Hey all!
I have already spoken with both friends and Frontier about this, where the players seem to be more sensitive than Frontier itself who never play their own game, unfortunately...
Imagine you want a car race with a friend. First you remove all air from his tires and shout loud: "let's go!". He doesn't feel up to that? Well, who cares. Doesn't matter?!
You may tell him it's his mistake not to have fitted run-flat-tires which work without air too. But that type of tips may not be too welcome. He might think you're kidding him...
And that's what Elite does every day and since ages! All that target disruption, chaff or silent running makes it almost impossible to target and/or hit anything!
Frontier simply replaced pilots skill with technologies annoyances, making you unable and inoperable during pvp when not sitting in a special prepared vessel.
Telling you to use your gimballed weapons in fixed mode not only drives gimballed usage ad absurdum. It is still not the same. And won't fix the excessive use of target disruption.
Even long time, well known Cmdrs who play since start in Dec 2014 feel more and more angry: "that's no pvp anymore! you can't target anything!" Yeah, the pvp guys may love it...
This comes to the point where you face a real pvp player, having only one chance: having a similar prepared vessel. Or leave the PC alone going shopping in the nearest supermarket awhile.
Well, you could just turn of your PC because you think the no-fairness begun right before you pulled your plug. But come on guys, when passive defences and special effects rule the fight -.
Don't cry that many avoid pvp more and more. Things could be so easy. Remove target disruption, chaff and silent running. Bring back hit or miss into the pilots hands. And there will be no more excuses.
But I don't think that will happen. So let's continue with kidding game mechanics that drive you crazy or angry or both at the same time while you only want a fair play...
Thanks for reading ^^
