CD damage

[Reeves]

I can point out that ganking a light fighter isn't what most people would endorse unless someone went out of their way to be annoying.

It's a light fighter. It's not meant to withstand direct combat. There may be ways to work out that issue but your suggestions aren't any of them. Not to mention that some LFs are literally metal strapped to an engine, it's an obvious risk and not something that can be realistically rectified.

dude you are saying as if you are in a magical land. While you may think most people dont do it, the actual fact is that they do. They want the blue and it doesn't matter if someone is annoying or not.

Its also the future where a ships hull isn't made out of pape. CDs shouldn't be able to do damage to ships but they do, and people tend to abuse it pretty well.

In terms of nyx's post I have to strongly disagree because the way you perceive speed for LFs doesn't make sence.
if you are in cruise, you are fast. In pvp combat, you are not and its damn near impossible to shake a bank off and cruise when all people are doing is CDing the crap out of you. The moment you charge, you are a sitting duck. A good pvper can just sit constantly behind a lf and keep pressuring it, focusing it to dodge and thrust. Thrusting is the same speed. The only thing the lf has an advantage is the speed of the TURN.

Super fast light fighters dont exist like you describe and quite frankly, no, dont just say "its your fault"


All im pointing out is the abuse of CDs while a lf cannot already do anything in a gank situation.

I find little to no cohesion in your argument whatsoever. Yes, this is the future, armor is stronger. But guess what? So are the weapons being used against said armor.

To further counter you, the arrow's basically hull plates fixed into an engine. Light fighters like the scimitar are quite good if you can bother using them properly, just like virtually every other ship can be. Though this is mostly subjective.

To continue in countering you I could say that your perception of how light fighters should be doesn't make any sense in any realm of reasonable thought. Cruise disruptors pop, if you want to dabble into physics, a projectile moving at those speeds and then popping would most definitely cause some amount of damage.

If you're taking light fighters that aren't meant to fight into combat or just not using them properly, then yes, it is your fault.
