How to cruiser (AMA?)

[Levenna]

After the better part of a year now of finding a variety of fun ways to, uh, let's say "use" cruiser movement, this was originally a guide written a few months ago in preparation to train a wolfpack of LSCs to take on Bretonia's Crecy crowd, but since a) that didn't happen (yet) and b) there have been some notable requests of some cruiser players to step up lately, and finally c) some of these tricks are likely to go out of date next patch anyway, I figured I would just share it here. It's also frankly not fun if I'm the only person doing it, bar the like three or four people I've taken the time so far to teach some of the below tricks.

This is, obviously, LSC focused, but nonetheless some notes on strafing, fleet fights, and knife fighting in cruisers should be fairly universally applicable.

If you do manage to master some of the strafing tricks described, I would humbly request you don't go around sealclubbing everyone with them. Those techniques will allow you to 1v1 kite quite literally anything larger than a cruiser (speaking from experience, including such things as thumper Osiris', terminator Murmillos, full razor battleships and other such alleged anti-cruiser ships) and it generally is a rather frustrating experience to play against. It can also work against cruisers, however it is considerably less reliable, especially if impacts or shards are involved.

The last thing I'd add is that this isn't a hack or cheat, it's extremely powerful when done right yes but most of the above guide will need to be practiced. Feel free to put your own spin on it, too. The guide is best used as a base. Experiment beyond it, see what works and what doesn't.

Finally, if anyone has any questions, I guess I'll answer them here? Turn it into something of an AMA for cruiser evasion, I guess.
