[Elite: Dangerous] Vulture with Two Plasma Accelerators vs Dangerous NPC Pirate on Imperial Clipper

"how do you fools make a living"
"like this" Bang!

Yeah, I think I'll stick with multicannons. Been thinking about trying pa's but I know I suck at fixed weapons so I'll pass

Did you have FA on or off?

This was a year ago I know, and I don't know how long you was playing ED before that fight. A little AAR. 3 goods: you stayed out of his noes, you aimed for the cockpit to try to bust it, and you managed your pips pretty well. 3 improves are, you should move your throttle around to make your turns, the aiming circle is only if they continue into there direction you should put it somewhere closer towards the enemy which will improve probably of a hit, and you was using the same weapon un-engineered on both sides which gives you a disadvantage. Your DPS was slow and if you didn't ram the Clipper you would have been fighting for another 5 to 6 minutes. Which isn't really a problem in a combat setup

I highly recommend sub-targeting the power plant. Get it to 0% integrity, and it becomes unstable. Any further damage done to it after that has a chance to make it go supercritical, explode, and destroy the ship from the inside.

even a bad pilot can kill anything 1v1 with a vulture

"What do you have in your hold?" "NOTHING BUT DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FOR YOU!"

The sound of the Vulture is so bad ass. o7

He made a mistake going close to you. If he kept the distance you would be doomed.

Are you playing with a controller? Just can't think of another reason to put shield-cell-backs into a fire-group, and not just onto a hotkey.

All this for a messily 78k credits

you use fully keyrboard? i didnot notice any left right strafe movement. if you use keyboard i suggest you use mouse+keyboard. keyboard for roll and left right strafe. mouse for up down pitch and left right yaw.

Start turning 180 right before he's about to pass you and boost as you begin your turn, not before.

Use up/down thrusters during a turn to make the turn wider (but with higher speed) or sharper, but with less speed as the turn finishes.

Stay beneath or above him using your up/down thrusters as you approach eachother to have more room to maneuver.

thats some pretty good dodging there. I like this style of combat.
