There's a new ship meta, and it's Viper MkIV

Two Viper MkIVs (me and some guy) took out a Wanted Elite Commander in a FDL. Turret cannons and pulse lasers FTW. Good times.

You dropped into a hazres and the fdl was already without shields and at 45% hull. Yeah I saw the vid before it got edited down to the last min. Who you trying to impress?

Dunno I guess people are learning about directional thrusters on it for the first time or something.

Dont worry, noone here takes Hercules serious as a pilot. He's not even in a wing with the other guy, nor is the FdL attacking him. He's basically just giving the final nudge as the nerdy little sidekick of one of the two combat pilots. :p

Interesting. How experienced is the FDL pilot in PvP? (there's a couple of tell tale signs that suggest to me that they might not be used to either PvP or their loadout) What load out was he packing? And why is he already at 35% hull at the start of the video?

The OP jumped onto the battered FDL who was already engaged. :)

Pretty verminous behavior really [haha]

....or he saved another cmdr from a wanted criminal in an apex ship who was picking on a weaker ship...perspectives are a wonderful thing!!

Call me cynical, but it's almost like you two have an agenda based on your dislike of the OP (for playing a spaceship game in a manner that displeases you - now that is worthy of this emoji! [haha] ) :p

You're correct DD. The other CMDR was being attacked by the Wanted FDL, I came upon the fight and stepped in. He thanked me for helping him once the FDL was toast.

Poll: Should I post the entire video? It's long, and attention spans can be very short, which is something I learned after posting my 10 minute Thargoid interdiction video (one of the first BTW, actually got a mention in ARS Technica).

Sure, we're the one with the 'dislike against the OP.' Remind me again, which person in this topic got repeatedly banned for holding a grudge and going ape about it? What I posted was factually true, spin it as you want. Try to keep the nasty disease-wishing parts out this time. :) Notice how the terribly evil ganker at no point tried to flee btw.

But sure, we have an agenda. An evil agenda, no doubt!

Just post the relevant bit. You know, from the moment you noticed the FDL.

Bringing an fdl from 45% to 35% seconds after dropping into the hazres is long huh? You messed up op.
 
Hey OP, how about you clear your save and uninstall the game? Dont forget to record and post it here, imagine the atention and positive response you'd be getting [up]

That was a very opportunistic gank you got on a new FDL pilot. If he was actually experienced in that thing and had it kitted out 45% or no he would have come around on the 2 of you and wrecked your world. Gankers gonna gank!
 
An inexperienced FDL pilot? [haha]

I don't understand the hostility. It's always interesting to see non-standard loadouts. Thanks OP

Go for it. Personally I like the longer videos as they give more context and more chance to check out people's tactics and flying. The whole fun of PvP videos is if they can show me something I haven't seen before, something fun or something I can learn from, or all of the above :)
