When I fight I never “let” anyone live. They either escape or I gotta bounce to avoid getting MY goose cooked. You are a better man than I, for allowing them to live
That was amazing, I know it's a little late replying but awesome video man. I enjoyed watching you tear those shields up. If they hadn't gone back to the station and repair you definitely would've done them all in. I like you letting them go but they definitely deserved to go up in a puff of smoke. Got a sub here.
Well the ship you are counting as a 4th is actually one of the first two condas i dropped to 4/5 % and let live but he went and repaired and came back out to try and reclaim his honor... unless you are counting one of the npc's which I purposely didnt count.
Ya I should have but I have the tendency to let weaker ships go since my ship is pretty strong but there would've been nothing wrong with popping these guys here.
2 heatsinks, 6 boosters, mix of resist augmented, HD and thermal resist. My shields are around 4000 with really good resist but at the time resist was meta and I haven't really played since 2.3 so I don't know what the current meta is. Prismatic shield generator and everything is g5 modded. oh and 2 7a scb's with hull mods/reinforcments in the rest of the internal slots. Except one for the fighter bay. Keep it classy out there. o7
That’s such an insane gap. This is why most of the community runs or combat logs from pvp. I got 5k shields and armor with engineering as a pose to the 1200 shields and three thousand Hull I’d have without. Nobody seemed to balance that when engineers came out
Ya seems to me the only thing they really got right with this game are the ship looks/sounds/handling everything else in the game is mediocre to shit. Grind to make money, grind to earn rep, grind to engineer ships only to have things like heat meta or the heat cannon glitch after they patched heat meta and then there are the things like the bug to farm high end mats very quickly and the unlimited g5 rolls as long as you had enough mats for one g5 roll on you.. on and on and on. I left out most of them just because it would take to long to type out everything but I got fed up and stopped playing because of all the broken shit in this game. Its like no one that worked there played the game and knew what it was really like in-game.
ELxBlancoDiablo Been said before, but I’ll say it again.....lazy devs, or maybe a lead dev trying to do coding a few notches above his competency level?
Engineered Federal Corvette vs a swarm of security force fighters, 1 Fed Corvette, and 2 Anacondas (one of which returned fully repaired after getting his ass handed to him grilled very well done). That was extremely enjoyable to watch. And what a coward to get let off easy and just come back to poke the Sasquatch. Are you really that triggered dude? He deserved a sidewinder rebuy.
It's an awesome vid, but would you recommend the build for straight pvp?. My pve vette's long range fixed beams have downed a few overzealous pvp folk running similar setups by.... Flying backwards-ish with FA off and staying out of range. Makes for a boring fight, though, and this looks much more fun.
This build and all my builds were meant specifically for pvp, for me I had the best luck with mc's because I am not great and didn't want to practice at landing shots with PA's and I was to lazy to try a cannon build so Ive always been MC focused and Ive good luck with them. Generally only losing when I fucked up, the person I was fighting had a stronger ship then me(almost always their shields) or I got gangbanged. That being said I haven't really played since 2.3 and even then PA's especially APA's were very strong for pvp, as well as heat cannons(I think those were fixed/nerfed). So yes I would recommend this build for pvp but that does not mean there arnt better builds out there, this is just what worked best for me. The biggest thing to note is more time spent engineering means more god rolls which means a stonger ship. Both on offense and defense, people keep saying how strong my shields are in the comments but if I had the patience to spend more time engineering they could be substantially stonger and my dps could be a lot higher as well. If you want to find out what is currently best for pvp I would recommend reddit/discord as there are several discords just to help ppl get better at pvp.
So those are "Deadly" players? Ok, one Expert... Still. Pathetic! :D Nice flying man, fully fixed Corvette, I like that. Maybe I will dust off mine and try it too. :)
The problem with engineers is not the fact that they can completely change how a weapon performs and behaves but the problem is that weapon modifications are locked behind horizons and therefor any player without horizons isn't going to do much against any engineered ship. For example let's say there's a normal A rated FDL vs a engineered FDL, chances are that the none engineered FDL will lose every-time. Anyway that's the reason why I don't follow wanted ships when I leave the station but instead I get the old gun-boat out and I just enter silent running, waiting for any wanted ship then I fire off the torpedoes.
