The best E:D youtube vid i've seen

It's more nuanced than that IMO.
The trick is to use FA off or on when the situation demands it, within combat.
If I was prevented from using FA off, I would be much worse in combat. If I was forced to use FA off all the time in combat, I would be much worse also.

Yes, you're right. I meant it with FA always off during combat. Even with vertical/lateral thrusters used at optimum efficiency I wasn't able to mimic the tight turns I get with FA Off.
 
Okay, so tried what he did in the video...... and wow does it work !!

Hunting at Nav Beacons for wanted hauler pilots, shooting them, then picking up battle weapons or consumer goods they drop and then sneaking into black markets to claim my prize. I have never made so much money in ED before... Now rolling about in a fully tanked Viper like a boss, and with loads of creds in the bank.

Thank you :D
 
@JamesBondage: I had the same problem while using my iPad. The images only loaded after I copied the image source links to a new Safari tab and loaded them there. Afterwards they were also shown in the forum between the spoiler tags.

Therefore I changed the image source from bayimg.com to imgur.com which also enables me to use thumbnails and omit the spoiler tags :D .

What's not to love about that video! The best thing for me about it, was thinking about different ways he could've got inside that station! Looking forward to following his "career" with great interest. :)
 
There's a whole load of other vids by Isinona in the various newsletters which are archived in the Newsletter Forum.

Also from memory the FA mechanics and heat characteristics have changed a bit since that beta. But that doesn't take away from his/her skill.

How do I get my cockpit view so I can always see the internal joystick etc like this guy?
He's using headtracking, and it isn't centered to the exact center of the screen (or he's just resting his head down a bit)
Arr the good old smuggling days, when you didn't need heat sinks ;)
And when the power of magic didn't slow your ship with FA Off/Thrusters off :p

Can honestly say I had allot more fun in ED During the beta 1 times.
