Ohh, how wrong you are. Plasma Arc on frigates is childs play. I’v been even tackling Tacklers, and other inties who think they are fine hiding behind that beacon while capturing it. You can aproach enemies practically invisible, just dont use your afterburners when close by. You can even plasma arc command ships in dogfights, when they are counting on their special module instead of afterburners.
That ability is much more than killing frigs. I would even argue that using it on frigs other than snipers is somewhat waste of cooldown.
Sunder … his ship is wobbling hence the difficulty in using plasma arc. same thing for me.
Yes, this. Think of trying to aim that plasma arc but when you put YOUR crosshair (the little circle) on the enemy ship, instead of your ship ALIGNING to that, it wobbles (as if it is a boat and overcompensating) and it does this 2-3 times before it finally rights itself.
it is look like slow internet connection.
No, it’s not. Tested, I average from anywhere from 20 to 100 ping, which is well within the norm.
And I thought I was just plain bad at using interceptors.
I fix that by tapping Ctrl once (you’ll go into a different camera mode), and then you’ll find your inty flying in a straight line again.
Testing this now. :edit: Didn’t work.
Also, I flew an ECM inty today for the first time (I never liked them when the game first came out) and it doesn’t have this problem. It was a Jericho inty, and the inty’s I have issues with are both Fed. (Hawk and Swift)
This also makes it impossible to use Microwarp engines because it tries to right itself and shoots off in another direction, NOT in the way I am aiming or trying to aim the ship… Ugh.
It’s almost as if they cut the rotational speed of interceptors in half or something. My fighter spins faster than these things do.
:edit#3: Where is the stats for YAW in the ship specifications? All planes (and spaceships by extension) have ROLL, PITCH, and YAW. There’s no stat for the latter.
:edit#4: Yeah, this doesn’t happen with the other factions interceptors, only Federation. Maybe it’s to do with their higher speed? I don’t know but something about the fed inty’s feels off and wobbly.
