Blitz,
You surprise me. It can be a really frustrating thing to have someone "jerk you around" online, but to come into forums saying "Player X is a Stoopidhead" is poor form.
Even if Player X is a Stoopidhead.
An important thing to remember is, that if you go into a battle and give your enemy the kind of fight he's looking for, he's already got the advantage.
The Defiant is a nippy ship that can pack a whallop. Whether intentionally or not, as Klingon, he was using very sound tactics.
Once your crew improves and you can get a decent range, going "toe to toe" with the Feds is for the impatient or overconfident.
As a Klingon, I will use my cloak to maximum adantage. I don't want your ship anywhere near mine. I will acheive maximum range, decloak, shoot, then cloak again and reposition.
Unfortunately, it's a tactic that most Fed players seem to find frustrating, usually because the battle is not going the "way" they wanted.
They usually make a point of stating that even though they "have not been defeated" they are leaving anyway because they're bored.
Pretty dumb excuse, since they are leaving because they are losing.
Now let me point out that I'm definately not trying to "peg" you as one of those types of players.
Secondly, to cloak about, just for the sake of "hiding", hoping your enemy will disengage so you can have the victory is poor play. It's a tactic invented by the Federation. You may remember a post about it a while back, about fed players in smaller ships, who used to warp about the map, hoping their enemy would get bored and disengage.
Unfortunately, if Player X was being that kind of Pillock, you allowed him to gain a psychological victory over you as well as a (questionably) tactical one.
You have a wealth of advantages open to you as a Fed player. It's generally recognised that "cloaked" ships are too easy to detect.
Fit a computer V, flip your scanners on, and use those probes.
Ultimately, if someone's being an "arse" online, why waste your time with them. Warp out and enjoy yourself with players who came to play.
This is going to feel kind of horrible for you, but if Player X visits the Forum, he's going to think that he's twice as clever as he thought before, since he's driven you to making this post.
Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level.
It's the same thing with playing them.
Hope you cool off soon. You've lots of posts on the Forums, and I read them all with interest.
