' Wrote:Most VHF's,and bombers will joust. Zig alot,and as they pass,hit reverse,spin around,and stay on their butt firing. Does wonders. In a big fight? wait till someone goes after your allies,and get on his/her butt.
Also if they start spamming mines? CD's do wonders.
Aye, capt'n!

Never let yourself be hit, never joust, and avoid mines.
Just keep moving...

Obviously.

Hit people while they're turning and never be around for when they're facing you.

I used to be a beast in a Light Fighter ( I know, hard to believe.) Piloting a light fighter takes skill, luck and patience. You have to be prepared for long long fights of constant dogging and thrusting. The key to light fighters... having a friend. 2 light fighters are devastating if flown well, more than that can be downright unfair.
By yourself, you have a couple of options,
1) All shield busters and a Nuke mine + CD
This one requires you to be good with the mine+CD combo.
2) All hull busters and a screamer mine + CD
Still requires you to be good with the mine + CD combo
3) Mix of 2 Class 7 shield busters, 2-3 Class 8 hull busters. Nuke mine, and either a Torp or a CD.
This is probably your best bet if you are not good with mines.
The biggest thing I can say is get good at using mines, and get good at dodging mines. If you are not good at both, you will have a hard time making your way as a LF pilot.
Edit: Corsair Tiger shark with Debs sanction....lol... just had to.:)

I almost only fly LFs, but I guess that's a natural consequence of spending
most of my FL time being chased and generally terrified by 9001 Sabres in my LPI Liberator/Patriot.
...And a natural consequence of not being able to fly anything else after well over 3 years of being in said faction flying mentioned LFs.
