Range is your friend. Gunships with singularity need to be close to be reliable. Also, you can force them to use overdrive and then go away (recon cloak, cov op camo)
In fact, I’m more worried about fed gunship with bubbles than empire ones, since the fed gunship can be on top of you in seconds. I love my Wolf M setup with bubbles. So much fun if you play alone, just nonstop afterburning everywhere with the same speed than an empire ceptor.
And btw, good players can be difficult to fight no matter what they are flying.
what r bubbles?
