Um ... I mean you could always pitch to face a ship no matter what the roll is ... it's more yaw that would matter not roll I would think. Still you could do a combo yaw and roll. Use DeltaYaw and also roll the ship simultaneously so that it's roll is right side up relative to the target and then use DeltaPitch. I wish I had ever played Elite so I could see what you're talking about because it's not making a whole lot of sense right now. Nevertheless, DeltaYaw and DeltaPitch are your friends I'm sure.
