pvp

This is what I use so everyone can take a peaque and understand my way of fighting. If someone thinks I shouldn't have post it please tell me to edit it.

thanks jack. now just to put it all into practice

Pheonix problem is that you need to be adaptive. I don't have just one strategy in my locker. It depends on the situation you're in. You've gotta use your brain before everything else. What I gave Sev and you (unfourtunately [just joking]) is just a basic info.

The very Main topic imO is, find your own style. If you look around it´s much harder to beat a pilot who is using his own style than those who are adapting other styles.

I once started to remap my whole keyboard to fit it to my hands. Everytime i am changing one of the keys or making some new things i need one or two weeks to get it working for me - that might be because of my Age

I am also using a 7 key Mouse to have some easy to achieve additional keys for some stuff. I agree with Jack in some points but i would advice to fire all weapons manualy - if you have enough breath to try out and change your setup you will be successfull. On the other hand it´s even important to know how your ships and the weapons are working (where to place them for example).

Catch me ingame i´ll try to help.

Btw. most important is Training, Training, Training - and after it RP Fights is the best for getting experience.

While RP fights are the best for PvP training there's also the matter of your aim. You wouldn't last long if you can't outturn or turn at the same time with your enemy. And since Mouse Flight is the only viable option for the pilot to survive in a PvP combat it's good to learn how to aim your guns and to make sharp turns if your enemy is outta sight. But yes Daywalker is absolutely right: the best tactics don't come from copycating someone else's tactic cause they'd know them better then you do, it's more importantly to create your own style with effect. While you may be your greatest enemy you can be your greatest ally.

And keep in mind that your own style will most probably work on some ppl and won't do any good against others. For example I just can't beat Exodus, no matter how much tricks I pull out of the bag LOL.

Simba there's one or 2 tricks to beat Exodus. If you want them tell me in skype or send me a PM to tell you Although you probably won't like them.
But the main point is not to have only one style. It's to be adaptive to adapt one style to the other and if necessary throw out the whole style and start from the basics and build it up from there for diffrent opponents.

Some more useful tips

I won't like them? Geez I like everything that helps me kill Just start writing the PM :] .

Ok we'll see if I can deliver it right.

I´m waiting.

Btw. Simba you are quite near

Err not making hull damage is near?

What's AA ? And you can dent shields *Cough the hulls the problem cough ;)*

I'd wait for the time when all those missiles will disappear and the good old Guns and Cannonball + Ripper Mines time will revive... *sigh*

ps: yes this is directed to you Op

I think that's call regress: moving forward but then moving backwards... (in terms of diffrent situations too numerous to point ot like science). Give it some time when 1.8 comes out you'll probably be happy.

I'll be happy when pvp becomes decent

yes *whine*
