The ship with the biggest cargo space is the Skipping Stone, it holds 475. But do not try fighting with it, it is very fragile in combat.

I would ask for some advice, how to fight against Horus with Conq or Sabre. I make masive damage to him in first pass then is all over. I just cant get him in front of my guns. He is runnig oll over the place. Mostly behind my ass. Mad

I fight 20 thimes today and i have try everything what i know. Its like i try to hit a annoying fly whit 50 kg hammer, but she repeatedly poke me with toothpick in to my eyes - GRHHHHH. Evil or Very Mad

Any ideas, what i can try?

Thanks for every input on this. Smile

3. Maneuevering
One tip i can give here: if you fight a enemy which has far more maneuverability (say anubis VS horus, to be extreme) dont try to outmaneuever it. This ship can fly cyrcles around you with ease. Take your time to think...use the engine kill to turn and get away from it a bit. If you manage to get distance you can start a heads on pass again. That way the maneuverability is not that important.

OK how can i get away from horus if he is on my ass in the moment. When i try to turn with engine kill he is allready passing beside me. Confused

What i am doing wrong here? Sad

I don't know if anyone even bothers to read this anymore, but I might as well post anyway.

There are two important things to keep in mind in a fight.

A. Survive. You can't win if you're dead. If you're still licking wounds from that last pass, do not circle around for another one. Just dodge as best you can. While not shooting, don't hold down your thruster, tap it. It will make you difficult to shoot at as well as conserving thrust energy. When turning(this is a somewhat risky maneuver), reverse your engines. It will help you to turn faster.

B. Adaptability. Watch your opponent. Learn what he or she is doing. Most duels often fall into a repetition of the same thing over and over again. A good duelist will learn how to identify these patterns and act on them. If your opponent is circling close to you, use mines. If you're jousting, use missiles and torps. Change your tactics. You're more likely to win if you are unpredictable.

Some lesser things. Don't get pissed off if you lose. You just respawn and have done nothing except gain some valuable experience. Also, don't call someone a hacker. Modders will be able to kill you in about 10 seconds or less without even blinking. Some pilots are just exceptionally good.

I'm bumping this post in an attempt to help restore some of the lost respect around here. This is not the post I was looking for, the one I sought was entirely about "respectful pvp", by Stoert, but alas I can't find the post. If anyone knows the post I'm referring to, please bump it so that it might appear on the front page awhile for the new(and old)clients to see. Or, maybe Stoert would do us the honors of retyping the original post with any revisions he may see fit to incorporate into "respectful pvp".
Entropy, you know your own opinions about such matters are equally respected amongst us so anything you would have to say will be equally appreciated.
Respect all.

oh and one more bit of advice,don't accept a pvp if your in an dromedary and your opponents in an Anubis Mk2 with great weapons,just common sense Laughing

btw where can you get a horus? is is that one of those "NPC only"
like the highbred?
