Good evening, esteemed colleagues and Professors.

I understand it's a shame there were no word from me for quite some time. As such, i am going to make up for this with this brief yet saturated report.

Mentorship.

The basics combat training with Mr. Spang in Connecticut Virtual Reality simulation system. It was concluded that Mr.Spang is well aware of his flaws and has will to learn, get better and overcome his flaw, however, I suggest further combat training within Virtual Reality simulation system, and i am ready to make sure of his improvement myself. Tomorrow we are going to attend the combat training for some more time.

[23.06.2018 21:08:25] Felicity.: So, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:08:38] Jack.S: Ms. Willing
[23.06.2018 21:08:44] Felicity.: Shall we commence?
[23.06.2018 21:09:11] Jack.S: this shall be my first combat experience
[23.06.2018 21:09:24] Felicity.: No problem. We all have to start somewhere.
[23.06.2018 21:09:32] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready.
[23.06.2018 21:13:08] Death: Azu.Kazama suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[23.06.2018 21:14:14] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Gun).
[23.06.2018 21:16:28] Jack.S: how did I do?
[23.06.2018 21:16:53] Felicity.: Now, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:17:08] Felicity.: I suppose i should describe my observations.
[23.06.2018 21:17:18] Felicity.: There would be two moments.
[23.06.2018 21:17:28] Felicity.: First - is how you move.
[23.06.2018 21:17:41] Felicity.: It is too... easy to predict, honestly.
[23.06.2018 21:17:58] Felicity.: Do you have your strafe control enabled?
[23.06.2018 21:18:19] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 21:18:57] Felicity.: Despite that, i have seen you charging towards me in a straight line, without using strafe, is that right?
[23.06.2018 21:19:35] Felicity.: Keep in mind that strafe is one of the very basics of the combat, that ensures your longer survival during the combat.
[23.06.2018 21:19:41] Felicity.: If you happen to be caught in one.
[23.06.2018 21:20:00] Felicity.: And Vindicator benefits the most from strafing up and down.
[23.06.2018 21:20:05] Felicity.: How do you think - why?
[23.06.2018 21:20:23] Jack.S: smaller target?
[23.06.2018 21:20:49] Felicity.: That's about right. It has slim shape.
[23.06.2018 21:21:34] Felicity.: Imagine a branch that is moving up and down and that you are trying to hit by throwing rocks into it.
[23.06.2018 21:21:39] Felicity.: Is it easy?
[23.06.2018 21:21:52] Felicity.: Like, how easy can you perform this?
[23.06.2018 21:22:11] Felicity.: I know it might be too simplified, but that is how it works.
[23.06.2018 21:22:12] Jack.S: not easily, but from practiser
[23.06.2018 21:22:53] Felicity.: And the second moment.
[23.06.2018 21:22:59] Felicity.: The early turns.
[23.06.2018 21:23:31] Jack.S: Mine bait???
[23.06.2018 21:23:46] Felicity.: Throughout our combat, for a fair amount of time i was able to keep up with you by just standing in one place, reversing and
[23.06.2018 21:23:56] Felicity.: following your ship with my aim.
[23.06.2018 21:24:12] Felicity.: The early, turns, i told you.
[23.06.2018 21:24:49] Felicity.: Basically, to perform an early turn, you should engage engine kill, then start turning at approximately 200 meters distance-
[23.06.2018 21:24:53] Felicity.: -with your opponent.
[23.06.2018 21:25:28] Felicity.: As he bypasses you - reverse and move to the edge at which he have turned while strafing in the opposite direction.
[23.06.2018 21:25:48] Felicity.: Like, if he turned right - you should turn right as well, but strafe to the left.
[23.06.2018 21:25:59] Felicity.: All while reversing.
[23.06.2018 21:26:36] Felicity.: Now, let's train your strafing a bit.
[23.06.2018 21:26:45] Jack.S: ok
[23.06.2018 21:26:56] Felicity.: I will be enganing you with hullbusters. Stand in one place and try to evade as best as you can.
[23.06.2018 21:27:03] Felicity.: Remember the slim shape benefits.
[23.06.2018 21:27:10] Felicity.: Let's do this.
