I try to use gate tacs, but sometimes I’m in a hurry to reship and get back in the fight. I’m just not thinking and then a proteus uncloaks and blam! Floating corpse.
And I honestly think we lose more ships to gateguns than anything else. It’s become a running joke. But It’s an awful cringy laugh. Folks are quick to change the subject. It’s always too soon.
They will just change to Ventures. Some of them already have done that.
Which is flat out funny as hell.
Which brings me back to my other point…
Removal of Pirate faction ships from Novice plexes. Just bump them up 1 tier like T2 ships and the problem goes away on its own.
flew predominantly kestrels in FW and there were very few pirate frigs i had issue with in novices. most of the problem comes from the fear of them and giving up before the fight even starts. hell i was more afraid of a kite Tristan than a Dramiel. Only ones i worried about were the dare devil and Garmur because those hard countered me.
way easier to pin a venture than a fully stabbed cat
It’s funny I run into the exact opposite issue. I am not afraid of a Tristan AT all… But I run smart bombs on some of my drone boats to deal with drones.
Nothing makes a drone boater cry more than watching all of his drones evaporate at once.
But I have a Thrasher with 8 smart bombs on it for giggles… That is fun.
Slashers do not have 8 high slots.
Destroyers do like thrashers but not frigates.
This is either a genuine mistake or you are talking through another orifice that is not your mouth
again, i don’t agree. T2 frigates especially now with the ADC ‘iwin’ button are horribly overpowered against pirate frigs. destroyers are horribly overpowered against pirate frigs.
it would turn pirate frigs into what T1 non-faction frigs are right now.
