Hey folks..
So, I need some help. (I hope this is the right forum)
I haven't played all THAT much. I started in November 2016 and played hard for about 5 weeks. Got burnt out and took a break. Came back a few weeks ago. Having said that, I like to think that I'm at least a 'competent' combat pilot. I enjoy taking my Vulture into haz res's all day long. Not afraid to go 1 on 1 with any NPC ship. Same with the FDL... altho the Vulture is my baby and I prefer that play style by far.
Now... the Federal Assault Ship. Oh my word!! I just cannot get on with this ship. Now, I can take it into a high res and do 'fine'. But, how boring. When I take it into a haz res, I just get wrecked! Obviously this ship is SUPPOSED to be able to hull tank. Now, in my mind, that should really be the last resort. I do NOT find it fast enough or quick enough to play it like the Vulture, circle strafing, staying in blind spots, etc. Well, I don't know how else to play it. Staying in front of pretty much any ship just gets a rebuy.
So.. help a brother out. Is the FAS feasible or viable for haz res solo play? If so, HOW? What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Or do I just sell it and stick to the Vulture and Corvette for my combat cravings?
Appreciate any help.
