I been in this game for less than a year… but I have been in over 6,000 battles and I consider myself to be an “Average” since my Skill rating fluctuates between 1200-1400 range dependant upon the week.
Over the course of these battles … specially in T3+ I have run across a couple of “conversations” ( and usually laced with name calling and not pleasent) sometimes during or right afterwards which essentially amounts to the opposing player slightly upset because the “BATTLE” between us may not have been “FAIR” in thier eyes.
Normally it has been
60% of the time it is because of being KILLED by a LRF Jericho Guided Torpedo or Empire “SNIPER”
Some ppl hate to be killed by a Long range be it Jericho or Empire.
35% of the time because they were targets by the various ECM modules and then blown to pieces by the little bity missiles one by one by one… kind of like paper cuts.
Some ppl hate being killed by EMC’s
5% of the time being told I was lucky that they were in thier “Cooldown” so they were at a disadvantage.
There is only a small chance of strict one on one encounter in the first place. Anything lasting more than 3-4 secs and you will have multiple ppl either assisting or against you. ( unless you happen to be off remotely away from everyone)
The funny part is most of these “encounters” has been with ppl I normally would not have expected it to come from… Those with SKILL RATING ABOVE 1500.
I find this to be funny … So I beg the ask the question… is there SUCH a THING as a FAIR Fight ?
As for T1… a tackler can engage a gunship and bait it into using Overdrive, then cloak and wait till Overdrive expires, then decloak and TP and fire away. Fair?
Empire snipers is much more overpowered than Jericho ones.
damage should be nerfed.
What is OP is the skill of the sniper x the stupidity of the target. If the sniper is very good and the player likes to fly in straight line while flying a spacewhale the sniper will murder the low skill player. If the sniper is poor (vast majority) they will miss everything and will cause no dammage at all.
As always theres no OP, theres just Skill, Skill is OP, so what, nerf the fingers of the ones flying ships? Thats what you want to propose here?
Jerry ones are not UP, they are fullfiling a role, and can be pretty anoying for the enemy team if the player is skilled, but since this last patch that encouraged to do dammage instead of kills, many bad players started flying jerry torp frigs to gain any points, thus we have a lot of braindead playing it, therefore it apears to be weaker, while again falls in the parameter of Skill, not ship being OP or UP.

If so what is considered a FAIR FIGHT ?
There is nothing fair anywhere. War/Battle is not supposed to be fair. It is all about the victory.
No one likes to be killed. Mostly they are upset about themselves and blame others to cope with it.
You can tell them in a polite way: That they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Or
You can tell them in a rather harsh way: That they were too stupid to avoid getting them self killed.
Fair fight is a fight fought by imposed rules, i.e. not breaking any mechanics or cheating, so as long as you don’t use anything external it is a fair fight.
A fair fight is when after two minutes you aren’t sure who will win.
that is not a fair fight, that is balanced match, quite a different thing.
What kind of fight is it when a squad brings to a CTB T3 fight n00bs with low T2 and only one ship and the other team has all 4 ships?
