And I can't stay in game without a fight, even if I hate being blowed.
I love that thrill and so on, but using ordinary fighters for me causes my fast splitting to a small parts.
LFs are the most safe ship to fly...to fly, not to stay at one place.
Caps, maybe, too, but I am not interested in powergaming, and have no that much time to collect lots of money.
Besides caps have ability to go down faster then any other ships.

A non-skilled cap pilot: pewpew with stuff for 2 minutes *boom*
A non-skilled LF pilot: max 10 second joust *shields down* 3 more seconds for incoming CD to let the nuke explode *boom*

' Wrote:Besides caps have ability to go down faster then any other ships.True, but lately I discovered it's in some part because of bad fighting strategy during cap-cap battles. Mayby after another month of flying a cap on regular basis I'll be able to tell about it something more specific, now I'm just trying some new things in this area.

Wait a second, you just either offended or made me proud. I mean, I dont consider myself as a skilled pilot of whatever, but ALL my duels, in which I took part in with my LF lasted at least an hour! At least.
(well not minding one reaver in sabre).
And all massive fights I had luck to be part of, lasted for me until our side either win, or or rapidly die, so after all enemy concentrate its powers on a tiny LF.
And what can you argue to a lonely Rhei LF being chased and spammed with missiles by Liberty gunboat in Alaska and stayed alive after all?
So its either me less or more lucky, or all enemies I used to face were newbies.

Sucking in pvp is something that happens. I have the same problem in fighters and bombers (and everything else, come to think of it:P). Me being a console kiddie in the past hasn't helped my case.
But still, you can have lolz. I pretty much always die in a dogfight. But who cares. if the battle was fun, sod it. to hell with the outcome. And thats coming from a Bounty Hunter player. oh, the irony.
If you really value being potent at shooting down pixels, Id suggest a few trips to Conni. Someone I know was horrid in pvp. Now he kicks so much ass it's scray. All because he made regular conni visits. If you want to improve, do that. if you cba, like me, to 'train' to become better at a videogame leave it be and just try to enjoy a fight you're bound to lose.
also, join Bowex). pvp AND trading in one. :cool:

There's also the little fact that not everyone has the reflexes or fast thinking to become an ace.
So instead of trying to become that good, just work on being competent. The factions you fly with will love you.:)

Just thought that was an appropriate addendum to what you said.

' Wrote:So if you totally suck at shooting people - get your LF and dodge your enemy unless he will die from boredom or fall asleep
You've got it.
Definitely got it.
You won't suck. You've got what it takes to not suck.
You're good at dodging in LFs right?
Yep, then that's all there is to it. (almost)
Bore the enemy to death.
After a while, they start to make mistakes.
That's when you pump yourself up and go aggressive.
The key to winning in an LF.
