I was in a C4 the other day - but not yours. I'll keep an eye out for Penny.

You recognised your target, understood how the engagement should go for you to prevail, preloaded your guns with the right ammo, and prepared to dictate the range. That sounds like good piloting to me.pjharveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087113822977971310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540433413142393315.post-90597874731152431182013-02-19T08:23:26.433-08:002013-02-19T08:23:26.433-08:00I'm of the same mind - I've been flying sl...I'm of the same mind - I've been flying slashers more than rifters lately and having great fun with them.

For most parts, the Slasher does better at the range-dictation game due to superior speed and agility.

A switch in maneuvering here, a change in ammo there, and it could be totally different. <br /><br />I was just glad to have a fight where my rusty old rifter came out victorious. It still can happen. I think many of the frigates now are capable and we're seeing a lot more variety in space than we did back before the balancing. It's fun.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!Jack Dancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759682366213590631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540433413142393315.post-2735104468417128162013-02-18T03:12:38.096-08:002013-02-18T03:12:38.096-08:00not wanting to step on anyones toes here, but a ca...not wanting to step on anyones toes here, but a capable pilot would have carried some null just incase<br />atleast it would have put him back in the fight<br />Pirate Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540433413142393315.post-10391774175109733702013-02-18T00:26:54.067-08:002013-02-18T00:26:54.067-08:00I tend to hit the approach button when I fly my Me...I tend to hit the approach button when I fly my Merlins against Rifters.
