Funny i literally just started a thread that mentions this.
I exclusively fly the vette. And just this morning bet a Krait to the point they were salty and flew off saying "you only won because youre in a vette."
And no..he wasnt a trash pilot..he was actually pretty good and was indeed flying cricles around me.
However..wit some FA off and G5 DD and boost..i was able to turn and catch him in the crosshairs long enough to hit him with 2 huge plasmas and one large multiple times.
Enought o make him scurry off.
So yeah..as im sure anyone with an ounce of logic has said already - big ships are fine for PVP..if you know how to use them...
(and before you ask, yes i have a video to back it up if youre interested)
