I decided to equip some of my other ships with distortion guns, as it looks that they have powerful psychological effect on other pilots. When you can see your shields quickly going down, the only logical reaction is either to pull back and let the shields regenerate, or temporarily switch to...

Energy weapons have one major advantage over any ballistic guns: infinite ammo. Vanguard is a long range heavy fighter. I always assume it might take some time before I could refuel and rearm this ship. And there is nothing worse than running out of ammo in the middle of the dangerous universe.
Totally agree; a skilled Eclipse pilot wouldn't let me lock on that ship. And I wouldn't probably even try to shot any Eclipse in a 1 on 1 situation, unless I knew it has no torpedoes left.
The reason I'm experimenting with a custom Warden loadout is that I was never impressed nor satisfied...
Yep; as you can see I had to use missiles /a single missile, to be precise/ to finish two of them, as it was taking too long to shot them down; but missiles cost a lot...
Taking shields down is my highest priority. Once they're down, I don't mind spending some time on finishing the target; or...
All right, NPC AI testing phase completed -- ATVS works great.
Four size 2 distortion repeaters are shredding shields literally in seconds, no matter if it's Gladius, Avenger, Eclipse or Connie /NPC ships with default components/.
Please don't mind operator's errors; I've never been using...
I forgot about GVSR... nice rate of fire and longer range than MVSA -- worth checking, thanks!
BRVS is a ballistic repeater though -- you are probably thinking about ATVS, distortion repeater I'm going to test.
I'm always using zoom and boom technique with my Warden and it works very well. However, it can't be used in all cases -- take our ad-hoc Sunday PVP with strangers as an example. A group of "pirates" attacked us during Test Dogfight Training. It took place in atmosphere, close to the ground, so...
Recent dogfight with Sentinel inspired me to change my Warden's armament and see if it allows that heavy fighter to fight at close range.
The following is an equivalent to Sentinel's pilot weapons loadout, Size 4 gimbaled (pic #1) and Size 5 fixed (pic #2).
I've been flying with the fixed guns...
I could use my wife's initials and name my flagship UEES MF, but she's been called mothaf%&$@ in multiplayer games so many times that I'm pretty sure my poor ship would be called the same.
On the other hand... 🤔
Based on your profile, I'd recommend you to buy Warden straight away. It's a fast heavy fighter platform with two beds and some storage space. And by fast I don't only mean max SCM speed -- it has a very fast QD, which can be used for quick jumps around the Verse.
I love mine and I use it as...
It depends on the ship or vehicle you want to load into Carrack or 890 (and Starlifter in less than 2 months from now, hopefully).
You can use any Rest Stop to safely load a snub or smaller spacecraft.
As for ground vehicles, you can use any moon or planetary outpost with Platinum Bay...
I've done something you haven't done before commenting our recent achievement -- I've checked what you might be talking about, before responding to your posts.
It looks that you have never hijacked any NPC Javelin in game, and you are only referring to Monty's video on Stealing Jav, showing a...
