I was fighting a player today and he was quite a bit away from me and I couldnt get enough hits into him. So I decided to cruise up to him to get closer then wait for my ship to recharge so I can continue shooting him. Bearing in mind I would have to take hits before I could begin firing my guns.
Now I was not aware of how to operate the EK Charge Tactic until seeing Sindroms 6 year old video on it today.
But I noticed with the EK Charge Tactic your core does not instantly recharge to 100% after cruising which is what happened to me.
So I am trying to understand what happened that would cause my core to go to 100% instantly?
I was testing the EK Charge Tactic today, but could not replicate the instant recharge I experienced during my earlier fight.
The only thing I can think of that the enemy ship had which could have caused this, was a pulse turret.
What happened:
I charged up to him got within 1300m stopped cruise, my speed went down to 90 then my core recharged to 100% instantly. He was shooting pulses at me when I stopped cruising. So could this be the reason?
