I got jumped by OP and two wing mates the other day while I was (stupidly) collecting HGE mats in a "hot" system. Totally caught me by surprise and I didn't show superior flight skillsI wasn't in a trader or explorer build but in a pvp FdL. I actually learned something new and very intriguing (flechette tactics). I don't get why the guy is getting so much heat for posting legit combat tactics. Here's what I say: thanks for sharing, cmdr!
Thanks for being good sport! I was going upload the video but audio didn’t record. I was surprised you didn’t go f/a off and used your speed to keep flechettes bombs at range. Realizing you were focused on me, I kept the our turn radius tight so my wingmates can land their flechettes more consistently.
when we took out Your drives, try going silent running and then reboot repair. Turn off flight assist so you’ll keep drifting away from the pack. And while in silent running, if we can’t target you, we can’t get a targeting solution.
Instead, you completed a full reboot. Thrusters came online and it made your ship stop completely. We switched to dumb fires shortly after.
Hope this helps next time your drives gets taken out by flechette bombers.
