Not sure what happened to him, I saw him to, I was blasting him to bits but someone else attacked me, when I dispatched them, he was gone.Yeah mouse and keyboard aren't the quickest responders sometimes... then my touchpad that is suppose to be disabled when the mouse is connected seems to have "forgotten" that, and reconnected... windows 10 magic
I may have to start using "energy tactics", I just need more practice is all
what happend to kossack I saw him once then he disappeared..
Oh well, tomorrow is another day,
I had one of these "network issues". Looked kind of interesting - everybody flying away, slowly spinning. And disappearing one by one.... And finally "Unable to connect..." message.
After rebooting everything I got a few TDMs (mostly unfamiliar ranked but seemingly weak opponents, but in general nicely balanced teams - close scores all matches). Still unable to get DM...

GGs Steenpass - not seen you for a while.
Steenpass I think I was on your team in one the matches today GG, that Soren guy kept kicking my rear but our team won. I'm now flying with a Vive and I must say its so much more fun, FDEV should really be pushing Arena as fun to pick up and play in VR it's their answer to Eve Valkyrie.

Glad to help out and always tough matches against you
As for VR its really worth it, first piece of hardware I've had zero buyers remorse for even with all the issues Vive currently has with ED. You certainly lose some fidelity, but its more than worth it for the situational awareness you get from it along with the sense of scale for the ships. Also the room scale experiences like Star Pirate trainer are awesome if you have the space.

Sorry I left earlier curtis something was wrong, you were hitting me too much, then I realized, I unbound the silent running key.... ooops lol
Yeah, I wondered about that. You definitely were not using countermeasures. I discovered today that if you go into your bindings folder, you can make multiple copies of your custom.bind file with different control mappings. They then appear in the presets drop down menu in the control settings, so switching between control schemes for different modes becomes easy. I made a CQC and main game variant, and they both show up as presets when I go into the control config screen.
Here are the instructions if you want to try it:
1. Go to Elite Dangerous bindings folder here: C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
2. Copy Custom1.8.bind and rename it to the name that you want the custom binding to have in the control config screen. I named one of mine Custom CQC.1.8.bind for example.
3. Open the new file with a text editor (it's just a custom XML file), and change the value of PresetName to the new name of the file e.g. PresetName="Custom CQC" (This is the same as the new file name, but without the .1.8)
4. Go to the control options screen in game. Your new custom binding should show up under presets.
5. Make any binding changes you want and then hit apply, and that should be it.
Note: When you hit apply, Elite will save your changes to the .bind file for the preset that you are editing, but it uses the value saved in PresetName as the file name when saving and appends 1.8 to it. That means that if your new .bind file is named something different than the value saved in its PresetName node, Elite will create a newer .bind file and ignore the one that your originally saved. In that case keep the file that Elite made, and delete the one that you created.

I saw some pretty awful lag yesterday, only for one or two matches though(might have just been one). Not sure if you were in the laggy match or not, but I definitely remember lag.
yep, plenty of lag, but also CMDRs disappearing or not appearing in game for me, even though they were definitely there and scoring, hits not registering on shields or hulls (and i stress, absolutely no accusations of cheating on this at all from me, it was definitely a network issue), became pretty much unplayable by late afternoon.
GG Artysu, Trent, Relgar, Kossack
