Amazing Player Interaction (Video PvP)

Arktac13 · Dec 28, 2014

Hey guys, this was my first real chance at PvP and it left me speechless. Cmdr Youwillsmith is a great pilot and I hope to find him someday in the future to finish our duel. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

I took on a mission to eliminate some Empire trade ships, I found myself upon

What do you guys think of the scenario?

Arktac13 · Dec 28, 2014

I also was on the wrong fire group and I didn't realize until I was 5 minutes into the fight. When ever I tried to use my K-warrent scanner I was actually attempting to my multi-cannons. I was so focused on the battle It took me forever to realize.

About as consensual as PVP can be.
Nice use of fixed beams, they can be hard to keep on target at times.

Kinda lame how you just shield tanked him somehow. He was nailing you with rockets and multicannons but you just tanked it all without having to divert any pips to shields. You were also just playing space turret...

Im sorry you didn't like my setup, It's what my ship is designed to do in battle. I wasn't under the impression it was cheap or lame to do so.

The guy he was fighting was also shield tanking, just not doing it as effective. Nice fight OP, pretty impressive with using the KB/M.

What size were the beams and multis you were using?

Shield cells are OP in my opinion, you might disagree, but they are certainly a needed part of your ships arsenal.
Fighting without them is like not filling all your weapon slots.

There a small description of my loadout under the video, here it is
- Two Class 2 Beam Lasers (Fixed)
- Two Class 1 Multi-Cannons (Gimbelled)
- 11 Slot Shield Cell Bank
- Military Grade Hull

I do agree that their a must have for battle, and they are incredibly OP to those who don't use them (Like every NPC in the game..)

Thank you, I think it's worth it for those times you get a clean consistent beam hitting him.

Thank you, I honestly like the way the shield cell banks function. It is another skill to master in the art of dog fighting. You have to constantly keep focus on the shields when they become so that you can deploy you shield cell for maximum effectiveness. Those that have fewer or don't use them as sparingly will result as a less effective dog fighter. (Opinion)

Yep, that crap really needs to get removed. Even one is already pretty overpowered as far as comparing to any other equipment goes so you'd still put it on your ship, but 11 of them? That's just way out there in the idiotic design department.

haha, I agree. That's how I felt when I put them on. I saw 11/11 and my eyes grew big, I knew it would make me invincible in battle. (against NPC's)

B3 shield cells have 8 charges, but the charges are weaker then the A3 ones, I'm guessing they are B4 shield cells?

If 2 ships have shield cells it seems to just prolong the fight, I think this is annoying, but isn't the real issue.
The problem is when one ship has them and the other ship doesn't. They are such a huge advantage.

I hadn't used shield cells until abut a week ago, I'd seen them used on me, but didn't realise how good they were. I think there are many players who also don't realise how good they are.

If you have a ship that isn't 100% outfitted for combat, I think shield cells put you at a big disadvantage.

Agreed, but I enjoy the prolonged battle. like I said it adds one more skill to master in order to be better than your opponent, but I do disagree with how incredibly overpowered it is for those who don't use them

@Arktac13: I like your way handling your mouse/keyboard. Very impressive. Good fight Dude!

Thanks! Is it really that obvious that I'm using a mouse and keyboard? Know I wonder what it looks like when someone fights with a stick and throttle, hmm..

Neither am I, but I doubt it would be very effectual against a more skilled, less consenting, opponent.

The cursor and relative lack of thruster control make it pretty obvious.

That makes sense now that I think about it, thx.

I'm sure the ending was great, when you both finally got to one, but I hit the "close window" red X when I saw the Shield Cell dance begin.

I have absolutely nothing but nice things to say about the way you two started that duel.

And I realise why you (and I) sport Shield Cell Banks at the moment.

But... sigh. I so wish they weren't in the game, or were substantially, massively more limited in their impact... to the point where I just tuned out and turned off part-way through.

Perhaps I'm just having a grumpy day.

I cant believe how many people are disliking my first video I have ever uploaded on youtube simply because I have equipped my ship with a good shield cell bank module....
