PvP 63 G. Capricorni

Met up with a few acquaintances at the CG (I was here looking for Frogs, who don't get along with my CMDR very well) and ended up finding some miscellaneous trouble while experimenting with various things...

Some multi-crew SLF...doesn't go too well, at least not against the wing we were facing. Too much firepower arrayed against it for me to do much with the mothership, and people who can aim rails make very short work of any SLF (warning: Some off-color commentary in the chat window...mothership didn't have an interdictor, so my crew had to resort to slander to start a fight, which continued throughout the engagement):

Rest of the wing switches to PA/rail Viper Mk IIIs and we attack a Cutter and Viper who may or may not have been hauling for Frogs. Pipko manages to down the Viper in the second part, but the Cutter escapes, not that we were expecting anything different:

We drop into a low wake containing a wing fight. After it's over, my wingman challenges the Viper present to a duel, which I observe:

Just as my wing disbands, my vette is pulled over by an FDL and Vulture. Since this is exactly the sort of fight I built this ship for and at least one of my opponents doesn't seem especially experienced, things go pretty well for me:

First four clips were cut from the same recording and scaled down to 1080p to save some time uploading them. Last one didn't really need any cropping, so I just uploaded the raw 4k60 recording, which is why the quality is considerably better.

Last PvP encounter here before I got bored of not finding any Frogs to shoot at:

Friendly match to 20% hull.

I didn't realize all the lasers on these two were regeneration beams until after the fight started. I initially tried switching to whichever target was closest to me that was most likely to have pips in WEP rather than SYS to see if I could crack either of their shields before the other's regeneration made a difference. Obviously, that didn't work. I then tried to focus on one at a time to see if I could simply outpace the regen...I could, but it was slow going and I was hampered by the need to keep pips in SYS to withstand the fire from the other corvette. I a few short lived attempts to place my ship between the two hostile vetts to slow the regen, but I couldn't afford enough ENG to really out maneuver the healer.

My wingman shows up half-way through and tries to knock out their shield gens with reverberating mines, but winds doing more damage to my generator, which is grazed soon after my shields fail, disrupting my shield regeneration.

In the end, I get one to 20% hull just before my own hull hits 20% and the fight ends.

This is a really good vid thread that well deserves a semi-necro-bump. I always liked paramilitary warfare / seek-and-destroy stuff best when I was in a PvP player group.

Ah, 63 G. Such fond memories for me. Elite player group stuff has no finer calling than the noble endeavour that Morbad, Pipko and others sought to pursue here...

Man, that's a lot of videos to go unrecognized for so long.

What a shame. Will give them a watch today, OP.

I really enjoyed the one with the FDL and the Vulture.
