Capital Ship Flying

[Guest]

I think, that the biggest skill as a capital ship is to know When you are needed and How your actions will help those you fight with.

If you are a Support kind of capital ship, you are a Meat shield of sorts for your fighters and bombers, a ressupply point, you can carry SW missiles, nova torpedos for restocking your teammates.

If you are an offencive ship, then the task is simple, in a large fight involving caps, fighters and bombers, you WILL go down...so your soul task is to do as much damage to the enemy capital ships and anti fighter ships as possible. Priority targets are gunboats, as they will tear up your bombers and fighters. BSs cannot do so, without flack turrets, and it still is a skill to master.


The flying is even more complicated, you need to fly the ship so, that your aim is always on the enemy...but you are moving, evading incomming fire as much as you can.

You have to find the correct Sweetspot of your ships turning, the angle at which it turns the best and the strafe pattern which will let you doge fire the best, while keeping your own aim on the opponent.
