Anaconda kinda nimble

Postby Raz0rking » Fri Sep 26, 2014 3:24 pm

I dont know, but it seems to me hat if one handles the anaconda well (lot of FA off) it very nimble. Just fought against a Viper and got it (nearly) the whole time in my crosshairs. Am i so good, or did the viper pilot suck? :mrgreen:

Were you flying backwards? It's the only thing that works for me, when engaged by smaller, faster ships. :)

And when you fly backwards and the other is chasing you. Push throttle forward and hit the boost button. :D They don't have time to react to that manoeuvre and you ram them to death. :D

its odd that you actually can change speed and direction so fast and il guess its not meant to be like that :)


And in my Lakon 9 I had a pesky viper that refused to stay away from the porthole while is was about to leave the station. So I gentle moved forward until I hit him. Right on my canopy, but he got stuck there, and as I flew away i just watched him go down until he exploded. :evil:

You don’t even have to push the throttle forward! Just hit the boost. I know. :D
