SDC Wins Season 3 of the PvP League! (Finale vs AA)

That was an awesome match between AA & SDC.

Favorite part was in the first round when John Raan into that rock!

Watching several of the PvP league fights, I am gladdened to see that I'm not alone in still bumping into the odd rock mid-combat.

"Haha, take this inferior NPC 'conda, whose bones will be ground to make my bre-OW! Uh, totally didn't hit that rock, mister MC pilot. It must have hit me instead. Well, there is some irony in all this, you know...I mean, we both lose a contact lens at the same time?" *

Congrats? It's unfortunate that any PVP wins are now tainted until Frontier goes public with a decision to remove all engineer-hacked modules. Not even saying SDC cheated, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's possible, all wins have a smear of an asterisk.

Agreed, and FD can't just shy away from telling us how they will deal with those who have used the exploit. I often wondered how some of the guys got such vastly engineered ships a while back when all they seemed to be doing was pvp'ing.
 
It seems like the most experienced used Dirty Drives, and the less experienced (like my group) chose weapons.

Speed and maneuverability seems a far more viable choice than more firepower to me, staying on an opponent or outmaneuvering seems a much more preferable option (personally speaking) but what the hell do i know i suck at pvp.
 
Seems like it would be fairly simple to splice a video showing the accurate time after the fact with a different stats tab, especially since the stats tab takes a second to load with an animation that wipes the screen, so you could time the splice just right at the "refresh" with a relatively still and consistent background. So ultimately, any kind of rule set that is enforced by offline files seems to rely on the honor system. Given the lengths people go to cheat in the normal game, I find it hard to believe that any such competition would be immune.

One way to put a verifiable "stamp" would be to have a certain characteristic ship with a custom paint job (eg one not available to the public) hovering behind their engineer tab window, so that they could be seen at the same time the modules list was showing.

It would be MUCH SIMPLER howver if Frontier expanded CQC to include a few modes that allowed all normal/engineered ships, and set up the rules (point system, engineer module limits, etc) for builds within the match maker. Probably never gonna happen, but hey, I can dream can't I?


Ridiculousness to the extreme. Those that competed wanted to compete, not build a fictitious reason not to.
 
Congrats :)

Having fought SDC guys in the occasional in-game scuffle I can say they are a very skilled bunch, well deserved indeed.
 
Cograts to SDC. But i'm putting my money on Cobrai Kai next year. They are young, they are fighters, and they have a cool name. ;)
 
Wow that was an amazing battle...I didn't know who was going to take the spoils...it was touch and go right to the end of the stream!!

Harry Potter narrowly pipped Sundae 2-1 in case you missed the grand final.

I'll definitely be tuning in to the 'campest PvP voice competition' next year!