Buy horizons? It's fun to be able to land on planets. You speak of it as if it is pay-to-win. It's another large segment of content that they implemented optionally without making "Elite Dangerous 2" and splitting the player base.
My faction has combated players like this, we are on PS4 and its bs how they challenge you to 1 v 1 and the whole gank squad jump in when their clan mate is a bout to eat a rebuy. this is why i dont do open duels. PG duels only, which most gankers never agree too. cowards. nice fight man.
my grand strategy for beating anyone in a ship is by staying behind them as close as possible so when they try to turn you just with them while being being while shooting its very effective
aldous Guloy Let’s say you’re behind me, all I would have to do is boost, and then as I hit max speed, switch FA off and turn around so that I’m facing you but we’re going in the same direction...
Damn I can't wait to finish my Vette to G5 on everything, the shields are similar to yours in that I've got 4,200 strength and 40% resistances on average, but absolutely all my utilities are boosters so I'm hoping for some epic results when I'm done..What engineering did you do on those SCB's?
I... I don't understand, I've always wanted to play elite dangerous but never got my hands on it so I have no clue of what is happening please explain to a noob
How does the engineering in the game actually work? Are there guides? I've only played solo up to this point. Don't have the cash to risk piling up rebuys
inara.cz/galaxy-engineers/ those are all the engineers, if you click on them it will tell you how to unlock them, some are easy, some take a long time but not as long as you will spend time grinding mats for rolls. GL o7
are those rapid fire c4's or overcharged? they seem way faster than mine :< Also great video, you would have gotten that last vette if they annie's didn't repair and return
I believe they were RF but it has been awhile so I may be wrong but I wanna say RF... I think I tweaked my build shortly after this fight and may have switched to OC because they put off less heat but Im also not 100% sure about that, I havent played much since 2.3 dropped...
Could you post a coriolis build of your setup please? I have an anaconda and I would like to see what a top tier combat ship looks like in terms of numbers so I have a reference when I get around to engineering it.
I dont have a coriolis build ready to go, but SOP on a vette is generally 2 heatsinks, 6 boosters, 2 7a scbs, rest hull mods with w/e weapon setup you run, I run rails and mc's. And everything is g5 modded.
Goog flying commander! Your on pc or xbox? Very strong shields! Whats your mj on your shields? My vette has 4300 mj currently, prismatic shields g5 reinforced) 4 g5 heavy duty boosters and 2 g5 resistence augmented boosters ... not sure if is's worth to further minmax the shield setup, a reference value would be great .... greetings from germany and o7
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this game feels very pay to win-ish. I got the "Core" edition from a few years ago and every time I try to get into it a pay wall stops me from keep going further. Can't get a decent jump range or I get completely destroyed in combat. Want to do missions? oh my bad I forgot a that all most half of them need the DLC to function. This game needs horizon or you're just gonna get the short end of the stick.
I'd lose a fight with you but I'd definitely try knowing you'd be a good sport and let me go for repairs lol my prismatics wouldn't have tolerated half of that lol will need to grade 5 reinforce them i guess
mix of overcharged and rapid fire with incendiary and one with the mod that increases hull damage, do not rem what it is called. I switched to mostly rapid fire and a few over-charged with no mods on most of them shortly after this because everyone was starting to stack thermal resist and incend + rapid fire puts off ALOT of heat. Most of the heat I receive in this fight was from my guns(other then when popping scb's). I have not played in a long time though so I would recommend further research on what is viable for pvp atm before you spend a bunch of time grinding out mods.
And this is a perfect example of why I hate PVP. Unless you have the highest tier of grade A engineered modules, and shields topping off at 2,000MJ +, you're fucked.
ya I love what engineering can do to your ship but pvp would actually be better without it imo, but I really wanted to pvp a lot so I put a lot of time in to make a beast FDL and Vette
ELxBlancoDiablo Exactly. I don't mind mods like increased FSD range, or some of the more unique effects like healing lasers, but the mods that give just a flat damage or defense buff are really quite dull.