[23.06.2018 21:37:28] Felicity.: Now, Mr. Spang. Do you have the basic understanding of how the strafing works, and how it prolongs your life in combat?
[23.06.2018 21:37:54] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 21:38:15] Felicity.: Good. Then, let us move to something slightly more advanced.
[23.06.2018 21:38:26] Felicity.: The technique is called 'boxing'.
[23.06.2018 21:38:40] Felicity.: Basically similiar to strafe, is still has some difference.
[23.06.2018 21:39:18] Felicity.: As a first maneuver for the boxing, reverse until you reach the maximum reverse speed of 15, and activate engine kill.
[23.06.2018 21:40:15] Felicity.: Now process the consequent moves: up-right-down-left. Then repeat them a few times.
[23.06.2018 21:41:18] Felicity.: Watch the mines, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:41:30] Felicity.: Did you get the basic concept of boxing?
[23.06.2018 21:41:41] Felicity.: Show me.
[23.06.2018 21:42:08] Felicity.: Reverse-engine kill-strafe up-right-down-left.
[23.06.2018 21:42:13] Jack.S: yes..
[23.06.2018 21:42:15] Felicity.: The opposite direction works too.
[23.06.2018 21:42:54] Felicity.: Good. Pretty much that, but try to travel lesser distances while boxing.
[23.06.2018 21:43:11] Felicity.: Be swift, it will give your opponent less chances to hit you.
[23.06.2018 21:43:53] Felicity.: This technique also has it's advantages over strafe and fits best into a close combat.
[23.06.2018 21:44:18] Felicity.: You just move, focusing less on evasion and better on hitting your target while already evading.
[23.06.2018 21:44:31] Felicity.: With practice you will develop this into a reflex.
[23.06.2018 21:44:48] Felicity.: You will still be dodging, it will make your aim easier.
[23.06.2018 21:45:02] Felicity.: And you will still be gaining distance with your opponent while dodging.
[23.06.2018 21:45:13] Felicity.: Which will make him to charge at you at some point.
[23.06.2018 21:45:48] Felicity.: Is this clear enough?
[23.06.2018 21:46:03] Jack.S: yes
[23.06.2018 21:46:25] Felicity.: Are you ready to try and fight me once again? Try to utilise what we have just discussed.
[23.06.2018 21:46:39] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready.
[23.06.2018 21:46:44] Jack.S: may I dock and re-equip first?
[23.06.2018 21:46:51] Felicity.: Sure. Go for it.
[23.06.2018 21:49:37] Felicity.: Are you ready, Mr. Spang?
[23.06.2018 21:49:58] Jack.S: as ready as I'll ever be...
[23.06.2018 21:50:03] Felicity.: Let's dance.
[23.06.2018 21:52:26] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Mine).
[23.06.2018 21:53:35] Felicity.: Mr. Spang, please, do not get too upset over what have just happened.
[23.06.2018 21:53:42] Felicity.: Practice is the key to perfection.
[23.06.2018 21:53:50] Felicity.: However.
[23.06.2018 21:53:57] Felicity.: Try to also be more mobile.
[23.06.2018 21:54:15] Felicity.: Your movements are honestly too slow, which leaves you exposed to me.
[23.06.2018 21:54:23] Felicity.: And never charge in a straight line.
[23.06.2018 21:54:32] Jack.S: I felt I lasted longer when I wasn't trying to think about boxing and reversing...
[23.06.2018 21:55:02] Felicity.: Back then i refrained from using my ammo.
[23.06.2018 21:55:10] Felicity.: That was the difference.
[23.06.2018 21:55:20] Felicity.: Perhaps, this was a little too harsh.
[23.06.2018 21:55:35] Felicity.: But the real opponents won't be kind to you, trust me.
[23.06.2018 21:55:50] Felicity.: They will throw everything they have at you with no doubts, but an intention to kill.
[23.06.2018 21:56:09] Felicity.: Watching over those aspects is essential.
[23.06.2018 21:56:26] Felicity.: Charging in a straight line makes you exposed to mines.
[23.06.2018 21:56:30] Jack.S: And now you know why I chose the influence mastery to start with...
