I wasn't able to kill the enemy CMDR before he low-waked.
After following him in the nearby nav-beacon, the inevitable happened, he combat logged
What I'm wondering is why you were able to follow him. If I spot an enemy CMDR I don't think I can take in a fight (which is literally everyone when in a SHIELDLESS lightweight Beluga without hardpoints) I'm jumping a minimum of three times before I let my guard down enough to hang out by a star lol
How many jumps did you need to catch up to him, OP?
None. He low waked away from me, I low waked and followed him in supercruise to the nav beacon. He logged off when Kari joined me though.
Oh wait, I'm dumb.
Although I'm not sure why a CMDR who's played long enough to amass such a credit balance wouldn't know to high-wake to lose a pursuer. Space is a pretty big place; it's easy to get lost out there.
By the way I wouldn't have gone after him after high waking, my intend was to keep him off the Nav Beacon, Res sites and from handing in bounties, by force if necessary.
I'm not following this - why were you keeping this person from those things?
No, because at that time we wanted to flip carcosa to anarchy, and handing in bounties at the ruling faction would've undermined that goal. So everyone bounty hunting was a target.
Although I'm a part time pirate, I'm not one of those KWS-->KOS guys...
Ashenfox and I had our FDL vs. Chieftain duels just a bit ago, four of them actually. I won. Well, you could say we both won as we're more familiar with our setups than before.
I need a nap though, an hour of constant fighting in an FDL against another CMDR is a real chore.
It's been my CMDR's home base for the outfitting and discount since PP factions showed up back in 1.2.
Used to have an interstellar factors until recently, but then someone crapped up all the factions and took the outpost from the local pirates.
Three hours?

Ha! Ninja'd by seconds.
Well, I'm proud to say I got my ass handed to me as expected. 2 for 2 with my usual loadout and another 2 easier wins for him with an experimental one. I clearly have much to learn, still. Morbad got the vid of my best effort, I'm sure he'll be along shortly. Maybe I should have something with gimbals, too....hm...
edit: Oh, I've got an excuse, I brought in the wrong PAs they both had TLB when one should have had dispersal! Doh! That's definitely why I lost, uh huh.

A mix is usually good, especially if you have a bunch of weapons of different projectile velocities.
People get hung up on showing off their aim. I'm far more pragmatic.

Might have helped, especially in the first fight where my rail aim was seriously sloppy and I was very nearly out of ammo.
However, in the last fight I still had almost 30 shots left in each of my rails...more chaff and/or dispersal would have simply delayed the inevitable. Though you did nail my distributor pretty good...if you could have destroyed it, that may have tipped the scales enough.
Kids today....Stop teasing us, I demand the videos, my thread, I'm entitled to see them
As a responsible adult, I insist on the video - now - or I'll stamp my feet and sulk!
Aw, thanks )) Morbad was a hero, too. He puts so much into these fights, to ask him to do that kind of work 4 times in a row was cheeky of me. I'm grateful for the lessons. I did learn something important during those fights, that may be obvious to some, but I'm one who likes to learn the hard way. Efficient PAs are only any good against a ship that is of equal speed or slower. From the point you can't control the range often enough, they are almost worthless against a decent opponent. So, at least that's settled, I'm sticking with focused and long range on the Alliance ships and will revisit the efficient experiment at a later date with the mamba and the FDL, and maybe the Phantom. I'm glad actually, I enjoy using the focused more anyway.

Edited down the quote a bit.
So two commanders, asking a single commander questions? Might put a bit of a spin on things.
And did you ever think you might not have gotten a reply because your victim was using a VR device that makes typing very difficult? Or might not be fluent in English? Did you give him time to type on the console keyboard?
Any of these things could have slowed down comma.