Its not about spamming, its about using them at the right time so you dont waste mj's or get popped while they are recharging and trying not to get hit by scb rails while doing it. While also doing damage and managing your pips, watching your scanners/temp... but ya in general I see what you mean...
ELxBlancoDiablo Eh, what I find most interesting is that they were using the heat meta to cook your modules, and it was rather effective... I find that strategy more annoying than the "spam sc and heat sink" strategy.
Effective enough that I could have killed two of them but let them live and the third one would have popped if it wasnt for cops and one of the condas that I let live coming back.
ELxBlancoDiablo Oh come on, all you do is sit straight infront of them and shield tank the hits, no fancy manouvring whatsoever, the balance between weapon damage and shields on the large three ships is completely broken, even when the weapons are engineerd, that is exactly why 99% uses anaconda, corvette, cutter or fer de lance, for the booster stacking, i cannot wait till FD finally introduces the roll off returns for boosters when stacking more then four boosters, that will even out the play field and make fights exiting again.
My FDL PAs with thermal conduit do 1000 damage per volley (Without the +30% damage from synthesis.)... just saying.. plus their is the whole cascade torpedos that completely destroy the shield generator. There are ways around the shield meta, it just requires you to dedicate and entire ship to it.. =/ Also.. there is a rail gun modification that reduces the effectiveness of SCBs.
Mann I hate this (these condas not your vid ;D ) these newbie condas always think they are imortal and take their mouth to full, I'm a elite conda pilot aswell and worked my way up to the conda
Ya but I have a friend in exo whose Conda I actually lost a duel to and my ship was a similar setup to whats in this vid. And if he beat my vette then he is beating 90% of the vettes out there with that build.
Ya but I had a tendency to let ships that were clearly inferior to mine go and those condas were an absolute joke. Now if I had a chance to kill that vette I would've but I ran out of hintsinks and two of my mc's were not working at the end so he got off lucky.
No it does not, but it does make you a salty snowflake with a very obvious chip on your shoulder. You must not be very good to be so easily offended by a video of some noobs like yourself getting rekt.
jezus christ those are some strong shields.
This is nothing compare to my cutter
I miss the old days, when combat was about skills and not simply engineering...
Frank Borman, "A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill."
Engineering isn't a bad idea, but the implementation is not ideal.
enemy corvette flew like an npc i couldnt tell if he was a player at first..
This is a ridiculous show of strength. Well done. Hope my Corvette can fight something like that someday
Just gotta grind... a lot. GL o7
When I fight I never “let” anyone live. They either escape or I gotta bounce to avoid getting MY goose cooked. You are a better man than I, for allowing them to live
No Body you on xbox?
That was amazing, I know it's a little late replying but awesome video man. I enjoyed watching you tear those shields up. If they hadn't gone back to the station and repair you definitely would've done them all in. I like you letting them go but they definitely deserved to go up in a puff of smoke. Got a sub here.
Dude that was 1 v 4!!
Well the ship you are counting as a 4th is actually one of the first two condas i dropped to 4/5 % and let live but he went and repaired and came back out to try and reclaim his honor... unless you are counting one of the npc's which I purposely didnt count.
seeing this now, but you shoulda just killed them tbh. they wont learn otherwise. unless this was a friendly fight.
Ya I should have but I have the tendency to let weaker ships go since my ship is pretty strong but there would've been nothing wrong with popping these guys here.
You were classy (sparing them), they were not. Impressive shields for a Vette. Loadout?
2 heatsinks, 6 boosters, mix of resist augmented, HD and thermal resist. My shields are around 4000 with really good resist but at the time resist was meta and I haven't really played since 2.3 so I don't know what the current meta is. Prismatic shield generator and everything is g5 modded. oh and 2 7a scb's with hull mods/reinforcments in the rest of the internal slots. Except one for the fighter bay. Keep it classy out there. o7
They are fortunate your fighter pilot did not destroy them.
looooooooooooooool
nice fight dude....i wonder if those 3 thought "we suure showed him" ...lolz
Thanks, I dunno, kinda regret not killing the condas tbh...
The corvette battle between you 2 toward the end was the battle of the titans Jesus, both those shields refused to go down. Shields of steel lol.
Very good designed ship!
Very good fighting!!
Thanks!
