How on earth do you get 2 - 3 -1 pips?

[NeilF]

You try!

I did it once by accident and now can't repeat it!

Split your pips into 4, 2, and blank leaving the one you want with 2 blank, the one you want with 3 on 4.

Then tap the blank one twice..hey presto 3, 2, 1..

Took me a while to get that down pat lol.

in your case 0, 4,2...then tap 0 twice

Anyone else thing there's got to be an easier method to splitting power?

Yes, but you're at 2-2-2 by default... and all you want to do is MOVE ONE PIP from the right to the middle, and to do this it's:-

and you don't even get a cool "finishing move" animation for doing it

It's a shame the method results in 1/2 pips so often too considering this seems to be the case - http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=41337

Cannons.

Fair shields regen, good speed to maintain six, and just enough in the guns to keep them cool.

Enough speed to not get hit whilst the shields recharge and still able to snatch a couple of shots when you get the chance.

Wouldn't the same effect be got from balancing manually mid flight though?

And would that not be more rewarding (assuming you performed the needed adjustments at the proper times and made no mistakes)?

That's the way I see it, if I get better at adjusting on the fly I will be a superior pilot. I could be wrong though.

It's a real shame it's not possible to put across mood and verbal nuance in forum post's

Honestly mate it was a genuine enquiry not the start of an argument feel free to calm down any time you like

talking about energy distribution and "pips" are the small dots beneath the battery gauges.

I think you need the Dusty Bin/Ted Rogers add on for it.............

My bad, that's 3-2-1 isn't it
