[23.06.2018 21:08:25] Felicity.: So, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:08:38] Jack.S: Ms. Willing
[23.06.2018 21:08:44] Felicity.: Shall we commence?
[23.06.2018 21:09:11] Jack.S: this shall be my first combat experience
[23.06.2018 21:09:24] Felicity.: No problem. We all have to start somewhere.
[23.06.2018 21:09:32] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready.
[23.06.2018 21:13:08] Death: Azu.Kazama suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[23.06.2018 21:14:14] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Gun).
[23.06.2018 21:16:28] Jack.S: how did I do?
[23.06.2018 21:16:53] Felicity.: Now, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:17:08] Felicity.: I suppose i should describe my observations.
[23.06.2018 21:17:18] Felicity.: There would be two moments.
[23.06.2018 21:17:28] Felicity.: First - is how you move.
[23.06.2018 21:17:41] Felicity.: It is too... easy to predict, honestly.
[23.06.2018 21:17:58] Felicity.: Do you have your strafe control enabled?
[23.06.2018 21:18:19] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 21:18:57] Felicity.: Despite that, i have seen you charging towards me in a straight line, without using strafe, is that right?
[23.06.2018 21:19:35] Felicity.: Keep in mind that strafe is one of the very basics of the combat, that ensures your longer survival during the combat.
[23.06.2018 21:19:41] Felicity.: If you happen to be caught in one.
[23.06.2018 21:20:00] Felicity.: And Vindicator benefits the most from strafing up and down.
[23.06.2018 21:20:05] Felicity.: How do you think - why?
[23.06.2018 21:20:23] Jack.S: smaller target?
[23.06.2018 21:20:49] Felicity.: That's about right. It has slim shape.
[23.06.2018 21:21:34] Felicity.: Imagine a branch that is moving up and down and that you are trying to hit by throwing rocks into it.
[23.06.2018 21:21:39] Felicity.: Is it easy?
[23.06.2018 21:21:52] Felicity.: Like, how easy can you perform this?
[23.06.2018 21:22:11] Felicity.: I know it might be too simplified, but that is how it works.
[23.06.2018 21:22:12] Jack.S: not easily, but from practiser
[23.06.2018 21:22:53] Felicity.: And the second moment.
[23.06.2018 21:22:59] Felicity.: The early turns.
[23.06.2018 21:23:31] Jack.S: Mine bait???
[23.06.2018 21:23:46] Felicity.: Throughout our combat, for a fair amount of time i was able to keep up with you by just standing in one place, reversing and
[23.06.2018 21:23:56] Felicity.: following your ship with my aim.
[23.06.2018 21:24:12] Felicity.: The early, turns, i told you.
[23.06.2018 21:24:49] Felicity.: Basically, to perform an early turn, you should engage engine kill, then start turning at approximately 200 meters distance-
[23.06.2018 21:24:53] Felicity.: -with your opponent.
[23.06.2018 21:25:28] Felicity.: As he bypasses you - reverse and move to the edge at which he have turned while strafing in the opposite direction.
[23.06.2018 21:25:48] Felicity.: Like, if he turned right - you should turn right as well, but strafe to the left.
[23.06.2018 21:25:59] Felicity.: All while reversing.
[23.06.2018 21:26:36] Felicity.: Now, let's train your strafing a bit.
[23.06.2018 21:26:45] Jack.S: ok
[23.06.2018 21:26:56] Felicity.: I will be enganing you with hullbusters. Stand in one place and try to evade as best as you can.
[23.06.2018 21:27:03] Felicity.: Remember the slim shape benefits.
[23.06.2018 21:27:10] Felicity.: Let's do this.
[23.06.2018 21:37:28] Felicity.: Now, Mr. Spang. Do you have the basic understanding of how the strafing works, and how it prolongs your life in combat?
[23.06.2018 21:37:54] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 21:38:15] Felicity.: Good. Then, let us move to something slightly more advanced.
[23.06.2018 21:38:26] Felicity.: The technique is called 'boxing'.
