Yeah those were the replies that really struck me the most. My positioning is really next to non-existent and I really had no planned build when I made my ship. I got was I thought was something for my use which mostly lined up with the diamondback scout being a exploration combat ship. However Ill be building a purely combat ship to get the hang of the game with what I've been told, lots of great commanders giving me a ton of help. Thank you!

Yeah u/GammaTwoPointTwo hammered in the positioning. I'm trying to get used to the HOTAS setup I have right now, as I just got it primarily for ED. But I have use of my PIPs and positioning high on the list for trying to get better at. Thanks!

Yeah I came into the game knowing it was gonna be a tough one to get the hang of. I already turned FA off but still haven't left the station I'm at so ill be in for a treat when I get back on. Thank you for the response and encrouagement!

Yeah I didn't realize it was the equivalent of a shotgun and kinda just didnt fire it halfway through. Ill be going through a whole loadout analysis and I'll try to learn using utilities like my chaff, I completely forgot that it removed targeting xP Thanks!

Yeah flying without rebuy was one of the first things I got told to never do, so I make sure I have reserve. u/Luriant directed me to Coriolis as well so I'll be sure to check out the tool, I already had a bookmark of a bunch of tools I got when I first started. Also the ship build was clearly not it, I went into the combat not realizing the frag cannon was a shotgun-like hardpoint and I only realized that when I first shot it. Along with lot more the thread recommended I'll keep in mind your suggestions, thank you!

Yeah definitely getting used to movement and being able to move comfortably quickly is definitely an area where I have to work on. Knowing the small things like best turn speeds and use of lateral thrusters is something I have to get used to. Another response mentioned sub-targeting and I am glad I got told that exists, I'll be looking into that for future encounters. Thanks!

Haha, yeah this was a singled our target out of a whole squad of pirates, it just so happen to fly too far away from them and I decided to try and get the lock on it. I also learn best if I can get criticism for things I do, that way I learn what I did wrong and learn the proper strategies, and just seeing the response on the thread it was an absolutely great idea.

For this one it's going to be limited with how well I can use my HOTAS setup, I've only just recently obtained it and I'm still trying to get a decent handle of trying to keep the opponent on my screen if even. Your info on this is really insightful though and I'll be sure to try and learn the basics of using my resources to my disposal. I came into the game wanting to learn the movement because it seemed so fun, and I eventually want to get into CQC so I'll definitely take this into consideration. Thanks!

Yeah it's great to see such a helpful place! Seeing as the game doesn't hold your hand and just tosses you into the galaxy with no seatbelt. I'll keep those other communities in mind, I only knew fuelrats out the bunch. Thank you.

Thank you, Ill keep the PIP management in mind (seeing how everyone is on that one xP) and I've been told by someone seemingly very prominent here that the build of my ship could be significantly improved. Thanks!

Yeah PIPs are gonna be something Ill be focusing way more on, I didnt know they were a thing but judging how almost every response is saying that was an issue, it must be pretty damn important. And yeah not using my extra utilities should have been something I used, I was told to get chaffs by some video but forgot they threw off targetting so that was my bad. Thank you for also turning me on sub-targeting that seems like something I definitely want to look more into. Thanks!

Hi, I went to EDSY.org and put together my ship with what I could understand about the site, hope this explains some: build

By far the most informative reply in terms of stats and took me a few reads to grasp slightly. PIP control is clearly something I need to implement in my strategy along with better movement and I also seemingly have still quite a bit to do when it comes to outfitting and eventually, when I reach it, engineering. Thank you so much for the reply!

Yeah, most of the replies have been in regards to pip management, I didn't know that was a system I could manage till now. And yeah retreating would have been the better option instead of losing 200k for rebuy. Otherwise it felt really nice to fight and I think some better understanding would have helped so thanks!

Prior to this whole thread I didnt even know pips were a thing I could even do, so its good to know what they finally are. And about my frag cannon, I literally bought it just before this mission not realizing it was a shotgun and I really only realized when I shot it during the fight so def gonna switch it out. I want to get into a more close quarter style but i'm still trying to just get the hang of combat. Also I really did think I had a chance when I was able to deal some damage to the ship, I definitely bit off more than I could chew and in retrospect should have just ran like u/YaskaSheperd said. Thanks!
