Statement:

"If you equip a ship for (small gang, solo) pvp with guns that require capacitor to fire, you are LOL stupid and easily killed."

I have been pondering this statement for awhile, and I am thinking I am starting to agree with it. There are just too many people who all fly the same cookie cutter minmatar ships with neuts who look for easy kills from people who can't fight back because they violate this simple rule. Even with a cap booster, a capacitor requiring turret is simply at too much of a disadvantage to be effective.

The main problem I see is that the only real tactic to counter a neuting ship is to kite them, and chances are the ship that is neuting is way better at kiting than you are.

Agree? Disagree?

Caution, if you flame too hard I will assume you are b*** hurt and believe the statement is true.

They say a picture says a thousand words... so I'll give you lots of pictures:
- Amamake Fun I: http://vimeo.com/34665420
- Amamake Fun II: http://vimeo.com/35131824
- Amamake Fun III: http://vimeo.com/35642474
- Why you should stagger your neuts: http://vimeo.com/34946387

I'll probably be putting up Amamake Fun IV soon, though I've been steadily accumulating a large corpus of solo fights which haven't made it into any videos. A lot of those show heavy neut pressure (Harpy vs triple neut cyclone, Harpy vs dual neut Rupture, Harpy vs 4 neut Arbitrator, etc).

Ed: Added titles for the videos. For those too lazy to watch the videos... yes, there's a ton of neuting pressure out there. But to claim you can't overcome it is ludicrous.

I'm an idiot, don't mind me.
