I know how you feel man.
But don't give up so easily.
Grind more credits to build a second, bigger one, and...
SHOW THEM!!!

are you offended by my hawk... try brushing those teeth. i understand i may not be the best cap ship pilot out there but come on this is a role play server so i grinded and got a big ship i like the attention it brings me but heres my beef. a dreadnaught should not have a problem handling vhf's gunboats and whatnot bombers are implemented to handle such caps as ive been destroyed by A SINGLE BOMBER with novas... the balance makes sence otherwise everyone would have a cap to smash on people with. but if im trying to patroll the ny system in my oc dread looking for trouble i shouldnt be destroyed by two measly gunboats how can you rp with that i mean really. yes there needs to be ballance and caps should be able to kill other caps not 2 gunboats or a bomber it completely takes the reality and the fun out of the game

Pure gold.
Seriously, learning how to fly and pvp in a cap can help a lot more at surviving pvp encounters than grinding. Just my two cents.
Oh, and if somebody brought up those two well known, pretty letters (namely R and P, in this particular order), may I know what's the roleplay basis of bringing a huge capital vessel into the capital system of a hostile house? I mean, it's not like Liberty would be so under-defended inRP to be unable to prevent that, is it?
two gunboats? That's stronger than it sounds, I mean I been defeated by 2 fighters when I was with my gunboat and had another fighter with me. First, what everyone else said (Dreadnaught isn't good against everything), second Discovery Freelancer is full of far too skilled spaceshooter-players, so I guess average or even worse players (I count myself to that group, too) will mostly lose in pvp. That's life, and the server isn't all about pvp-fights anyway.
