The thing about PvP is literally only the lack of matchmaking outside of events and Conn. Since the skill gap in Snub PvP is bigger than in any other class, there are practically only four three tiers of players in snub-PvP:
Newcomers
Average
Top-Tier Vasko
During the few weeks recently when I actively played in snubs I noticed it. Overcoming the Newcomer classification is actually not that hard, as all it takes is learning from your mistakes and maybe watch one or two videos. I watched Vasko's videos and tried to copy and adapt, which helped me pretty much. The majority of people I fought in Liberty and Bretonia were on the very same level of snub training as I was, which allowed me to actually get some blues. Felt very addicting, and most of the fights were very nice, excluding those where I got ganked or had to fight someone who was significantly better. Since there is no matchmaking, that can happen anywhere anytime and to anyone except the top-tier level snub players. Those who make a science out of PvP. Since I don't have time nor motivation to do the same, I abandoned snub PvP again, as some people have noticed. It is fun to do it every now and then, but fighting people you know who spend hours in Conn, min-max wherever it is possible and follow guides that describe certain moves into detail, when to use them and with what ship and loadout, is pretty much the same as getting ganked. (A gank is a fight that has a predestinated result.)
While I also can't spend hours clicking pixels for aim training, I found nothing more satisfying than the use of the current Sidewinder missile. While Wesker complains about people actually having managed to kill him using five snubs with Sidewinders and anyone else of the top-tier complaining about how broken they are, Sidewinders were pretty much everything I could rely on and have fun with. Nothing is more satisfying than the sound of equipment braking off the enemy ship, which either means if the enemy survives, he has to lolwutdive anyway or get a new gun. Of course the PvP elite knows anything better and gifts other people with Tom Cruise and Will Smith for their own opinions, but if there is one thing that is not bad, then it is the Sidewinder in the current state. Not that I care much about it anymore, but I hope it won't get just another disimprovement as the current snub PvP already has too many of.
TL;DR: Missiles are a newcomer's friend as when five snubs use them on a pro, the pro actually dies. When five pros use them on newbies, it's the same. And matchmaking is only with friends or in Conn a thing, so why even bother.
