PvP piracy and whatnot I can accept as part of the game, but gankers I think are more of a product of oversight in the game, rather than acceptable in-universe elements. In-universe, people like this would probably never make it through the Pilot's Federation to become CMDRs in the first place, and if they did, the in-universe authorities (which wouldn't function in the slightest as they exist in the game, so in lore would have to be stricter) would put them away for life, or just execute them.

Cobra 3 with hull upgrades is tough as nails. Once I was taking fire form 3 different imperial ships and didnt even notice until I started cycling through hostile contacts. Was probably getting shot at by them for 3 minutes and my hull was only down to 45%. Only left because I didnt want my canopy to break (was at like 25%)
excellent flying CMDR, i feel slightly less bad about that crushing defeat knowing who's hands it was at :) This was actually my first time against mines, you can see me hit one early on but I paid attention after that for sure. I'll also think twice before ramming a hull tank in the future. Yesterday I learned... o7
zbguresh pxre GG CMDR! I don’t know what it is about the Cobra, but it’s a devastating battering ram. None of the other small ships can pull it off, they do little damage and lose more HP, but the Cobra... ramming speed!! Lol
thank god you don't have the dishonor of losing to a noob... ...only the dishonor of being one who preys on noobs. Pick on someone your own size, pussy.
Man, Multi Cannons do nothing vs shields, lol. I feel if you had energy weapons that fight would have been over a long time ago. Excellent flying none the less! o7 cmdr! :) Great video!
Pookii Power that’s typically true with NPCs, but with engineering most players balance resistances so there is usually no benefits to using energy weapons.
My combat ship is an FDL. I don't do PVP, but my PVE experience tells me that Cobra IIIs are a real pain to hit. So narrow and small! Good choice for making the ganker scum look and feel stupid.
What the heck was that weapon discharge fine? At first I thought you where near a station, but didn't see any nearby. I really hope this isn't the garbage Frontier came up with to stop trolls from stream sniping them.
He wasnt targeted on the Ferdelance, so it was as if he had accidentally hit him with the multis with nothing else targeted. You're right, because the other player should have crimes on before that's reported
Another excellent engagement. Your shooting accuracy was impressive throughout. The FDL had very tough shields but seemed reluctant to go too offensive. Great game. 07 Commander.
He was accurate because his weapons are gimballed. Though running fixed MC's on a cobra is certain death for even the best pilots because the cobra cannot lateral.
Gankers, especially those who gank people who can't really defend themselves really prove how small their brains are, seriously you'll need an advanced microscope.
It's mostly their massive ego and them wanting to be the best player around. there's no excuse for ganking new players and "telling them it's not a handholding game" bullshit.

They are the type who's always bragging, working hard to make sure everyone else thinks they are smarter and better than those around them, but fall apart when their frailties are put on display. I totally agree about good quality pirate roleplaying - the ones who will let you go if you give them what they want, or give you a fight if you want it, and let you go without a rebuy if they defeat you - that's good fun for both parties. Sending someone who didn't want to fight to the rebuy screen just because you are a sad asshole - that's roleplaying a psychopath.
Most seal clubbers are garbage. This guy doesn't even know how to fly. His defeat, priceless. I went out in a orca and took out some ass in a vette that was clubbing. It's almost as if they choose to come here because they can't hold they're own in a fight.

Good watching. I hope he cried after.
7:22 that was brilliant. Those fdl types are only tough with active shields, when their shield breaks they run away because their paper thin hulls.
The dude he was fighting is still fairly new AND in a bi-weave. He's still learning.
Fairly new? He has a Dangerous ranking
To PvP
Bi weaves can still work well on an FDL. I've even ran a shieldless stealth one
Not if you’re new to PvP. Anyone experienced will delete you.
And the new drag changes makes Bi-weaves unusable.
