The radar can only be viewed when the viewscreen is not full-screen. Press V to see the rest of the bridge. The Enterprise is always in the center of the radar, and the colored dots are enemy ships. A good strategy is to press 7 for medium speed, follow a ship until the radar shows it one ring away from you, then slow down to speed 3. Phaser it unless it is very close or moving directly toward/away from you. Don't forget to shoot the torpedoes ahead of its path.

If Scotty said "We're off course, captain!" you didn't read the star map and should restore a game and start over. The Elasi Pirates are unbeatable, btw.
