I said in this instance this one did, and others probrably saw it was a Corvette and decided not to engage, but the reason im not in open?
Simple, i mostly play this game as an explorer its what i like doing, so when im out in my "paper ship" ASPX i dont want to be bothered or blow up losing valuable data.
When it comes to the combat builds, then in that case and that is why i was in this instance in open, i wanna learn to be at least competitive so i can fly in open and do reasonable well with them.
ATM trying out the Alliance Challenger, liked it, probrably will be my go to ship for combat, and am working to engenieer it before trying open again.
So my plan is simple, exploration i stick to mobius, combat builds to have fun, get on open.
Yah no problem saying it, im still a "newb".
