In Elite all NPC's roll first to an angle that places thier target in place so all they have to do is pitch up or down to get them in line to shoot at. They never roll along all axis its always roll first then pitch up or down.

What im trying to work out is the roll angle required to roll the ship so they are on the pitching line.
