Thanks for the compliment, jasonbarron. I only thought to do this yesterday around noon when the entire PVP community expelled all of the salt they've gathered for the past year. I have a disagreement regarding the hypocrisy of being rage quit levels of upset when having game progress reset even though we normally love to mock those who get upset about game progress being reset.

This is one of the most refreshing threads I've ever seen here. Incredible idea with great tact.
Kudos brother. My courier will be there eventually.

Friend request sent but I am GMT +12 so might be a bit of luck involved
Only if you trust them not to have other cheats already setup which FD don't know about. Quite possible considering the groups history.
Awesome fight! His hull tank must be cheat free acquired god rolls! That was insane armour. Really enjoyed watching that. My internet is out and I'm getting jealous watching!
Trent's fight was good as well, though more technical and less spectacular to watch. Way out of my league though. If I get my connection up and running again I'm definitely heading over for some flying lessons.

Well done, appears to be a proper gentlemen's fight. I'm about 7kly away and even my best loadout is compromised, but I could do with some lessons too. 
CMDR Urion, are you using a head/eye tracker?

Thanks! If you think that's a tough hull, wait until you see Round 4. Fought an anaconda loadout I've never battled before...a biweave hull tank with rails, plasmas, and an elite NPC fighter.

Thank you. And yes, I'm using head tracking with a TrackIR - a game changer for sure.
CMDR Urion as your on here and SDC in general seems to be keeping a low-profile would you care to comment on the rumours of a ps4 launch disruption campaign involving your group posted on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6j90k7/various_groups_plan_to_sabotage_ps4_release/
Is there any truth to the rumour, is it official SDC policy to sabotage the launch?

Fair play to you. Credit or 200m where it's due
I don't do much Combat, but does untargeting give an advantage, or is that just a frequent fat-fingering of the key? Is there a delay in player ship status that necessitates frequent targeting to force an update?

It gives an advantage to the enemy
No, seriously - what is happening here is that CMDR Smooticus is engaging silent running, since his(?) shields are down anyway. You may be able to see it (noticed it only once myself) in one turn, where you can clearly see the heat vents on the back of the FxS glowing bright orange, then going off apruptly. This will break the target lock (if you're lucky) of any tracking-assisted weapons - if you're sufficiently far away.
But as long as your opponent is using fixed weapons and you're dogfighting on close range and on sight anyways, it doesn't make much of a difference.
CMDR Archon Fury in his "Sidey versus the Galaxy" videos occasionally shows (and explains) this from the other perspective.
@CMDR Urion & Smooticus: if Urion had died not due to further damage but simply from running out of oxygen, would that have constituted a valid and/or honorable win?
P.S: I sit corrected: just watched the fight against CMDR Eent Tredison - Urion is actually switching targeting around when he doesn't need it. No idea why, though.

He's being hit with Target Lock Breaker effect. Very popular choice on the Plasmas.
OK, I really want to see this round 4!
That's correct - the target lock breaker effect on PAs, well, breaks target lock. There's a moment in Round 4, though, when I untarget/retarget to reset module targeting. I was trying to take down his power plant and realized he had it armored.
And Ashnak, I would have/will consider life support failure to be a legit win. If I get my canopy blown out, I now have a hard timer to finish the fight.
Thank you CMDR TheBlackVegetable for the dramatic fight in Round 4!

That was probably the most heavily armored ship I've seen to date
