Newbie: combat training in EL

Post by rsitaly »

Hello!

The first combat situation in EL I was involved in, ended with my death! :(
So, in order to training myself, I have installed ARVOCH CONFLICT.
I have done all the training lessons and now I'm doing some INSTANT ACTION missions and it seems to me that it is a good way to earn some combat skills.

My question is simple ... do you think that the INSTANT ACTION missions of AC are really useful also for EL? I mean ... is EL very different in space combat (I'm speaking about AI ships of course) or it has some similarities with AC space combat (always speaking about AI ships)?

Thanks in advance!

LOL! All ship to ship combat is the same. Aim better, shoot faster, fly faster, avoid faster, etc. It's all the same!
But I must warn you, no matter how many "reds" you kill, no matter how quickly you kill them, no matter how many of them you destroy at one time, there is no comparison to fighting a real person!
The sooner you learn to kill real players, the sooner you'll learn how to survive!
Good Luck!

There are a lot of similarities, so the short answer is yes, practice in AC will help you in EL a lot.

Practicing with real pilots in MP is best way imo.

Welcome rsitaly. MP is a geat place to learn combat, so is Aries or Thuban!!!:P

Un altro italiano a bordo!!! Benvenuto. ;)

MP is the real training here, AI ships are not a match unless they are at least 3 against you and all in close range. Even then, you can get range easily and pick one at time.
Best regards
