Here's a 1hr 13min upload of some combat in a Sidewinder. For those of you without premium, enjoy.

Video description is: "Super fun last night (Monday night) at the Federal distress signal in the Eranin system. Lots of other human players around, mostly on the same side, all pounding the hell out of the Eranin Defense forces. I ended the night with 45 NPC kills, 1 player kill, 1 death (via another player on opposing side), and a total credits earned figure of 23,500. Not a bad nights work."

I'll not spam by starting a new thread for each vid, so I'll post in this one as long as I remain in the Sidewinder.

Here's another vid:

I visited two locations and had 58 kills (3 of those human players), died 1 time (against an Eagle human player in my Sidewinder), and hauled in 22,450 CR in a single night.

First, apologies for the video quality. There's some tearing and scaling issues caused by me running in window mode for the first time (testing out Twitch streaming).

Fairly standard combat night. Lots of kills, but nothing that really leapt out as a "wow" in terms of combat. I did get 5 player kills, but they were all fairly easy ones. I also lost my ship the instant I started! Getting closer to the Cobra......

My gaming is also now broadcast on Twitch, so if you prefer to see me live, ask some questions there, etc, feel free to follow me and Twitch can notify you when I come online: http://www.twitch.tv/wheatleyt

I will also capture video at the same time and still produce the same types of videos (perhaps not as heavily edited as this one was) for YouTube.

Enjoy.

I got told to try some different weapons, so here you go. I am using Class 1 Gimballed Lasers, which effectively make combat a bit easier, but they are Class 1, which means they don't pack as big of a punch.

Exciting night, combat is unedited. 44 kills, 2 player kills (both the same player in his Eagle). I also was killed at the end of the night by an NPC.

This weapon combo made things interesting for me, and made it a fun night. Although it was a lot easier to hit my targets than the fixed Class 2's I normally use, any head to head situation, I risked my ship.

The first human kill was also quite interesting. He was stalking me, but didn't realize I was stalking him right back. :) He was in an Eagle, and I killed him twice in my Sidewinder. http://youtu.be/XdFaHhMewsE

I start off the video with the new E3 trailer, if you hadn't already seen it. Then I head to the Federal distress signal, but get interdicted by two Cobra Mk IIIs. After surviving that, I head to my original destination and get 14 kills, 4 of those human players, and eventually lose my ship at the hands of another. http://youtu.be/W2rRC4R0was

Got killed tonight twice by NPCs (one of those after being softened up by a human). Switched to fixed lasers, got used to them by the end of the night.

Massive kill count, but no player kills!

This will hopefully be my last night in the Sidewinder, I bought my Cobra Mk III at the end of the video! http://youtu.be/aA3ls-OkkYE

You're welcome. :)

Quick update video as we approach Beta 2.0. Includes some combat in the anarchy system, which is much more difficult than the standard bounty hunting locations in safer systems. Two PvP kills are highlighted, and I show my stats at the end of Beta 1.0. Sorry if the commentary is a bit... Blah... I was posting tired. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMLtqnPIGrc
