A little poll here - what do you think is the ultimate test of a pilot's skills in EV? It can be missions, taking on ships, anything.

Take on a fleet of alien fighters. The cruisers are too slow to be anything but a nuisance, but the fighters are extemely fast, have great turning, and insane shield regeneration.

Pah! That's easy. Just get lots of deadly escorts, cloak, and watch the destruction begin.

you=shuttle with a proton cannon nothing else.
enemy=concure sol that has defence fleet of alien Cruisers(rember...cruisers launch 3 fighters).
do that and you are, by far, the best pilot on the boards.

I believe that the proton cannon's average rate of fire, and the insane rate at which alien shields regenerate would make this impossible.

Not tough if you cloak. BTW, why aren't you playing in EVW? You made the thing! The Rebellion is dying! :frown:

I've never tried with the cloak.
Nope, I'm not involved in the webstory. I like to start them and let everyone else run them.

That's the plan.
(I watch too many Sprint commercials... :p)
Originally posted by Captain Skyblade: **That's the plan. **
Yes, the "plan". Nice plan, thanks. I really needed the help, there.
Heh. Now, about ultimate tests, I think it's taking over Sol without a single caffine or bathroom break. No, you can't use the laptop on the toilet.
Since I've done the Alien missions in a Scoutship (and was surprised at just how easy it really was) ... and conquering SOL in anything is IMO not a test of skill, but a test of one's ability to handle boredom and fatigue ... I'll go with Rak's "defeating MB (in anything)". Second would be travis b's test, accepting a merc mission in a Shuttlecraft.

Do I really HAVE to mention that you do it WITHOUT deadly escorts and a cloaking device?
<taps head despairingly>
Originally posted by Mazca: **Do I really HAVE to mention that you do it WITHOUT deadly escorts and a cloaking device? **
Of course
Do every mission in the game--you can do both rebel and confed if you accept both beginning missions at once, turn coat from the feds, or possibly other ways. Then dominate every stellar in the game. Do it all without escorts and without buying any warship or fighter--just freighters. If you're REALLY insane, do it in a shuttle with a laser. You can provide evidence of the domination thing too--just post a screenshot of your map.
