Version 5.0 "Fire and Fortune" - Everything I DISLIKED Part 1 - Balance and Stuff

[JadeTornado]

I might voice an unpopular opinion, but the snub gameplay was dead to me since the fighter rebalance, before the 5.0. Buffing the agility and valuing maneuvers more than aiming just killed my motivation to improve on that said maneuvering. Because I could aim. There are lots of really competitive games in which good aim can bring you a formidable result. Surely it can't rival with experience and knowledge in the long term, but I wasn't pretending like I'm much higher than an average duelist. I feel that my advantage has been taken away from me in favor of more experienced players, who already could beat most of the players on the server, including me, without it. I don't understand how intense maneuvering, or as I call it "twelve buttons jerking" can be interesting for a beginner, or mastering at all. I don't want to belittle the abilities of the people who have mastered it, all the techniques and tricks are important, but I'm confused as to why these tricks have become the main way to win, and not a temporary advantage due to dueling experience. I am sad to see this is projected on capital ships gameplay. In fact, I'm so demotivated by the reviews about something bigger than a gunboat, that I am not learning how to combat on a GB and waiting for it's nerf, so that PVP in Disco would end for me. Please balance this with something in the middle instead of the past and current extremes.

In a live role playing environment, you are not owed or mandated to be given a duel. Fights develop differently every time and people have varying degree of time to log on their hands or have their own plans.
