    If you can't win with that setup Mr I'm Done with this game whinner you seriously lack skills to play the game and you should work on that instead of whinning. For your kind information I know a shooter who is on 63 winning streak and still counting.

    Edit: 67 winning streak

    Excuse me, but I think shooters have had the upper hand for most of these events. They had the firepower in TDM and the sustain for Cap 'n' kill. I think the middle finger as @Spongeboat so politely put it is well deserved.

    Btw if you wanna play this mode with shooter/defender, USE GEAR LUBE.

    However I must add that the same-ship system really needs to happen.

    But you guys will still find that there are some people better at duelling than others, and I suggest you learn how to duel.

    iam a 8.7k gear score shooter (or 8k gear score sometimes ) and the MM put me against enforcers and most of times my enemy has around 10k gear score sometimes 12k , once i played against am mk7 enforcer i needed to shoot both of my ExC just to drop one of his tesla shield (he had 2)

    iam now playing speeder because i can't play if most of speeders and enforcers kill you once then run away the whole game and stuns me and then tesla shield

    Yeah, I'm seriously lacking skill for not having a weapon that able to break those double bubble enfos. I'm seriously lacking skill for having a ship that can't chase the yellow slippery little bugger around. I'm also seriously lacking skill when I don't have enough agility to follow whenever they decided to take me to a journey around the rock for three minutes.

    I'm not saying that I'm the top shit, but I can manage. I managed to reach 3800 infamy with mk6 by being a completely f2p player. Not saying that's super impressive or anything, but I think that's pretty admirable considering you can find a lot of mk7 around 3000 these days.

    Now let's see what you got "Mr. I'm too skillful to take a criticism"?

    And who's this shooter on 67 winstreak you're talking about?
    Are you talking about American Marauder? Cause he doesn't count. He has all these Legendary T5 grestoque shit.

    Well, I can tell you this, being another mk6 player who's been to 3800+(I've done it in 8k ish battles, so not very skilled), certain ships are better at certain things.

    Let's talk about cap ''' kill, shall we? Speeders and enfos got completely screwed over, including myself, in that event set. Why? We were too squishy to stay in the cap zone while you shooter mains overwhelmed us with raw firepower, while defenders plain bullied us by charging us down.

    TDM? Sure we had some fun, but again, speeders were screwed over. We didn't open fights, we finished them. Meaning we didn't get many stars back then, despite having 7-8 kills.

    So when we finally get our chance to shineyou guys decide to say that this is "unfair"?

    I agree with shooter having slight upper hand on previous events, but it's situational and not always the case. In some TDM battles I've met some tactical yellow ships that are constantly stunning me with tesla bolt, severely reducing my DPS. Not to mention double bubble enfos that able to absorb huge amount of damage, negating the shooter high dps in the first place.

    But this event is different. The yellow boats upper hand is astronomically high, especially the double bubble enfos.

    And I do actually use lube gear, albeit a bit under leveled. But I can tell you, no amount of gear lube can follow when speeders pull their "goes right through you" signature move. Against double bubble enfos, gear lube is just useless.

    Have you tried "parrying"?

    Do this. When you think a 180° is imminent, slam reverse, turning like you want to shoot him in the back. You first have to create a false opportunity tho, make the speeder 180° you from the side, not the front. Its what enfos do when speeders try to 180° them, except for the fact that they don't have to create the opportunity.

    That's exactly what I did. But as I said the turret is still too slow for it to work, a speeder with good OB or nitro is already way ahead by the time I able to lock. Maybe if I have T5 epic gear lube I might able to pull that of with high success rate, but for now with my shitty rare under leveled rudder the success rate is less than 25%.

    Yeah, the turret tracking on shooters is shit lol. As an ex-shooter player, I very clearly remember the pain, even in a mk4. But then again, the shooter is not meant for brawling. And the defender is not meant for chasing enemies.

    Yes, shooter and defender are more team dependent than speeder and enforcer.
    I'm fully aware of that and it frustrates me knowing that to play as shooter and defender on 1vs1 is a disadvantage. Despite that, I can't switch to my yellow boats because they're under leveled. When I put my maxed weapons on them, the game would say that I have unusual weapon and item combination and brand me as a gear score manipulating scum. While it's not actually my intention, it's just all I have.

    That's just a big feelsbadman.

    I had to ditch the last two events too xD. As an F2P enfo player, my bubbles were were not strong enough to survive cap n kill hehe

    I might have to ditch this event.
    But on the plus side, I'm gonna have more time this weekend to get out and do something with my life, lol.
    I guess it's not all that bad.

    The sad thing is that my mk3 speeder is losing to mk2 defenders. Is that bad? :(
