How fast is a Rheinland turtle?

The battleship? I just got caught up by 4 or 5 battleships that were constantly shooting at me. I was at full speed 90 m/s. How did they do that?

Formation, strafing, being better at caps than you, a number of reasons. It's easy to catch a BS if they don't know what the target is doing.

They were probably slingshotting.

It's when you use formation when traveling with an ally to go above the normal cruise speed, then engine kill to catch up with a ship running in open space.

Ship A is running from ships B and C, B is in front of C, so C uses formation (F4) on ship B. As soon as ship C is close to ship B, he engine kills, making his speed stay above the normal cruise speed, and passes ship B. Then ship B does what ship C just did.

They shouldn't be slingshotting if the other dude is doing 90 ms, or they're bads.

Then don't log a cap, if you don't know the strats to use one.

Slingshot doesn't work since 4.86. You suck so hard.

Actually, it does. You suck, you just don't realize that you slingshot 6 m/s faster than regular cruise, rather than 40. Don't tell people they suck when you don't know what you're talking about.

Meanwhile the pvp whores are telling me to go fly caps cause snubs are for pros.
