Heh, Deacon, maybe I'm just insane or something but I could understand your post. You were stating that Hacking is a Light Fighter flying around at way faster than possible speed shooting Level 10 weapons, and Skill is a Light Fighter flying at normal speed outdodging and outmaneuvering their opponent and putting said opponent in a defensive position, even though said opponent is flying a "better" fighter...at least that's what *I* got out of it...

A Saber can easily out turn an Eagle. All it has to do is stop. Of course, that leaves it open to rippers, but it's quite possible that the instinct to call cheat is stronger than the instinct to adjust tactics. Actually, it seems to me that there are a number of manuevers that will bring you to guns on your opponent before his more manuverable ship comes to guns on you. Especially with the engine kill feature, although I'm sure you were using that; I'm just stating the obvious.

I've accused a person of cheating a number of times. In all but two of the cases, it was obvious (ie flying a battleship or nomad fighter, or mounting 20 guns) . Out of the other two cases, in one case I died so fast i couldn't blink, and managed to draw a confession out of the modder, and in the other case, My friend got destroyed before my eyes without taking a lick of shield damage (the old edit shield damage to 0 trick - kids stuff).

I dont think i'd point the finger at someone for anything as nebulous as a turning radius. Even if your opponent seemed to turn increadibly fast, it could still just be lag...

If a sabre were to cut engine speed down, it could turn much better. My brother hates me because I could be dodging his lasers, then suddenly drop speed to zero and end up behind him. However, that manuver is very vunerable to torps and mines. If the other player is fast enough, count on your ship becoming somewhat crippled.

For all who are reading this, don't be put off by all this talk of Elite. It's a good server, with a very rich clan environment. In later levels, you are either in a clan, or the best damn pilot on the server. And don't bother trying to fly a Titan on Elite; you'll get ripped to rat **** by the Eagles
