Had a good time fighting with SeeJay and Starbuck today. It took both of them working together to kill me, but I can't fault them for that;)
Not sure how many kills everyone got, but it was fun regardless of scores;) I'm still trying out new ship/weapon combos, but I think I am getting much closer to a really good PvP combo. More testing required.
Well played guys. I look forward to the next encounter:)
I Met [HB]Mecingo Tonight in the USS. Asked him if He Would Go a Few Rounds PvP to Help Me Test Out a Couple WEAPS Combo's that had been "Killing REDS DEAD" EXTREMELY Well. MEC Oblidged. Iwas in My SHRIKE, MEC in his CHIM. 1st "New Combo" was a PHANTOM/COIL. (Yeah, I Know, what was I Smoking! lol). Went 3 Rounds. MEC Killed Me 3 Times, though Twice I Was able to See That Warm Yellow Glow. lol.
2nd Combo was a MAX/MET VAP Combo. Went 2 Rounds, MEC Killed Me Dead both Times, though Both Times He was that Brilliant "Pre-Explode" Red. lol.
So, I Learned While VERY EFFECTIVE Against AI's These Combos are UTTERLY USELESS in PvP. lmao
Unfortunetly MEC Had to Go Before I Could Strap On the EVER POPULAR IS/FUS Combo. lol.
LOL.Yep. I Get the "BoneHead" Award. lol. WHY Did I EVER Think a PHANTOM/COIL would be a "Good" PvP Combo? Lmao. I Suggest Everyone TRY This Combo on CIVI AI's. It's UNBELIEVABLE. For some Reason it CONTINUES to Fire EVEN while ALL SHIELDS are being Impacted by Cannon/Beam from AI's. (Tested this To See If I Was Able to Maintain Fire Rate). I thought I'd found a Hidden Gem that VICE had Planted. WRONG. lol.
The MAX/MET VAP Wasn't THAT Bad. But Against a CHIM with a Shield ReCharger it Falls A Little Short. Takes to Long to Bring Your Opponents Shields Down. I've Tried a MAX/COIL. Again, EFFECTIVE in "Killing Reds Dead". But Won't Sustain Fire in PvP.
An WHO Do I Choose to Test These "Marvels' against.....MEC. A SUPERIOR COMBAT PILOT.LOL
So, after NO DELIBERATION AT ALL, I'll Stick With My Tried and True Primaries. lol.
It's Been a LONG TIME Since I've Gone Up against a CHIM. I Forgot HOW MUCH PUNISHMENT that Frame Can Take. After our little "Contest" I Switch a Couple Profiles from SHRIKE to CHIM. Looking to See if the CHIM is Worth using in PvP with a MAX/COIL Or OTHER Combo I Can Think Up.lol. I can Still Remember the CHIM Has the Agility of a BRICK. lmao. I DO LOVE MY SHRIKE. lol.
Still Looking for that "MARVREL" Combo, but I Fear it is NON EXISTENT. lol

About that "MARVEL" Combo, it is all in the Pillot's skill and weapons combo. You could kill an Elephant with a watergun if you use outside of the box thinking skills!...:P:P:P:P:P:P

MAAR.I Don't Agree At All. Bad WEAPS Cancel Out MOST of that Pilots Skill. You Could KILL an Elephant with a WATERGUN but that Gun Would Need to Be INCREDIBLEY POWERFULL or the Elephant be in a COMA. lol.
Thank you - once again I am honoured to be a member of the 'Bees!

All I'm trying to say is that skills do matter. Skill assesment and weapons and ship choice of your opponent is a critical part in deciding what strategy to use. Now if you are a skilless clumsy slow reacting person weapons and ship choice will not matter!
If you are skillfull and fly an Evoch-E for example and your up against a skillfull player with a Chimera your weapon choice does not really matter, it can help you defeat your opponent quicker but an Evoch-E in the hands of a skillful pilot can beat a Chimera handsdown regardless of the Chimeras weapon choice or your weapons choice! Now I do not claim to be the most skillfull pilot, but I will call my self an average skilled pilot. But I have seen very skillful unbeatable pilots use the Evoch-E exclusively!......:P

I agree totally - I've got a hard-assed Chim and get pulverised by most "people pilots" most of the time. . . .
It's not how big it is . . . . it's what you can do with it that counts . . . . sadly :D:D:D
