I advise it because most inexperienced fighters will be struggling in battle, and getting themselves killed is not something I'd want them to do, I assume you mean 3-1? well meh, if i were you i'd not fight against 3 people alone.
Anyway, a lot of the ships we fight can be difficult to match with a razor, you lose shields and you dont want to run at him again when you know he's probably going to razor you again without much trouble, the chimaera and the greyhound (for example) have quite small models but both have large powerplants that have no issue with razoring over and over, the Templar is a fleet fighter, its hard to hit outside of joust, but its razor is in a unique position to hit people without being in joust with them, coupled with good guns with the same core as the greyhound.
I guess I can feel that fighting against the templar group fighting style is annoying, but its our balance against fighting against our foes annoying style, those tiny ships.
(pretty much everything ive said has been stated by mjolnir in the paladin balance thread)
Is there anything else you've got to say about us in combat? some people say we spam missiles, I personally use paralyzers mostly (which im under the impression is not missilewhoring), and I say that 2missiles is in the minority, and not encouraged, though not against faction rules.