[23.06.2018 21:38:40] Felicity.: Basically similiar to strafe, is still has some difference.
[23.06.2018 21:39:18] Felicity.: As a first maneuver for the boxing, reverse until you reach the maximum reverse speed of 15, and activate engine kill.
[23.06.2018 21:40:15] Felicity.: Now process the consequent moves: up-right-down-left. Then repeat them a few times.
[23.06.2018 21:41:18] Felicity.: Watch the mines, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 21:41:30] Felicity.: Did you get the basic concept of boxing?
[23.06.2018 21:41:41] Felicity.: Show me.
[23.06.2018 21:42:08] Felicity.: Reverse-engine kill-strafe up-right-down-left.
[23.06.2018 21:42:13] Jack.S: yes..
[23.06.2018 21:42:15] Felicity.: The opposite direction works too.
[23.06.2018 21:42:54] Felicity.: Good. Pretty much that, but try to travel lesser distances while boxing.
[23.06.2018 21:43:11] Felicity.: Be swift, it will give your opponent less chances to hit you.
[23.06.2018 21:43:53] Felicity.: This technique also has it's advantages over strafe and fits best into a close combat.
[23.06.2018 21:44:18] Felicity.: You just move, focusing less on evasion and better on hitting your target while already evading.
[23.06.2018 21:44:31] Felicity.: With practice you will develop this into a reflex.
[23.06.2018 21:44:48] Felicity.: You will still be dodging, it will make your aim easier.
[23.06.2018 21:45:02] Felicity.: And you will still be gaining distance with your opponent while dodging.
[23.06.2018 21:45:13] Felicity.: Which will make him to charge at you at some point.
[23.06.2018 21:45:48] Felicity.: Is this clear enough?
[23.06.2018 21:46:03] Jack.S: yes
[23.06.2018 21:46:25] Felicity.: Are you ready to try and fight me once again? Try to utilise what we have just discussed.
[23.06.2018 21:46:39] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready.
[23.06.2018 21:46:44] Jack.S: may I dock and re-equip first?
[23.06.2018 21:46:51] Felicity.: Sure. Go for it.
[23.06.2018 21:49:37] Felicity.: Are you ready, Mr. Spang?
[23.06.2018 21:49:58] Jack.S: as ready as I'll ever be...
[23.06.2018 21:50:03] Felicity.: Let's dance.
[23.06.2018 21:52:26] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Mine).
[23.06.2018 21:53:35] Felicity.: Mr. Spang, please, do not get too upset over what have just happened.
[23.06.2018 21:53:42] Felicity.: Practice is the key to perfection.
[23.06.2018 21:53:50] Felicity.: However.
[23.06.2018 21:53:57] Felicity.: Try to also be more mobile.
[23.06.2018 21:54:15] Felicity.: Your movements are honestly too slow, which leaves you exposed to me.
[23.06.2018 21:54:23] Felicity.: And never charge in a straight line.
[23.06.2018 21:54:32] Jack.S: I felt I lasted longer when I wasn't trying to think about boxing and reversing...
[23.06.2018 21:55:02] Felicity.: Back then i refrained from using my ammo.
[23.06.2018 21:55:10] Felicity.: That was the difference.
[23.06.2018 21:55:20] Felicity.: Perhaps, this was a little too harsh.
[23.06.2018 21:55:35] Felicity.: But the real opponents won't be kind to you, trust me.
[23.06.2018 21:55:50] Felicity.: They will throw everything they have at you with no doubts, but an intention to kill.
[23.06.2018 21:56:09] Felicity.: Watching over those aspects is essential.
[23.06.2018 21:56:26] Felicity.: Charging in a straight line makes you exposed to mines.
[23.06.2018 21:56:30] Jack.S: And now you know why I chose the influence mastery to start with...
[23.06.2018 21:56:53] Felicity.: I see.
[23.06.2018 21:57:09] Felicity.: But i am here trying to help you to get better.
[23.06.2018 21:57:20] Felicity.: At least, to handle yourself in the very basics of combat.
