it happens when i forget swapping the MFD back to something else then the weapon screen. I've assigned all the weapons to one group and forgot it. When i'm flying and shooting, i sometimes "trigger" the MFD screen and that causes the swapping of the weapon groups in fight. If you switch back to another MFD it's fine. I think SC weirdness is a good summary for that. :D
so power to shields give you a lot of more dmg reduction (50% i think?), so it's kind of the default while i have shields. After then i usually switch between weapons (mostly when i need more rounds to shoot with the cannons) or rarely to thruster. I'm still testing stuff out in that regard, sometimes i also feel comfortable to switch to weapon to deliver a lot of dps.
In general I think it's a great basis and way better than the old model. However, there are still a lot of things to do (for example Light Fighter adjustments, the speed bubble in general, fighting for positions, and so on). I totally agree to yogi's post on spectrum a few weeks back (robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/request-for-yogi-can-you-make-a-video-to-show-us-w/6818844). So i think the general movement, agile fighting which we love to do in light fighters is currently in a rather bad state, but the group pvp is way, way better already. I think Yogi will do a lot on improving the stuff which is currently not good. I'm looking forward to that!
@@cataangle It's great to hear a skilled pilots take on it. I think we need more agility in our 'performance envelopes' if they're not going to boost up the speeds we have to better let us jink and dodge, especially in fighters. But I also think I can actually give it to people and have them enjoy it/get better.
I totally agree! I also think that it’s right so ship new stuff early to players instead of long development cycles to shape it together. I hope CIG will stay with this approach, rather than developing stuff in the back yard.
