If you are being ganked 4 v 1 there is no fighting. You run
4 smalls are more than enough to murder a large in this situation.
Target Lock Breaker spamming needs adjusted ASAP

Yep, because wings target lock spamming huge ships successfully must mean the pilot in said ship is pathetic right? Another "miss the point" post.
Without target lock breaker in play you can effectively defend yourself with good target priority and sharp control. It's the target lock breaking that destroys any chance, especially if you are up against some silent runners.
If you are attempting to do anything except leave in a 4v1, you have unrealistic... everything, basically.
Congratulations on discovering that large ships have inherent weaknesses.
Complain about getting outflown, get told to git gud. Circle of life yo.

That's easily dealt with. Whilst we're casting dispel magic let's get rid of shield cells too, or nerf them and limit them to one per ship. They're a totally crap mechanic that just add vast amounts of tedium to fights.
It's a game unlike most other games where you can effectively be put back to the start of your save if you lose enough insurance money. I'm not posting this due to a death or anything. I'm just posting this out of principle because it really can become ridiculous when you're being struck in numbers by stealth ships who also have the means to switch off engines and FSD etc.
Being able to at least target your foes for more than a split second should be possible. That's my opinion and my appeal here.
Outflown? Yep, apparently that happened. Attitudes here are quite something. Let's leave target lock in the game without any adjustments because apparently anyone who thinks it's a bit off is being outflown.
No even without TLB you will die. You can target one ship at a time. Assuming one chaff per ship that's 40+ moments of *no damage* glitter.
They are smaller, faster and can get out of your firing arc long before you can do anything significant. Mean while the three enjoy open season on you.
Weird its like TLB give them a chance vs your vett/cutter/ other big ship/ WEIRD ITS SEEMS BALANCED that someone who didnt feel the need to grind out rank to get a ship still has a fighting chance WEIRD, THIS IS ALL WEIRD. my point being yes the TLB does give them a chance to fight your vett, and if you DIE to a smaller ship its your own fault, just because your vett dosnt will 100% of the fights its in you go to the forums and scream at the counter to large ships, shows your lack of understanding of concepts like balance and fair play in a game.
Git Gud and move on learn to fly a ship that isnt a TLB mag in combat effectively and the problems you complain about are gone.
You missed my post where I said I agree it could use a short cooldown. Your insistence that it's the reason you lost a 4v1 is why you're not being taken seriously.
Well, I'm glad you have finally seen sense.
That's not the only reason he isn't being taken seriously.
I will say this. During beta I fought several ships using TLB in my T9 Heavy, a ship you literally cant miss, and won several times.

Why don't you all just play nice and stop shooting at each other?
Where's the fun and excitement in that?
Because then the game needs to be renamed to "Elite: Casuals."
Fixed weapons are not an outlier in PvP. Or do you mean specifically on a Corvette?
Once again you are showing us your poor flying skills.
You were 4-0-2 all time, no pip management at all;
Your throttle control was sloppy, for most of the fight, you were going 47m/s;
You were not using your lateral/vertical thrusters a lot, if you used them in the first place.
Yet you are complaining about 3 opponents hitting you 50 times in more than 4 minutes.
You are literally asking for a "I WIN" button here.
