13th's Lord Commander Gets Destroyed in single combat by ace pilot Harry Potter!

Why gimballs? I thought SDC proudly taunted about being FA-off gods with fixed weapons? I mean I certainly can't do better, I don't play Elite or PvP enough to even remotely come close to any decent level of PvP skill, but I always thought that 13th Legion were the "gimball scrubs" while SDC were big "package" DPS pilots who only used fixed weapons with perma FA-off.
 
Nice video...

But... anyone who present themselves in third person, and then actually breaks the forth wall when replying to comments... hmm... :)

Either you RP all the way, or you don't RP at all. ;)
 
People that tout their own prowess are usually just looking for attention, often because they are not otherwise attention worthy. That is most definitely the case here.

Another wasted night at the O Club... :(

I don't drink, so I had to wait to drive all the guys with suspended licenses home. That, and being muti-lingual with the cops helped. "German Cop: Ahhhhh, Guten Abend, Herr Major. Your usual pun-ishmnent duty, again, nicht var? Won yet *another* argument against the Oberst? Pass!" *walks away laughing his off* :(
 
Nightshady... that does ring a bell. Oh here it is:

Oh no... I hope I don't get banned like I did when I killed about 50 ships in Möbius... oh wait that don't happen either. The 13th have been around for over two years. Almost all of our pilots had multiple 140 drives before this was discovered. FD won't ban me, and they won't ban anyone else either. How could they possibly justify it after people have exploited credit schemes, satellite CIF exploits, etc etc. Quite frankly we released it as a gift to the community so people could have ships like ours without the endless grinding we had to do. So anyway, I will sit here and wait for the ban that's not coming. cheers!
 
lol @ champs lol @ ace pilot!! talk abt proping ur own ... up? Shouldn't it read - another gank by known cheats?
 
Whats funny is neither of these could kill or even get close to killing someone in a less FOTM build such as the new DBS that a certain Ottoparts and many others are running :p

Was this just a mess about battle just to test gimballed frags?

An FDL with this frag build is very easily counterable, i mean even a resistance python could sit still and just soak all the damage. Might even win with full turrets lol

Still enjoyed watching it even though it looks like a battle from a while ago (ship build wise).

I didn't see anything in this fight which was actually interesting.

No wait this WAS something very out of the ordinary! This may be the first time Cmdr Harry Potter was actually fighting a fair fight and not doing his normal cowardly ganking!

Maybe Cmdr Harry potter arranged this for some needed positive PR? If not then congrats to both of them.

Nah. If you're looking for FA Off only pilots, look into Newton's Gambit. Ganking is the glue that holds SDC together, not skill level. You can't compare the actual PvP teams to the rank and file.
 
The fact remains, however, that if you're in a prolonged turning fight then you have reached a stalemate where both aircraft are subject to similar issues and neither pilot has any way to gain an advantage.
And that continues to apply in ED too.

I don't agree. There is no stalemate implied by a turning fight.

If I'm fighting a pilot/ship with less ability to keep me in their cone of fire, I will deliberately attempt to force a turning competition. As time on target stacks up in my favor, I win, unless I screw up somewhere else.

In the opposite scenario, where I am at the disadvantage in maneuverability, I try to break the circle and open up distance as often as possible, or use other tools/attributes to my advantage.

Same can be said about any overly specialized setup and any faster ship struggles to be shot down by any slower ship.

Nice fight. When are Frontier going to add huge frag cannons....

Right after huge turrets.

Last I checked we where the winners for the pvp league two seasons in a row, not sure about you but I call that skill.
 
I often wonder how many people that like to "weigh in" on pvp threads have ever even had a single fight. Seems like it's more like "let's crash the thread" with backseat pilot input just because it's a pvp thread or because ya don't like who posted it.

I'm always looking to learn something in vids like these. Poo poo if ya want, but I didn't see a lot of the names here in the pvp champ bouts.

If I had some extra salt, I'd hand it over, Harry. I seem to be all out as usual hehe. Plenty in here though so enjoy :D

That's like saying someone can't be a great fighter if they aren't willing to make it an occupation.

In this game there are plenty of skilled CMDRs that avoid organized PvP.

Hey, just joined the forums and the game? Welcome!

Since you're new - Mostly Harmless - you might don't know that a great shame befell certain forum members and groups a few weeks ago. They are silent and absent, and the rumor has it they will join the forum under a brand new identities. But will be easily recognized by instantly joining in the very advanced topics and techniques, familiar with all the participants. Will "weigh in" on pvp threads.

Just sayin'.
 
You assume i'm new or think you know my origin. Consider me schooled in crap I already knew and still don't care about lol

Yer not as smart as ya think you are and the thread ain't about me anyways.
