Seems like a strange choice for a small agile viper though.

Well, not as much as you think. You could say:"Agile ships should use fixed, because they have higher DPS and aiming is easy when you are agile."

But you can also say:"With turrents I'll do damage 90% of the time, and I'll just focus on not getting hit myself. With fixed, my positions are limited to those within my arc, with turrets I can evade any which way and still do damage!"

Awww, I was in another CG HazRES at that exact time! I would have definitely helped you, although those roids deputised nicely.[haha] You would have been in big trouble without one in particular!

Spare a thought for me though, fighting the likes of Monstro & Rinzler (& various 2/3/4 v 1 gankings) today in a half-engineered, inferior ship.

It didn't start too well either; I haven't played ED since the 'installation' combat CG 2? weeks ago & I jumped into my Vulture forgetting that my bindings had been radically changed for my SR DBS...hence when I attempted to deploy my SCB, it in fact engaged SR knocking my shields off line!...& worse, I didn't realise & my temps went through the roof until I hit my heatsink manually (usually tied to my SCBs in the firegroups)..but my weapons, chaff etc had already been damaged by that point!

Moral of the story...do a pre-flight check after a break

LOL, a little back ground. Was streaming btw. I was wanted. Thought id go into the haz rez let some people take me out. I didnt have shield boosteres on left them on my Conda. Then I used FA and hit an asteroid like a boss. It was fun. Glad youre happy :)

Hate the word greifer. Youre on open. Bottom line.

Greifing is shooting cannons from the mail slot. Not fighting someone in Open.

You guys really need to start disconnecting those two topics. PVP shouldnt be looked down upon in this game.

Fun fight, though he had you until that boss player asteroid stepped in. Took the FDL's last shield ring and almost half his hull in hit lol. Thanks for posting +

Thanks for clarifying things - it really puts things into perspective.

There is nothing wrong with PvP, though I don't engage in it, save for the occasional stock sidewinder battle. But it certainly does rub some folk the wrong way because it has been abused and misused every bit as much as it has been used as intended.

Impressive. Now I can say I have watched a Viper with turrets and gimbals take out a engineered FDL.

That FDL could not have been setup with any armour at all.
The Viper MK4 is great for ramming ships, has a great little hull on it, but so does the FDL when its fully upgraded.

He went down to easy. Im betting 'Tomy, my first FDL' was out for his first PVP encounter.

Ewww turrets. Do you lack the ability to properly aim or something?

I don't know if you noticed but turrets have amazing utility due to how you can practically fire at stuff directly behind you. It has nothing to do with aiming, it's just a strategic choice to put them on less maneuverable ships. I personally wouldn't put em on a Viper 4, maybe a Python if I intended to battle wings of small ships, but that's just my choice.

Welcome to the forums and apparently the game. Hopefully you grow as a forum user and as a CMDR.

This is what makes this game fun, and we need more of it.
Player decided I'd be a good target. He's got an engineered FDL and I'm in a puny Viper MkIV. Easy kill for him, right? But I decided to scoot under a system authority ship and see what he'd do. Would he play it smart and hold off firing...Nope!

My first mismatched PvP kill in a Viper MkIV. Kewl.

lmao!

Honestly, such good work and quick thinking! He had a sizeable 6k bounty already, so he's murdered before.
