[quote="shonensan";p="205119"]1. Sniper are the most powerful weapons of the void with the slowest refire rate. Who use sniper weapons can concentrate a lot on movements because they need only 1 second to hit the target and do a lot of damage. Fast ships are the best for sniper weapons, they are harder to hit and when you will master advanced movements and you'll be able to outturn your enemy they will be lethal. The downside of using sniper weapons is that you don't have to miss shots. But even if you don't have a perfect aim, mastering movements will lead you to perfect positions that will let you take aim easly.
2. Brawling weapons are a lot harder to master. You need more time than sniper weapons to do high damage and since when you take aim your movements are limited you will be an easy target for your enemy. So movements with brawling weapons are vital. You need to understand well your enemy ship, weapons and fighting style and most important watch closely to enemy ship directions. So in my opinion who master movements with brawling weapons can be easly called one of the best pvpers. For brawling weapons slower ships with a lot of armor and weapons hardpoints are the best since you will get hit a lot and wore weapons will let you do more damage in less time.
3. Missiles in my personal experience are an handicap. There's no doubt that they are powerful and can take an enemy down with one hit if you mount enough of them. Also they will let you hit the target without focusing on taking aim giving you the chance to move freely and avoid most of the shots the enemy throws at you. But if the enemy has good timing with cd these missiles can kill yourself too and you will lose the fight. Why giving the enemy the opportunity to kill you with only a cd? Maybe you're killing him and you just blow yourself up losing the pvp. Another disadvantage is that you will never improve your aim using missiles because you'll obviously rely on them on not on your guns and for that you will not master movements either since there's only one way to throw missiles...in front of your enemy. So your fighting style will become repetitive with always the same fighting pattern and the enemy will be able, after a little bit of time, to read your movements and counteract them.
These are the fighting styles on void. I suggest to new players to start practicing with sniper weapons since they will let you focus on movements. Even if you don't hit your enemy the first times don't worry since as i always say the first thing to do in a pvp is "not getting hit". If the enemy can't hit you he can't kill you. Practicing movements will give you a lot of opportunities to shot at your enemy and if you're good enough you will be able to hit the enemy while his red crosshair isn't even moving...easy shot.
Then when you become good enough with sniper weapons i suggest to change to brawler weapons...doing that will make you fight in a different way and can be hard but with the knowledge of sniper weapons it will be easier than starting learning pvp with brawling weapons. Also knowing both brawler and sniper fighting style will give you an arsenal of movements to use in pvps and you will be able to adapt your fighting style to every enemy you'll fight. That will meke you an awesome pvper.
Also practicing fights against 2 or 3 enemies at the same time will give you the opportunity to learn other movements that will let you last longer when ganged, like the costant use of strafes buttons, thruster and reverse thruster and engine kill.
The most important thing to do in the end is to configure your keyboard and mouse in the right way...using less buttons and placing them in the right position will make your fights a lot more easier.

@SHONENSAN-Totally Agree, but as an complementary idea, i want 2 say, in my opynion, a real fight, is a Guns-only fight. Dont missunderstand me, i really dont care if my opponent is a sniper or brawler, if he fly an Anubis or Wa1, Eagle, Discoverer, or wht ever, but in my mind, a guns -only, is almoust like a good job(Like a good sex party-that i prefer in real mode):)
In my minde, brawlers with strong ships, or rktiers, R like pwning a n old women with brute force
Im not playing the smart, but those who knows me, noticed i prefere 2 use brawler seting on light fighters not on Dynosaurus ones.
Reverse is, i respect any player preferences, settings etc... cause my job is 2 'kill them''(with Shonen its a little hard)
So, everybody use Yr prefered setup, I w8 ya in space!!!
Salute ya --Lizard
