On paper. Bigger ships have to apply the damage, and piloting well can reduce their DPS in some matchups.
Part of the piloting skill is knowing the matchups where this is possible, and then knowing how to exploit it.
Well, without more information, there’s not much I can say here. Yeah, cruisers are very dangerous to destroyers. Also to frigates, but mainly because of drones. When they can apply their damage, they are indeed scary to smaller ships, but that’s not guaranteed.
Well, I might suggest:
That’s quite presumptive of you. This week I started a new alpha account so I can mentor a rookie new to Eve who wants to learn FW. I’ve only spent about 450k of the free 1 million skillpoints. For T2 weapons and racial frigate level 3.
Two days in: Already been in two solo brawls where neither side could destroy the other. My opponents had much more SP (around 1 years worth). Don’t know if they were omega or not.
Maybe I have a blind spot you can see. The blind spot I see in you is that piloting skill really does account for more than you recognize. Progression in this game is not solely about what big ship you can fly. It’s also innately your personal knowledge and experiences, which you can build right now.