[23.06.2018 21:56:53] Felicity.: I see.
[23.06.2018 21:57:09] Felicity.: But i am here trying to help you to get better.
[23.06.2018 21:57:20] Felicity.: At least, to handle yourself in the very basics of combat.
[23.06.2018 21:58:01] Felicity.: I even heard people talking things like: "The more harsh your instructor is - the better you prepared for the real fight".
[23.06.2018 21:58:06] Felicity.: And they were god damn right.
[23.06.2018 21:58:57] Felicity.: Getting you into the form will take plenty of effort.
[23.06.2018 21:59:09] Felicity.: But we will manage this together.
[23.06.2018 21:59:18] Jack.S: I can understand that... It's how I learn't how to swim back on planet Leeds...
[23.06.2018 21:59:26] Felicity.: I will support you on all your way through.
[23.06.2018 21:59:53] Felicity.: So it's not for the first time you overcome complications to get somewhat stronger than you were.
[23.06.2018 22:00:02] Felicity.: Then you see the point of this, i suppose.
[23.06.2018 22:00:42] Jack.S: No... but the first time I drowned... at least here I have an escape pod and can avoid dying...
[23.06.2018 22:00:51] Felicity.: Let's fight again. Use everything you've got.
[23.06.2018 22:00:59] Felicity.: I will stick to guns only.
[23.06.2018 22:01:09] Felicity.: Let's go.
[23.06.2018 22:01:23] Jack.S: Iforgot to load any ammo
[23.06.2018 22:01:39] Felicity.: Get some if you need.
[23.06.2018 22:02:00] Jack.S: there we go...
[23.06.2018 22:02:16] Felicity.: Why aren't you using cruise disruptor instead of Firestalker missiles?
[23.06.2018 22:02:37] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready, Mr.Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:04:17] Felicity.: Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:04:23] Felicity.: Use your thrust.
[23.06.2018 22:07:08] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Gun).
[23.06.2018 22:08:40] Felicity.: Mr.Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:08:50] Felicity.: I still encourage you not to stay in one place for so long.
[23.06.2018 22:09:03] Felicity.: And use your thrust more actively for offense rather than running.
[23.06.2018 22:09:49] Felicity.: The duel of two fighters is, basically, composed of Face each other-charge-shoot-turn-repeat.
[23.06.2018 22:10:20] Felicity.: There are, of course, much more advanced moments.
[23.06.2018 22:10:25] Jack.S: what advise to you have for my weapon loadout?
[23.06.2018 22:10:48] Felicity.: So, you are using the 3.03 Hellflurries, right?
[23.06.2018 22:11:10] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 22:11:11] Felicity.: Perhaps you should try and stick to my variant of our guns.
[23.06.2018 22:11:21] Felicity.: And replace your debiliators with Mark II.
[23.06.2018 22:11:48] Felicity.: The formidable alternative would be Garand Mark VIII.
[23.06.2018 22:11:56] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[23.06.2018 22:12:11] Felicity.: Liberty civilian technology, still a decent weapon to possess.
[23.06.2018 22:12:27] Felicity.: What i am trying to bring you to is... do not be afraid to try something new.
[23.06.2018 22:12:44] Felicity.: If you don't feel confident with that weapons - try the alternatives.
[23.06.2018 22:12:52] Felicity.: Pick what suits YOU best.
[23.06.2018 22:13:28] Felicity.: I assume we shall conclude on this for today.
[23.06.2018 22:13:42] Felicity.: Take some time to consider what i have explained to you today.
[23.06.2018 22:13:50] Jack.S: I always thought more power was better.... but I suppose thats just my gene's speaking...
[23.06.2018 22:13:51] Felicity.: And, perhaps, reconsider your weapon of choice.
[23.06.2018 22:14:09] Felicity.: As Professors do always say - be creative.
[23.06.2018 22:14:23] Felicity.: Farewell until next time, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:14:34] Felicity.: Don't worry, we will get you into the proper form.
[23.06.2018 22:14:38] Jack.S: Thank you for the lessons Ms. Willing
[23.06.2018 22:14:43] Felicity.: You're welcome.
[23.06.2018 22:14:48] Felicity.: We shall meet tomorrow.
