Help: Space Combat? - Page 2

Although I usually love the amount of detail that goes into GURPS books, Spaceships has me really stumped. I can't figure out how to do the organize phases of battle (scanning, negotiation/fighting, retreats etc.) and I'm not sure what the many bonuses and penalties would be. They're in the book, but I'm just not sure when to use +2 for a celestial body silhouette vs +24 in deep space, and what the combat effectiveness of guns vs launchers vs lasers vs particle beams.

I'm really excited to make space combat work... but I'm lost on the how. Does anyone have a chart or some advice to clear things up?
