Keep It Moving
One of the best things you can do while in combat with anything is to keep it moving. Standing still or flying in a straight line will only make you a much easier target when facing off against opponents in No Man’s Sky. Animals will charge at you, Sentinels will surround you, and enemy ships will make sure to keep you in their sights, so don’t make their jobs any simpler.
When on foot, jump around a lot and try to keep to your enemy’s side. Not many attacks cover a wide area, so if you stay to the side you can usually avoid all damage. Of course, this is harder to do when fighting a group, but pick one target at a time. In the air, just always try to get behind or beside your enemy. Behind is the easiest to manage with a quick loop and a few turns. It will also ensure that the enemy stays in your crosshairs.
