Range, what?

[Black Rose]

Here is a vid that will help anyone that is interested in refining their combat skills.

Especially the bit about range

That's why my ASP is not shit in combat.......

Same tactics I use.......

Never off the thrusters.....Mix in boost and a little FA off if needed......

Only my distance with the multis is a bit closer......Under 200....Closer to 100.....Kissing the pilot if possible.....

Me too, but I don't kiss the pilot.



It might be Kharma.

I have to use all those tricks just to keep the thing flying relatively normally in a Cutter.

I've found if I boost-turn to align to a nav target I want to jump to, it can take about 20 seconds for the ship to regain a normal flight path, even though it looks for all the world like it is flying straight... the only giveaway is the little star-like streaks. I have to do another boost pointed straight to avoid twiddling my thumbs while the computer tells me to align to my frameshift target. I have to pull a maneuver similar to what he suggests with circling an asteroid while always facing it to align to the mailslot if I drop down at an angle, and often do so in FA-Off, so I have plenty of time to request docking without losing time maneuvering. (The ship keeps going) I then have to give full opposite thrust for a few seconds to level out.

Now, if he has tips for maintaining dominant position in a large ship, that would be interesting. I almost always have the better shields, so I usually adopt the "Come at me, bro!" stance in combat.

If you watch any of the vids, there is a quite a long list of others he's done, or if you subscribe to his page he may have an index of the vids he's done.

I've seen some of his vids and learnt a bit more about combat. But usually his combat vids involve an FDL which I don't fly.

Vindicator Jones has several helpful videos on his youtube channel.

It's definitely worth checking out!

Well, he already helped me with the base assaults hugely. I'll probably have to look at some other vids tomorrow when I'm working from home. (This is the slow season at work.)