[23.06.2018 21:58:01] Felicity.: I even heard people talking things like: "The more harsh your instructor is - the better you prepared for the real fight".
[23.06.2018 21:58:06] Felicity.: And they were god damn right.
[23.06.2018 21:58:57] Felicity.: Getting you into the form will take plenty of effort.
[23.06.2018 21:59:09] Felicity.: But we will manage this together.
[23.06.2018 21:59:18] Jack.S: I can understand that... It's how I learn't how to swim back on planet Leeds...
[23.06.2018 21:59:26] Felicity.: I will support you on all your way through.
[23.06.2018 21:59:53] Felicity.: So it's not for the first time you overcome complications to get somewhat stronger than you were.
[23.06.2018 22:00:02] Felicity.: Then you see the point of this, i suppose.
[23.06.2018 22:00:42] Jack.S: No... but the first time I drowned... at least here I have an escape pod and can avoid dying...
[23.06.2018 22:00:51] Felicity.: Let's fight again. Use everything you've got.
[23.06.2018 22:00:59] Felicity.: I will stick to guns only.
[23.06.2018 22:01:09] Felicity.: Let's go.
[23.06.2018 22:01:23] Jack.S: Iforgot to load any ammo
[23.06.2018 22:01:39] Felicity.: Get some if you need.
[23.06.2018 22:02:00] Jack.S: there we go...
[23.06.2018 22:02:16] Felicity.: Why aren't you using cruise disruptor instead of Firestalker missiles?
[23.06.2018 22:02:37] Felicity.: Whenever you are ready, Mr.Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:04:17] Felicity.: Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:04:23] Felicity.: Use your thrust.
[23.06.2018 22:07:08] Death: Jack.S was put out of action by Felicity. (Gun).
[23.06.2018 22:08:40] Felicity.: Mr.Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:08:50] Felicity.: I still encourage you not to stay in one place for so long.
[23.06.2018 22:09:03] Felicity.: And use your thrust more actively for offense rather than running.
[23.06.2018 22:09:49] Felicity.: The duel of two fighters is, basically, composed of Face each other-charge-shoot-turn-repeat.
[23.06.2018 22:10:20] Felicity.: There are, of course, much more advanced moments.
[23.06.2018 22:10:25] Jack.S: what advise to you have for my weapon loadout?
[23.06.2018 22:10:48] Felicity.: So, you are using the 3.03 Hellflurries, right?
[23.06.2018 22:11:10] Jack.S: yes...
[23.06.2018 22:11:11] Felicity.: Perhaps you should try and stick to my variant of our guns.
[23.06.2018 22:11:21] Felicity.: And replace your debiliators with Mark II.
[23.06.2018 22:11:48] Felicity.: The formidable alternative would be Garand Mark VIII.
[23.06.2018 22:11:56] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.
[23.06.2018 22:12:11] Felicity.: Liberty civilian technology, still a decent weapon to possess.
[23.06.2018 22:12:27] Felicity.: What i am trying to bring you to is... do not be afraid to try something new.
[23.06.2018 22:12:44] Felicity.: If you don't feel confident with that weapons - try the alternatives.
[23.06.2018 22:12:52] Felicity.: Pick what suits YOU best.
[23.06.2018 22:13:28] Felicity.: I assume we shall conclude on this for today.
[23.06.2018 22:13:42] Felicity.: Take some time to consider what i have explained to you today.
[23.06.2018 22:13:50] Jack.S: I always thought more power was better.... but I suppose thats just my gene's speaking...
[23.06.2018 22:13:51] Felicity.: And, perhaps, reconsider your weapon of choice.
[23.06.2018 22:14:09] Felicity.: As Professors do always say - be creative.
[23.06.2018 22:14:23] Felicity.: Farewell until next time, Mr. Spang.
[23.06.2018 22:14:34] Felicity.: Don't worry, we will get you into the proper form.
[23.06.2018 22:14:38] Jack.S: Thank you for the lessons Ms. Willing
[23.06.2018 22:14:43] Felicity.: You're welcome.
[23.06.2018 22:14:48] Felicity.: We shall meet tomorrow.
