Quoting for reiteration.

Sure, you can be specialized in one thing and do it exceptionally, but when something is needed that you can't do, you're useless. Specialize EVERYTHING and become a true expert.

Listen to Liam, boy's got mad skillz.

You're going to lose a lot of ships, and that's ok. It may be that you're not the best solo pilot - I'm passable at best, nowhere near Liam's league or X Gallentius's league. But you might be damn good at leading small gang PvP, or have a knack for ambushes, or be great at baiting traps, or be a phenomenal tackle pilot, or be a great logi or ewar pilot - and you won't know until you try.

Fly lots of different stuff, with lots of different groups, against lots of different opponents. I guarantee that within a couple months you'll find your niche.

We Gallente have a saying: "CCP created the Gallente Militia to train the Fighters..."

Ganked and podded my first strategic kill today. :)

I specifically fitted this Merlin to kill Caldari kinetic-bonused missile boats. My kinetic resistance was over 90%, which I now think is overkill. The Corax only got me down to perhaps 70% shields before I blasted him away. And I got his pod too, and all up I did 80m damage in a 6.5m frigate. :)

not to **** on your boat but the corax is a terrible destroyer. The kinetic damage bonus it gets barely gives it 170 dps with 1 bcs. On lml mind you - the only way to benefit from that 25% explosion radius bonus.

The corax needs another balance pass before taking any pride in killing one. I lost a couple hundred mil trying to find a fit that works but the ship is just a joke as you will see with time.

Just because you think a ship is bad doesnt give you the right to ** on someone for being proud of killing it. Kaivar, good kill and nice work catching the pod as well. Pirates - The Invisible Fist of Darwin you're welcome
