Do you agree that SP injectors help new players in regards to:

1. Ship PvP
2. Economic PvP
3. PvE

Or do you still maintain, by some caveat, that Remiel’s claim that SP injectors do not help new players AT ALL, is true.

Make up your mind.

Brother, your example is quite impressive but it doesn’t apply to the statement that experience trumps skill points due to the fact that the technical conditions governing both parties in your example wasn’t equal.

Character A has lot’s of experience in PvP combat but has very low skill points.  
Character B has no experience in PvP combat but has very high skill points.  
Both are in the same ship with the same fit.

Who do you think will win?

Well I guess I should be grateful that some complete stranger on the internet used to think something of me, but that has changed. Nothing of value has been lost. You’ve come out a few times over the years and just attacked completely unprovoked (in the old LAGL thread). Now complaining when I don’t respect that and take a hard line now. Meh.

However, agreeing with Salvos on the one hand and then complaining about the same thing happening to your own post is pretty hypocritical.

DMC and I are two different people, with different posts, views and arguments etc.

You have no place conflating us, nor repudiating DMC, before you have done the same on Remiel.

Remiel is whom drew this topic hundreds of posts deep into a pointless hole, because he refused to admit his claim was false.

Even now, you are still making excuses for him, despite his behavior.

I already made my opinion clear. You quoted it several times. Maybe you forgot.

But that’s not the question you are chasing up on now. You asked about some stupid injectors and PVE efficiency

I can’t answer that question. It makes no sense to me.

No, my example was a perfect refutation of the claim that SP trumps skills and experience. That is a 2v1 against me, both pilots with more skill points than me, each.

At the end of the day, I’d put my money on A. I see it happen in real toe-to-toe PVP often. In order to encourage fights against people with low experience, me and the guys I fly with frequently undership against our targets. [So stuff like this executioner vs a slicer happens](https://youtu.be/AiHLUTE4vaM). That pilot was skill injected, by the way, and plexed. He raged massively after that fight.

This is something that happens everywhere, in every game, and in real life. The example I gave a few days ago was the Tuskegee Airmen shooting down German aces in Me-262s, the world’s first jetfighter, flying P-51D Mustangs. By your understanding, that stats win over skill and experience, that shouldn’t happen. Ever. By your assertion that stats win over skill and experience, I should have lost my 2v1. The technical conditions are that I was ‘out-statted’, and that’s what you’re asserting, and what I’ve demonstrated to be false.

With more skill and a better understanding of his ship and mine, that Garmur should never have died to me. The fight should have been his. If the argument is, “SP and stats trump skill and experience”, that fight proves it wrong.

SP as more efficient in PvE was your own point:

Yet you still insist this is “different” for PvP"

PS: This was exactly the same quote chain, by pressing up-arrow to follow it, that you earlier claimed you “had no idea on”.

Nah, it seems right at home in this thread now.

However, since ad hominems aren’t great, I should clarify. What I meant was:

_Your position to agree with Salvos, while complaining about a similar thing to your own post, is hypocritical._

No more ad hominem, and apologies. Was never meant against you individually, just the position you have taken,

So you basically say that PvE needs zero player skill and if I would train a monkey to orbit and press F1 and set him into the same ship you fly with the same amount of SP he would be as efficient at the game as you are?

OK, fine.

I experienced just the opposite which I posted at the start of this side topic yet everybody completely ignored it or said it wasn’t possible.

Honestly, this is getting ridiculous.

Here we are, some 300 posts later, still arguing over a claim (by Remiel) that all participants agree was false (except Remiel).

I dont get it.

We have already all agreed Remiel’s claim was false, and yet somehow you are still trying to defend him from having to own up to that.

Remiel himself is still stuck in stages of denial, resorting to meme posting, and has already claimed to leave the thread some 10 times.

Why is it you still try to cover for him?  
He is only dragging you down with him, on a claim you already dont agree with.

God you just can’t help yourself, constantly twisting statements around. The same aspect can also apply to PvP as well.

By the way, if your monkey can review guides and recognize spawn triggers then you’re golden and should be making lot’s of bank in real life.

No, see, you’re quote-mining out of context again, even after I’ve explained repeatedly, quite a few times now, exactly what that context is. Definitively, concisely, and repeatedly. Your ignorance on display again, Salvos. There was a whole post that came with that line you keep quoting, and there was another post that mine was in response to that provides additional context.

TL;DR - this was ridiculous the moment you started quote-mining me. That behaviour just demonstrates you as an incredibly intellectually dishonest hack who deserves to be mocked, memed, and probably permanently shunned by most of modern society. But since we can’t always get what we want, I’ll settle for the entertainment you provide when you’re tripping and flailing over your own sense of self-perfection. The Dunning-Kruger is incredibly strong in you, Padawan, but I sense much fear in you. Fear that others will see you as the complete twit you truly are.
