When you have 10 sniper 1 combat drone 3 rix sfs vs a bomber 1 turret and 4 nans, you have two options. Spike bomber via combat drones or kill the nans (just at sniper range.) Retards rammed the bomber, and 3 pods like that. WHEN YOU USE Combat drone 3, their nans should pop in 2 secs (the aleph was freshly caltropped). But no, you $#@! up somehow, and lose the game to plain bombers.
I demand cadet having specific Rix Sf lessons. They aren't you everyday hunter sf.

Doing the same with Hunter 3 might have worked but still would have been a mistake.
Always always go for the nans in a pug. Spikes are for squad games.
Unfortunately, there's nothing cadet instructors can do to drill into newbie's heads to STFN.
Either they get it or they don't.
Doesn't matter if you're Rix or Dreg. If your team can't STFN and they all want the bomber kill, you're screwed.

1. Spot fancy red writing in the middle of your screen with someone's name
2. Hit insert
3. Repeatedly jab your deploy key
4. Watch selected target explode
5. Goto 1
6. ???
7. Profit?

Sharpshooter, it's really easy to demand. Why don't you just write and article on how to use rix sfs and send them to cdt instructors?? We cdts will be very happy to have more material to learn from.
Do that if you feel you can, which i'm sure you are, since otherwise you shouldn't be complaining about people not being able to use rix sfs.

I belive its another case of
"Oh noes im a noob who doesnt know how to play, I wish some one would make it really really easy for me to win"
Noobs will be noobs... untill they get yelled at for somthing stupid.
"Doesn't matter if you're Rix or Dreg. If your team can't STFN and they all want the bomber kill, you're screwed"

Come on, even with three peeps getting podded on the bomber you have CD3 which is the best small ship weapon in the game. Even one SF should be able to pick off nans with CD3...
All you have to do is cloak, target the enemy and hit "drop", you don't need a guide for that!

Well to be fair, there isn't any other weapon in the game that works that way, and if you're relatively new you probably have only had a few brief encounters with it.
Most people don't know how to use SFs for the same reason - they're very much unlike the "point and click" mechanics of ints, figs, and scouts.

To add to what TA said, Tac is also an extremely uncommon techpath. Most games are exp or sup. A handful of commanders have the balls to go tac, and even then it's tac+exp (and sometimes tac+sup) where you're defending in ints (or figs). To really learn how to do something, you have to practice it, and practicing defending in Rix SFs isn't usually going to happen since it's such an uncommon scenario.

It's one simple button to press...I'm sure CDT teaches that.
