So I was messing around with the Freelancer recently and started practicing combat landings because one day there will probably need to come in hot and land as quickly as possible. It's tricky trying to go from cruse speeds to full stop over a landing platform and then strafing down to land. So does anyone else have fun tactics they have been messing around with?

Hot landings for sure. Also, I really wanna master decoupled spins to nail those annoying bastardy on your ass. Or just decoupled mode period. So many factors. Like knowing when to disengage and cruise away to charge up my shields.
Also, proper ramming techniques. For those annoying Bengal carriers. ;)

And knowing which parts of your ship can take a hit or not- Ship hull folded 1000 times, glorious TESTy steel
doing bunch of space combat maneuvers on Vanduul swarm and learning to use suckerpunch cannons and missiles effectively
I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Now all that is left is to learn more of the FPS once we get the Star Marine thingy, although I've already got thousands of hours of exp on that side (Don't go see my CS:GO playtime I beg you its depressing)

Ramming everything with my Hornet and coming out the other side in one piece lol. Would like to try some combat landings
Extreme Deja Vu now.
EMP! EMP EVERYTHING!!! (thats the only logical answer since it showed up on my hornet's hud, cept idk how to activate it.)
What the Fuck is going on? My mind is spiraling...
I'm sorry. Haha
This is spiralling into the rabbit hole, and I'm sober. How am I supposed to handle this sober?

Let Sober You find Drunk You, without first finding alcohol. This way you also learn how to find where Drunk You put things for Sober You to find, without surprises.
Every landing I perform is a hot landing!
Had a few guys commend me the other night on my landing skills of the Gemini, I was a bit taken aback.

I'd like to pract
I was there for that (Metal-Muffin). It was pretty impressive.
But what if I like surprises?
Also, those two mes should never meet. I fear for the space time continuum if they do...
You will teach me this mythical skill.
Metal muffin?

I can`t get in game right now to test this, but multi crew ships trying to turn with a fighter is just insanity, and moving around puts the gun crews at a real disadvantage . Try this, as soon as you come in contact with fighters you must go on the defensive. Turn and align with a quantum drive point, go into super cruise and raise rear shields to max. get your gun crews to stations, get on the horn for backup. now you are on a corse to quantum out if needed. your gunners can cover your aft, shields will help with damage, and the enemy fighters will not be able to swarm around you, they will have to come from your 6 o`clock right into your turrets firing arc. the fighters closing speed will be slow, and if they do fly past you to the front you can engage with missiles and guns. if you can`t hold out jump into quantum.
