1. Happens, learn to stear.
2. Learn to aim, it's your own fault.
3. Wanted? Or all the anaconda faction ships turned red? If it was the first one, its a bug, make a ticket.
4. Condas can pack a punch, be carefull next time.
5. Who gave you your pilots license?
6. Canopy is still the weakest part.
7. Plasma melts, what was your ship?were you with full shields?
8. Yes, FSD heats up alot, and if you're to close to a star, watch your skin boil.
9. Rush hour man...
10. Hahahahaha, sorry, those deaths are always funny
11. Takes skill to colide with something that big, gratz
12. Push it.... puuuuuussshhhh iiitttt

and I thought its about the horrible eploding animation.... everything looks great, and watching others explode looks damn awesome, but the own-death looks a little poor....

Yeah I'm not seeing the problem here, they all look like they are pretty much within the realm of normal game play. Except for 3 but I will explain that when I say what happened.

1) This happens, that's why you need to keep an eye on your radar and speed, and your target's movement.
2) Simple weapon's safety, situational awareness and all that.
3) This is probably the most dicey one that FD is going to fix, it has to do with factional aligning, for now use the KWS on every target and it won't get you wanted.
4) Two words, Plasma Accelerator it's devastating.
5) Full power to systems around stations, they have a much higher mass than you.
6) Read 4.
7) Read 4.
8) You have to watch your temps, try upgrading your reactor to get one that handles heat better, and don't boost right before supercruise, or jump to another system while close to a star. Heat destroys things fast in this game, kinda like real life.
9) Yeah they need a queue for the more popular stations, go out to the middle of no where, or go solo. I've done this when I had a mission I needed to turn in and couldn't get clearance, switch to solo and dock.
10) Yup they spin, and don't stop for a single ship, or a group of ships for that matter, when in doubt get out of the way.
11) See 1
12) NPC's are dumb, I usually find a way around them, but I'm in a Cobra right now so I can get skinny and squeeze past.

Hope some of these helped you, there are a lot of things to keep track of in this game, and it can get confusing at times. Sometimes it's best to take a break and come back later. Especially if you do like I did, went mining then accidentally boosted in to the rock I was drilling in... It didn't end well.

1. Fed steered into me
2. It's gimballed
3. Yep it was a bug
4. I did not expect it to kill me that fast, must have shot me with everything at once
5. I couldn't see there was a pole there (it was an outpost)
6. Yup
7. Full shields, after the plasma hit I was at 34%
8. Maybe the star was very dense
9. I was careless
10. Yup couldn't believe it at first
11. I was careless
12. Those things are unmovable

I just don't get it... I see youtube videos of Cobras and Vipers taking on Elite Anacondas while taking so much damage. I just get killed in a few seconds

The Anaconda has a weapon unique to it, It's called a Plasma Accelerator. When fired you can identify the shot as a purple-ish orb. It can kill a Cobra in less than 2 hits, It's killed my pimped out Viper in one shot on 3 occasions.

Trust me, if you're looking at the business end of an Anaconda, you better make sure you're moving laterally.

1. Avoid business end of an Anaconda (it's the pointy end in case you're wondering ;) )
2. Targeting Anaconda's power plant makes it go boom much quicker
3. Shield cells are your friends
4. Chaff launcher is also your friend
5. Thrusters are not there just for looks, they can do interesting things during a dogfight

You guys need to visit more stations. The plasma acce.. Is not a annaconda only weapon. Had one on the cobra for a while. There fun.

To expand on my most recent comment regarding this (above), I took a screenshot of the thing that's been killing you so easily.

Behold! The Plasma Accelerator!

By the way, is that a guided weapon?

Nope, dumbfire. if you're moving laterally even a little but it'll miss you, suprised they don't lead their shots at all, despite being ranked Elite.

Don't underestimate them though, i've had some really close shaves with that little purple ball of joy quite a few times up close. Usually happens when all relative velocity is cancelled out due to one of us changing direction and/or speed.

I've used them on my ships too, but according to an Elite source, they're unique to the Anaconda. Perhaps their version is a buffed version which can only be fitted to the Anaconda? Not entirely sure. It would at least explain why I couldn't 2 hit or even 1 hit ships in the same way.

I'll see if I can find where I read that. It's possible I miss-read it too.

It just a weapon class difference. Cobra can mount Class 2 plasmas which suck.
Anakonda, as only playable ship, can deploy Class 8 plasmas which are so fearsome. Also unique.

All because ATM the annaconda is the only ship with a class 8 slot does not make it unique.. /fail.. And I've taking on elite annacondas many times. Don't stop moving do not give it a chance to fave you. Stay on its rear side as much as possible.. Here is a pro tip. If you don't see the annaconda main thrusters your probally going to die.

I think that's the definition of unique, but whatever. Not really bothered about that.

I lost my eagle to low fuel trying to get towards Sol :'( I also lost a few sidewinders but there free :p I tried flying between the bars on a ring station at full speed... NOT A GOOD IDEA!
Also missed the exit port like an idiot.
Its funny because if I see any wanted ships which are my size in a no fire zone I just ram them and knock them on purpose :p Not died... yet.
