http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dodbxllghsmQuick sortie this afternoon. I present in this in the spirit of peaceable discourse, as a demonstration that prudent flying in an energy fighter is not nessecarily skill-less flying.
Connected to the server, went into the lobby, saw that my squaddie Lambo was online. Turned out, he was Bish instead of Knits on account of their low numbers, fighting the horde. So I switched over. Took up a D9, grabbed some alt, headed over. Had these three decent engagements, none of which involved ganging or cherry-picking. I realize I did some "controversial" things, such as getting alt, and, as I was alone, refusing to engage anything but lone fighters. Perhaps some of you will feel it was gutless to allow the Pony and Zero to escape because I refused to be drug by them into a cloud of enemy fighters...*shrug*, If that is gutless, guilty as charged.
Oh, and I'm not posting this as a brag, or some sort of pronouncement of elite skill, I know I'm not, I make mistakes whenever I fly. Particularly, feel free to point and laugh at my relative ineptitude at gunnery which allowed the HO Pony and the Zero to slip through my fingers. I was a little mad at myself too, so I RTBed for dinner before I screwed up any worse, hoping that the 190D9 would pursue me away from his friends so I could get another kill in. He did not. Still, I suppose getting a good firing position on three more maneuverable fighters using basic E fighting is a small victory for a relatively inexperienced stick like myself.
I claim one Spit destroyed, one Zero damaged, and one Pony...embarassed maybe?
<S> All
