Scenario: Miner O vs SFs

[djrbk]

Belter Adv. Fig with Ult 2s loaded.

Unleash raw power, focus DF spike after shields gone (but jamming it all to anyway) Lots of overboosting/chaffing to avoid hunters.

If still alive after SF comes close enough to start shooting me after missile volley, eye him, gun down.

Rip boost back home, reload, look for new miners.

QUOTE (Paradigm2 @ Nov 4 2008, 02:11 PM) Against sfs you should be more concerned against defending your own miners. You can send out 1 lt. int per miner to kill theirs because I guarantee you in a PU game no one will be using an sf to d.

Why hello there!

SFS can be excellent defense against some forms of attack, on the provision of emeny numbers and presence of friendly nans.

Against attacking SFS, defending SFS can easily gank the attackers with a well placed hunter, QF's or sniper fire. Given that it is unlikely that attacking sfs bring scouts, leaving your shields on and missiles loaded in cargo is a good way to survive the wrath of other miner O sfs that realise that you are a real threat. Similarly, due to your attacking range and innate stealth; staying "close" to the miner will not be as hard as an issue if they had ints which you could wear down with missiles.

Unless you have huge numbers or good pilots, competent miner D in sfs is achievable; made more so by the odds of someone trying to be a hero and soloing it.

As for attacking, any craft will do, I'd carry extra counters and go in first to buy the team time and waste some enemy hunters.

Depends whos in the SF and who's flying the ship...

I'd bring a scout along to eye the miner + sf's and pick off sfs...

OR

I'd bring an Enh Fig and fire at the miner...and if the SF's get spotted...I'll throw a dumb at him and then finish him with a spray of bullets...

Or Belts Ints

Clearly.

But the best response is flag 4.
