BTW, a lot of grammatically incorrectstuffis actually acceptable in informal writings and conversations.

And your examples of "informal" talk is more like "gangsta lean" than informal.



Please return to your regularly scheduled thread.

It's a heavy bomber-class ship. You have to fly it differently than a light ship. And to be honest, in these sorts of games, I find the heavier, slower ships to be the harder ones to fly WELL. A few tips on heavy ships and how to work them for all they are worth (coming from an Alliance Ace that uses a Longprobe).

1) Your best cornering rate is going to be at roughly 1/3 of your maximum throttle, so slow down to turn.
2) You need an engine with a good YPR. This is more important than top speed, since your top speed will suck no matter what.
3) Get a booster that has a high max increase and a quick recharge time. You'll likely be using this thing to get out of trouble or give yourself a quick speed jolt to escape enemy fire from turrets.
4) Use the Mass, Luke! You can load some heavy armor and shields into one of those ships. Do so.
5) Jousting is your friend. You can easily win a joust against a lighter ship with your heavy shields and guns.
6) Engine Override and Shield Reinforcement will turn you into a beast. Make sure you have them installed as programs.
7) Get a high recharge capacitor. You may miss more often due to being out cornered, so you will want to lay down lots of supressive fire.
8) Learn to use roll to your advantage. Once you begin cornering in a given direction, it takes a long time to switch to a new cornering direction, because you have to decelerate your current yaw/pitch before accelerating into a new one. However, if you simply roll your ship so that your current yaw/pitch now leads you in the proper direction, you can corner much more efficiently. Rolling is the trick to keeping a slow ship on the tail of a fast ship, hands down.

You just made me laugh.


Informal as in:


"who are you talking to" vs "whom are you talking to"


"you got that?" vs "have you got that?"


"you okay?" vs "are you okay?"


...et cetera

You have went from a Fighter (Keyword in this FIGHT) to a Bomber. Bombers are assault craft. Think B-17. Its a Fine craft with a Escort team if your going against some Big Craft. Get used to it and Use it as a Bomber with friends as a escort team and I think youll find a new respect for it.
