Combat Piloting?

[Akura]

The problem is your tech, you're using a Mk1 ship.


Let's compare shall we?


Your ship

Guns/Turrets: 4/1
Armour: 3,800
Weapon Class: 4-5
Max Sheild Class: 6
Bots/Bats: 28/28
Max Power: 2,800
Power Recharge p/s: 290

A better light fighter (Griffin)

Guns/Turrets: 4
Armour: 5,400
Weapon Class: 7-9
Max Sheild Class: 8
Bots/Bats: 35/35
Max Power: 8,000
Power Recharge p/s: 800


Now that's the ship itself, now let's look at the guns.


Your Guns (Barrager III)

Weapon Class: Five
Hull Damage: 132
Sheild Damage: 66
Energy per shot: 38
Hull Damage per second: 660
Shield Damage per second: 330
Energy used a second: 190
Refire: 5.00
Range: 600
Speed: 600

Better Guns (Barrager V)

Weapon Class: Nine
Hull Damage: 400
Sheild Damage: 200

Hull Damage per second: 2000
Shield Damage per second: 1000

See the difference? You're not a bad pilot, you're just using bad equipment.
