This whole problem is due to capitals using the e-kill, bounce in asteroid fields to gain the edge against enemies.
Now let's see how a e-kill bouncing capital in a asteroid field acts.
Quote:Aim to the asteroid field.
Thrust, turret view, shoot.
Bounce on asteroid, still shooting.
Bounce again on asteroid, still shooting.
Thrust to a random direction, still shooting.
Rinse, repeat.
It jumps all over the place, yes, loosing speed but not that much.
It just does it for a couple of seconds, then thrusts, rince repeat.
A capital ship doing that bouncing at thruster speed (120 Kph ~ 100 Kph) can dodge most of incoming fire.
While still shooting at its targets.
So we got a capital ship that normally is used to go against smalls (gunboats), other capitals (cruisers), whatever...
Dodging fire like it was a LF on steroids.
Capitals like dreads, carriers and such that don't have a thruster can't pull it off that well and probably fails half of the times when it tries to pull this off.
So ye.
It confers an abnormal direction switch at a high speed, that can be repeated in less than a second due to the densitiy of the asteroid fields, while in pvp, while the attacker has to stay on course, shooting, getting shot at and still have to dodge asteroids to get a clear shot on the guy that is bouncing everywhere like it was lagging.
But the guy is doing that on purpose.

Thus. Abuse.
