy makes no sense whatsoever, I'm not even going to bother explaining it.

AC-130 Gunship
The guns have a tiny bit of tracking to do to egalise different distances, wind effects, height, ... but the needed tracking while orbiting a (stationary) target is laughable compared to EVE's weapon systems.
