PvP in the dark side of an asteroid field, Hilarious fun!

We played in an asteroid field before hand and this time decided to hop around to the dark side, results were hilarious

Please ignore my obnoxious laugh as well

Enjoyed watching that! I've tried combat before myself in a similar darkside scenario where you're consistently expecting an asteroid to rush up in your face, a lot of fun indeed. Nice piloting too, liking your use of boost to redirect as quickly as possible, something you have to do quite frankly to get the most out of that ship, the Gunship. Refreshing cmdr!

Would have liked to boost when i am fully turned around but "pre-boosting" then FA on is more necessary cause those extra few seconds could mean my butt against an asteroid d:

Yeah indeed, I see what you're saying and my mentioning boosting was kinda a reference to you using boost to reorientate quicker and having to do it anyway, using it as a fall back plan so as not to hit anything. In some respects you've done that in one of the hardest ships, a bit numb and cumbersome. I found the Gunship a bit of a disappointment myself and subsequently sold it perhaps for another day, not because of its slow turn rate but the fact one can't chain boosts together very effectively to try and off-set this slow rotation, the boost cycle is just far too long to get it to work one after another, this alone could have made it a closer alternative to the FAS, as it stands no matter which thruster pack one fits it just feels so lardy so is a bit of an odd craft and choice.

None the less, great to see someone trying to get the best out of it, especially in those circumstances