The Corvette pilot was definitely engineered. The anacondas though.... Were definitely not.
That conda that got back 100% repaired after being rekt... such a coward. No respect at all.
ikr... and he farted at me too. I should have popped the bastard.
his wallet thanks you for teh mercey i'm sure, but maybe not in the long run (history repeats it's self, so do mistakes)

Which slot do you use for docking computer in a PvP build? 3 or 4? Also, do you carry a discovery scanner at all or not?
No docking computer or scanners but if you are gonna use put them in the smallest slots you can.
Great combat! What is your shield strength?
this was a long time ago and I don't play anymore but I think It was around 3900ish with good resist across the board.
would love to see what build you got. I saw the modules, but what kind of engineering? Also, what is a QQ? Lastly, great fight.
You just put the Stalin's sekrit dokumints inside the ship... O_O
And that is what I call HulkBuster.
how do you launch cell banks without switching fire groups?
check out the controls/options area, you can assign almost anything to any button or button combo you want
My faction has combated players like this, we are on PS4 and its bs how they challenge you to 1 v 1 and the whole gank squad jump in when their clan mate is a bout to eat a rebuy. this is why i dont do open duels. PG duels only, which most gankers never agree too. cowards. nice fight man.
At 4:20 you used a shield cell bank, but it doesn't show you switching to activate it? I'm noobing hard here can you explain please?
check out the controls area in the options/menu, you can assign almost any ship function to any button or button combo you want. o7

Nice fight! You still playing Elite?
No I miss it but I'm gonna wait for SC to get where it needs to then give that a go.
How do you engineer in this game, im still very new and have only done cargo and mining missions
The difference between fixed and gymballed weapons
i need vette but that grind
Well done, very impressive
o7
Could you post a coriolis build of your setup please? I have an anaconda and I would like to see what a top tier combat ship looks like in terms of numbers so I have a reference when I get around to engineering it.

I still think one must really suck at this game if they have to attack in 3 vs 1
sorry maybe 4 vs 1
and god what a lesson you taught to all of them
I'd lose a fight with you but I'd definitely try knowing you'd be a good sport and let me go for repairs lol my prismatics wouldn't have tolerated half of that lol will need to grade 5 reinforce them i guess

Let them live?
WHY HAVE MERCY!!!
I WAS WEAK
Glorious landing :P
Not only was that un engineered but had modules swapped from a python
lol o7
Jesus Christ that damage is absurd
Fighting is fun up until large ships.
Then it becomes shield stacking. Its like watching 2 kids throwing shit at each other.
IKR its awesome!
Nicefight cmdr, but you should've killed them when u had the chance.
agreed. o7
That was impressive...
o7
Just shows you how broken combat is !! Still comes down to spamming scb's and heat sinks
Its not about spamming, its about using them at the right time so you dont waste mj's or get popped while they are recharging and trying not to get hit by scb rails while doing it.

GOOD!!! Я БЫ ТЕБЕ ПОМОГ.
They nerfed engineers?
Some good pvp
I know one of them!
If they all had reverb cascade torps it would be different
Ya then it would have been even easier to kill them assuming they didn't run after they used their torps. Good point.
Lol I know one of them
Send them my regards. o7
I would of destroyed them, being nice doesn't get you anywhere with other players
Ya but I had a tendency to let ships that were clearly inferior to mine go and those condas were an absolute joke. Now if I had a chance to kill that vette I would've but I ran out of hintsinks and two of my mc's were not working at the end so he got off lucky.
This is why I will never PvP
it was nice of them to put in a solo mode
WhY u leaving
the third ship would never have him go alive
aaah ok
Darknicegamer96 security
sorry man, but flying a tank doesn´t make you a good pilot. call me back when you learn to use flight assist off
No it does not, but it does make you a salty snowflake with a very obvious chip on your shoulder. You must not be very good to be so easily offended by a video of some noobs like yourself getting rekt.
Did it.
CMDR F. Ravelli This is very stupid.
CMDR BouncyStickman Learn to fly without a ship. Then I'll be impressed
The odds were heavily in the team of 4’s favour, and he still dominated. If that’s not a good pilot, I don’t know what is.
