I'm not sure I get it (Gaming)

I like a lot of the game in theory, but it's just not clicking, to the point where Im wondering if Im missing something?

The market appeals to me, but Im finding the interface is really inconvenient. Is there an easy way to compare market prices? Or do I just have to leave the station, head to the map and scroll between stations?

Broadside combat makes me smile, but seems awfully fiddly. Small, nippy ships can navigate in an extra dimension, so I have to rely largely on turrets, while larger ships tank my shots like they're nothing. (I spent a solid three minutes wailing on a missile corvette with my broadsides, and managed to deal zero damage. Is there a mechanic I'm oblivious to that I should be taking advantage of?)

Navigation feels awfully clunky in my "maneuverable" Hammerhead, but that might just be me not adjusting to it yet.

I really want to like it, but I just feel like I'm blundering from one objective to the next. Can anyone offer me some advice?
