Green Shields, a rally, and a tighter turn
28 Feb 2017Digitarry
February saw me learn a new move. That's two now. Dropping the back of the ship, whilst pitching to come up under the belly of an attacker. Time on target improved. Now just my aim to work on! BlackGoof's rally was a monster. A huge route, almost impossible to see, and no obvious finish line. Some practical points to overcome before a repeat, but a lot of fun regardless.
Finally got prismatics.
Popped to a CG in the hope of trying out against some good PvPers. Met a couple - John Raines unbelievably good at manouvering and hard to hit for example! A trip marred only by seeing folk I know to be good at PvP - looking at you dangerous.cnt - but are still operating in packs using shield killing and FSD killing missiles. Don't get me wrong. I'm not whining about it - the weapons are in game, so they'll get used. But the same people using them are the ones who cite "go and get good" to the lesser pilots like me... and we'd do that if we got to engage better pilots. A somewhat bizarre and tedious contradiction that I hope they'll grow out of. Little point in heading to a CG just to be slaughtered. Shame.
