Diamondbacks are great ships but they aren't exactly known for their combat capability.
Regardless what you say I doubt ill bother a vulture unless they have a bounty on them,but you must have fought a garbage python player to kill him in a diamond back.
Or I was just able to get the most out of it, he fought as good as most PC HOTAS setup pilot's I've watched. Price does not make a ship unbeatable, just much more drawn out. That fight had to have lasted at least 15 minute's, he was good and if I'd been in a Viper or Cobra Id've been shot down. Believe me or not is your choice but you're attitude toward's the Scout could get youi n a bad spot. A skilled pilot can use that speed & low heat to slowly but surely eat away your shield's I know as I've been on the recieving end and had to runb ecause my Asp was simply unable to keep up between him dropping of the scanner and his speed and manuvering advantage. The attitude of expensive is automatically superior is only true in the Conda.
You sound pretty good I just found the diamond backs shields to be to weak for my tastes.
for the large ships like mine you can beat them if your agile enough to hug the back of them as long as they don't have turrets.that was how I dealt with pythons/anacondas when I had my vulture.Yep, if I were to have sliped up I wouldn't have had time to regret it.
