I'm not so sure the Slipstream hit box is too inaccurate for its size. Its a very small ship to begin with, very manuverable and with decent fire power. A talented pilot, such as Basilisk, is able to manuver his craft to exploit the Slipstream's features. I can imagine that this combination is extremely frustrating to opponents who are used to bigger and less manuverable targets and may even seem as if a Slipstream is lagging (when using the thruster effectively).

I don't believe that the Slipstream cannot be hit or that it is even very difficult to hit. For example, I've fought Basilisk on numerous occasions and I have killed him or come to a draw with him on a lot of those occasions. He's good, but not mythical.

Furthermore, I think you have to be in the right mindset to fight a good lf pilot. Everytime I fight a slipstream, more specifically Basilisk, I am convinced I am going to be slaughtered and therefore I have to fight even harder. You can't go in thinking that you'll win just because you've got a bigger ship, more bots/bats and a ton more firepower, which is a mistake that I've seen many newer players make.
