A few things, i'm sure they've probably been mentioned before:

Never engine kill too long. The longer you drift in the negative speeds, the more vulrnerable you are to being fired upon by an opponent turning faster than you. I'm sure this is much more the case if you are pvp'ing a WA1 or an eagle if your in a slower turning ship. You shouldn't really need to drift into negatives especially if you are brawling.

Carefully timing the thrusters as well can provide you with a good boost to counter your position. Minute taps of the thruster can help you edge round during dogfights, giving you the aim where others can't.

When at close range and circling opponents, try and swing missiles off of your wings, as well as just firing them straight at your opponents. If you predict the right angles, you can take advantage of the momentum gained and take out opponents without even seeing them. Undercutting opponents angles with torps can also aid this position.

and when you have a dual torp ship , anubis mk2, gladiator, etc. dont use 2 of one type of torp, use 1 sunslayer and 1 starkiller, this lets you fire 240 torpedoes instead of just 120 :P
