Fighter Skill By Houses

[Jihadjoe]

There are stunningly good pilots everywhere really. Finding the real demon fliers out there is like trying to find diamonds in a big pile of turd.

The [LN] has some excellent pilots, the [RM] has some terrifying opponents, the [RoS] has people who are horrifyingly good, the old OPG had some people who made me want to cry...

To be honest though, it's hardly relevant. People do as well as they can, and sometimes they win, and sometimes the other guy (or girl) is better.

As to what Felix Cabulb was saying. There are no real pilots who would allow themselves to rely on numbers. People who appreciate the skill involved wouldn't consider a victory in which they vastly outnumbered the enemy to be a victory at all. Often you find that a good pilot's skill will be drowned out by the vast swathes of overkilling idiots who fly around them It's a shame.

I don't mind losing to someone who has outflown or out-thought me. I don't really mind losing to people who have just had more numbers than I have. More often than not you know what you're flying into anyway... I -hate- winning when I've had overwhealming numbers on my side.

Good and bad everywhere you go really. That's true of people and of pvp skill. None of it is really that important though.
