Engineers Elite Dangerous Open is a very broken game

I fly a cobra III in open, and not my corvette. I have high yield cannon and mines with reverb and no shield at all. I've almost no PvP experience at all. You really think I'd take my vet into open? Lol.
edit. Junked my cobra III. Tuning up my gunship to go into PvP now. Getting my crew up to elite first. Don't care about shields and have one emissive pulse.

If a cobra III can take down a corvette by a player with a few hours of elite dangerous gameplay behind them then the game is broken. A wing of cobra III with elite combat commanders... yes. I have no problem with that.
If I do go into open then it's don't bother to fight. It's flight. And in a corvette you can do that. And try not to loose at interdiction. Fit a fast cooldown FSD to get away. That big ship is no match for those cobra III new pilots. Your shield will go down immediately with mines and your modules with engineered weapons. A five minute battle at the most.
And as soon as you jump to a new system, drop out to normal space. Log out. Login in then head to your destination in private or solo. Then log into open and do your thing in open then log out again and go back into private or solo.

Now would it not be nice if elite players can get elite hulls and elite shields? Rank should have it's privileges and that honest grind will be honestly rewarded too.
where the cobras pink and black ?

three class four modules. Fast. Best stealth ship in the game. cheap insurance. Is a god ship when over-engineered. A must for new PvP players as you learn about silent running and heat and F-OFF F-ON. Engineer to reduce the heat output. High hull. Only thing bad about it is you can make yourself a large target if not careful but you get a lot of resist with all those hulls engineered. You can really annoy griefers with this ship. I don't really think the cobra III has any negatives. I used mine to earn a lot smuggling. Can't do that anymore. Back in the day I used it to fund my corvette purchase. And I had a huge amount of fun with it. Then FDEV went and nerfed smuggling. Make money now doing passenger missions or war. Passenger missions are the way to go now, if you stick to the short transport runs once you get rep to allied. 14 LY max and 1-3 million per run.
Oh, and put chaff on and heat sink. You can stop missile lock with one touch of silent as long as you move out the way. Most overpowered weapon in the game is a class two cannon. It's high speed, which means accurate. Engineer for long range to add more speed to the cannon shell.
Add a black Friday paint job and a ship kit to cover the lights up at the front and she's good to go. Then name her 'What Is ED PvP please?'
More info: get a second account to add one pip to weapon as it can multi-crew. I have second account on laptop. Don't forget to add 30% to shells by making your own. Farm for fun!

Going to sell my corvette. Total waste of my time. Once took a jump ship to sag a. My avatar is a picture taken from that journey. 18.5 LY range. NEVER AGAIN! Corvette is 15 LY. I can squeeze 20 from it but I loose all my engineering if I do. Which means it's a bubble ship. And a pain to get anywhere. Conda is better at everything. Has more firepower too.

'Conda is slower in combat, has less energy reserves and is less manouverable and finaly its hard point layout means that you effectively have to choose between your huge hard point or the smaller ones mounted on the deck, where as the Corvette can bring all of its guns to bear at once.

Want to try again?
