I've come to the conclusion that my PvP skills, while not exactly terrible, aren't up to snuff. I need practice, lots of it. Unfortunately, most of my characters are either neutral to most or just non-combative, with the exceptions of my Privateer and Order characters. But neither of those have an easily available selection of potential opponents (flying a Hussar into Kusari, often solo, not a good idea, and my Order isn't going to raid NY or attack BH BCs in the Omicrons). So I'm thinking I need a new character with both ample reason and opportunity to do a bit of dogfighting.

At the moment, I'm thinking of making a BHG, either in a bomber (oh, I suck so much in bombers, at least the Challenger) or a Hammerhead (heard good things). Plenty of bounty opportunities out there, and plenty of pirates who'd welcome a chance to fight a Hunter in something other than a capship. Xenos get plenty of fighting done, but more often than not it's a large fight with several people on both sides, and I'm trying to focus on more 'personal' combat. Likewise, a Liberty lawful doesn't appeal to me.

Any other suggestions?

should just scream in BAF chat for some training, either just templar vs templar or we can hop over to joint training with LN should all the pieces fall together, latter is probably more productive, as the templar and challenger are hardly the hardest to hit.

I think we have a training eagle somewhere, too.

I would personally suggest the Bounty Hunter Manta instead of the Hammerhead. The Hammerhead doesn't have much energy and it drains fast.

Also if you want any pvp training contact me, i consider myself quite a good fighter/bomber pilot when it comes to fighting against other fighter/bombers.

[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

Become a pirate in NY with a bomber. You'll fight so many cap ships daily, soon you'll be pro =D

I can fully recommend BH or Merc, depending on which side of the fence you want to fly on. Hammerhead is good to fly.

Also, an indie Molly is good fun with plenty of opportunity for dogfighting. The Greyhound is a great ship.

I agree with you there, the problem i have with it is that it runs out of energy to fast, and then your enemy (most likely in ships with more energy) get the chace to take you down whilst you can't fire:(.

I suggest a Mercenary as the role is broader in terms of things you can do. Also, you won't carry with yourself the BHG stigma and pirates won't (usually) jump you out of the blue.

I have to agree with Gronath there. My two merc characters, one mandalorian and my indy, both get a lot of solo PVP. Mainly because I choose to fly alone most of the time with those characters.

I'm gunna have to say something about the hammerhead here. It is an -awesome- ship, it's made of paper, but the agility of it more than makes up for the fact. I suggest two adv debs and four buckshots, with a torp.
