PvP Are Reverb Torps too overpowered?

[Feros-da-Grundig]

I put a large torpedo pylon on my Corvette (because i was unsure of what else to put there). Does 4 torps annihilate any shield gen, or more are needed? How much damage does every torpedo do to a shield gen?

Each torp does 42 damage to the shield gen. (This is 35% of its total damage).

So it can vary from as little as 1 torp for a 3d unmodded shield (38 integrity) to 7 torps for an 8A thermal resist double braced (290 integrity)

I was referring to the fact it's a common mistake to assume a high combat PF rank means much when it comes to PvP.

This. Worlds of difference.

First hand experience, me! I think I'm classed as "Dangerous"...........I am not dangerous lmao. Ive put 1000 hours of open and private PvE and trading into the game. My combat rank is because of that. In PvP I would still be "mostly harmless" lol.

Also, on the flip.

For the first time i thought some time on my side of the windscreen might illustrate a few points.

1 lateral thruster control is still the key to the game.

2 modulating boost timing is critical to playing the inside center.

3 toggling effectively is optimal to any fixed strategy.

4 shieldless is still viable.

5 nv is niether needed nor particually important.

6 skill vs cheez arguments like balance etc are all crutches.

It only hurts you if it hits you.

Spend a truncated 14 minutes getting some practice the big boy way.

Ps thanks sk8, for being willing to fight anyone anywhere anytime.
I respect that a lot.

Pps. 7 this is both pvp and pve happening concurrently . Lol. Sorry bogan!
