dagger against titan

today i fought with my dagger against a titan and guess what..............i lost!

but in the second figth i was smarter and faster (probabli becouse the efects of cocane) and after 20 minutes bringing the shield down i destroyed the guy with a perfect double slingshot atack in his ass

i'm the best

When you encounter titans flying around, they're usually in groups of 3 or more. That's what he meant

As a Lane Hacker at Mactan once said : "He must be really good, or really stupid."

Hmmm you can bringdown titan's shield with a dagger? Well perhaps with lotsa missiles... still not very easy to do.

You can do it quite easily with an Adv Stunpulse, so long as you can keep it in your sights. Which, admittedly, isn't much of a problem

I'll never know how a Dagger could possibly defeat a Titan. If a Titan got about three shots in, you're dead. Whereas you need about 433452351 shots. And actually, I often see lone Titans, though not Sabres or anything else. Probably just 'cos I spend all my time Omnicron Gamma...

That's the whole point of using LFs as VHF killers - they don't get those shots in because you can make your ship dance

Anyone with a remote trace of skill can defeat a LF in a Titan, unless they're playing against some kind of god or something.

The way you kill them is, that there is always a point where the two players see each other from a distance and move towards each other. If you're flying straight at a decent player in a Titan, you haven't got a chance. No matter how good at maneouvering you are. And, anyway in PvP, both players would have regen shields. This would make it near impossible for a LF to win, without hitting the Titan near constantly, which would make him an easy target.

That and not to mention that the titan can just park, go to turret view and just shoot at the fly

Post Sun Mar 21, 2004 7:43 am

I must disagree, the titan turns too slow and the LF is too smal too hit at range

Post Sun Mar 21, 2004 8:58 am

If it's a PvP match, then the LF pretty much has not a chance under the sky in winning. Unless this is a modded game, a human in a dagger would have a real tough time beating a human in a Titan. But, If we're talking Human vs. NPC, the Dagger may well have won with a few tricks and well placed mines to prevent unopposed motion. I don't believe in all this "It's all the ship, not the pilot" crap. I believe that a real good pilot in a starflier could well defeat a Titan or a Battleship singlehandedly.

Light Fighters are the natural born Understimation. Most people would rather be unstoppable, but what's the point in that if you won't have a challenge. And, I'm sorry, the single best feeling in the world is bringing down A VHF in a Hawk. I've done it before, I was flying solo in a Hawk in Tau-37 a long time ago. I undocked from Freeport 10 and lying in front of me there were no Outcasts or anyone friendly to me, but a dozen, yeah twelve, Hammerheads. By the end I had missed and hit Freeport 10 so many times I couldn't dock so I stumbled into Malta with no Batts or Nano's, missiles, mines, CM's, nearly no hull strength, and no wings. But my cargo bay was full of nice expensive BH weaps and loads of commodities.
