Great Podcast and I love the PVP videos. I am a new player and hope to get into small scale PvP once i get some capital and skills built up.

Hey guys thanks a lot for all the support!

Just posted episode 10 - I tell a story about flying a megathron, then kovorix talks about megathron fits, then we discuss how to decide whether to engage an enemy gang or not!

Hope you guys like it!

Well that description sounds like music to my ears Big smile

Happy Easter

Edit: did you intent that you're left audio only, and Kovorix right?
With only one talking for most of the time, it's a bit awkward to listen to imho. At least most players can set the audio device to mono, so you give people the choice.

Lo chaps, absolutely love the podcast. Very informative, and also you guys seem open minded, I like how you discuss things rather than seeing everything in black and white.

If you are open to suggestions on topics to cover, I'm betting a lot of people would like one on piloting/ship movement:

Things such as how to use approach, orbit, keep at range etc. How to kite, chase someone, what range to orbit at in different situations, and how to tackle people properly (i am forever overshooting targets i'm tackling). I know it's a big topic!

Just a suggestion anyway.

Keep up the good work :)

Separate audio channels is no beuno but episode 10 was a good listen nonetheless.

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah people have been asking a lot about this. We decided it would be really hard to do audio-only without a visual aid... we might try it anyway or maybe work on a youtube video that would better depict it.

Sorry for double channels. I'm not sure how I managed to mess that up.

Just fixed it and switched the file on the website. Sorry to anyone who had to listen to the earlier one =/ Will make sure to not do that in the future.

About piloting, I think we will certainly give it a try at some point, as it seems like many people are interested in it!

Ah man I'm the Harpy pilot that tried to solo you in the megathron Lol I was hoping you were some kind of failfit PVE fit. I was bumping you like a rabbit in mating season trying to get you away from the gate, definitely didn't expect the medium neut and scram at the end Big smile gf gf let's do it again sometime Pirate

Great podcast I really like it.

Could you tell us more about how you actually pilot the ships in a fight? Sometimes the videos aren't really clear on what exactly is happening. It doesn't need to be comprehensive but maybe just some things you do with a few of the ships you use. I have been afraid to take out the new bcs due to the likely hood of an embarrasing loss against the new afs.

For example if you are trying to track someone are you clicking in space and trying to make it so your ship is paralell? Obviously if you can pulse the mwd after a few neut cycles and get some distance that works. Also if you can get your ecm drones to get a jam on the scrambler and then pulse the mwd to get range that is another thing to do. But what if you are scramed by a few smaller ships. Are you doing anything in particular?

Also when you are kiting are you clicking in space or are you using a combination of orbit and keep at range. For example I usually have the orbit at an ideal range, and the "keep at range" as large as I can. If I start to move close to the orbit range i will hit the keep at range button somewhat before I am actually in the right orbit range. I also tend to turn off my mwd to keep my agility up and only pulse it when I need to.

If you are charging at a ship with another ship how do you avoid overshooting it? I know it will vary from ship to ship but do you have a pad response for any ships in particular?

When you are trying to increase your transversal do you just spiral in and then orbit at 500 or are you clicking in space even after you get close?

Are you mostly looking at the ship you are firing on to see what it is doing or are you just watching the distance and its speed?

Beside checking to make sure you modules are turned on what else are you focusing on?

Here is a specific question: I'm having trouble catching ships with a scram before they mwd out. Yet when I am in the kiting ship and I land within scram range It seems I never have enough time to pulse the mwd to get out of range before the scram has my mwd turned off.

Could you give the exact process that you use in both cases - either trying to scram someone landing on you or trying to mwd away from someone before their scram hits. For example if you are trying to scram someone that you see warping in are you at first trying to click approach with your prop mod activated and then lock and then activate scram. Or are you first trying to lock and then activate scram and then approach and them activate prop mod?

I just think I'm doing it wrong because I often cant catch people before they get out of scram range yet I get caught myself all the time.
.
Anyway you obviously don't have to answer all these questions but addressing some of them would be good. Also I would be interested in hearing how some of your guests pilot their ships as well.

Sorry for the long post. I basicly want the same thing as fischig.

You aren't the first to ask us to cover this, and I think we might have to try and do it this week. I appreciate the big list of questions a lot, will give us a really good starting place for things to talk about when we do finally do it.

Thanks for the shoutout pixxie =)
