Topic: The best pilots of the D2

[FPF-SCM_TraceyG_XC]

List your top ten... no make it fifteen, best pilots you think are still flying the D2 today. (I'm bored). Might be interesting to see how it looks.

[Dizzy]

That are STILL flying? I'll take that as in the past 3 or 4 campaigns... And this list isnt exactly in order...

1.) Madelf - Rom
2.) Corbomite - Any Race (The best of the best. The Top Gun of any list. Ever. If you ever saw the light of day in a battle with him, he would be the nightmare that lurketh within the shadow your ship would cast. Get away... far away. Fools are those who dont fear him.)
3.) Die Hard - Fed
4.) Kreug - Klink
5, 6.) Kroma/S'cipio - Gorn
7.) Chuut - Mirak
8.) Marcus
9.) 762 - Hydran
10.) Maverick - Tholian
11.) Blade - ISC
12.) Firesoul - Lyran
13.) DM6 - Hydran
14.) Doggy - Klink
15.) DrAzteca - Fed

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

1) Die Hard
2) Madelf
3) Corbomite

Those are the top 3 have to think about the others a bit and I'm off to work now.

[Corbomite]

LOL!

If you saw the way FS smacked me around on GW4 you wouldn't be saying those things. Of course he out weighed me by 50 BPV and I flew like a n00b (I had just finished an hour long battle with EE's NHK and I guess I didn't feel like another), rushing him and getting waaaaaay to close to his R torp.... twice. 

[Dizzy]

Yeah, everyone has their day.

Hey, you want to fly SG4 as an ISC? Have you read the storline and description?

[Farfarer]

Pardek - Romulan

[762_XC]

Probably not in order

1) Corbomite
2) Cougar
3) DieHard
4) Firesoul
5) Madelf
6) Azteca
7) Bearslayer
8 ) Krueg
9) Dizzy 
10) Kroma
11) Chuut
12) S'cippy
13) EmeraldEdge
14) Blade, if he was still playing
15) Doggy, when he still plays

[madelf]

Well, since the above lists aren't in order, I won't bother making mine either.  Here's what I think though, for what it's worth.

Dizzy, Die Hard, MuadDib, Byda, Agave, Chuut, Kroma, Jem, Krueg, Dax, Soreyes, Doomstone, FireSoul, Mazeppa (he did have a cameo in gw4), Reejr, 762, BearSlayer, hmm, I'm at 17, better stop.

[Hexx]

Guys, really you're making me blush here.

Only thing is it's spelled "Hexx"
Not "Madelf"


Thanks though, it's good to know you've all been paying attention.

[FPF-DrAzteca]

Here is my list ( not in order )
Die Hard
Madelf
Firesoul
Dizzy
Kroma
Corbomite
Krueg
Chuut
Jem
Pardek
TraceyG
Bearslayer
762
Deadmatix
Maverick

[Kroma BaSyl]

Soreye's says he saw Kroma Kill a Z-BB with a PF, well OK PFL, but you get the point. BTW like my new sig pic?

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

OK here is the rest of the list and I'll be so bold as to place them IN order

1) Die Hard
2) MadElf
3) Corbomite

At this point the list splits into 2 sections.  The first is on a P v P basis only.  The second also includes the pilots impact on the strategic campaign, things like doing those dirty DV raising chores where necessary, planning, and my favorite being sneaky.

Pt I

4 )         762
5 )         Skull-n-Bonz
6 )         Jem
7 )         Pardek
8 )         Firesoul
9 )         Maud Dib
10 )       Dizzy, Kroma, S'Cipio & Tracey G  (tie)



PtII

4 )        S'Cipio
5 )        Kreug
6 )        Deadman 6
7 )        Warsears
8 )        Soreyes
9 )        Agave
10 )      Hooch

*note there are several excellent pilots who just barely missed these lists, but don't miss my downed shields, and a few who would have made it but may not still be playing.

I have to admit it is a hard list to accurately compile as my listing is base merely on my personal experiences, and some pilots might deserve better or worse ranks.  For example, as far as the doing of the dirty work I have a lesser knowledge of coalition players who do this, but I do know that when Kreug is on the entire coalition seems to move with more purpose. 

Also, some pilots I've only tended to fly with or against when they are in larger assigned ships, Tracey G may rate higher than I have her, but most of my experiences with her was when she was flying a DN.  Similarly, perhaps some of the pilots fly beeter when they have a better wingman than myself, or fly worse vs a combo not including me.  I know for a fact that Skull seems to have my number, but perhaps he doesn't have that of others, so it is a very personal list. 

Two particular pilots I suspect might make my list in the future for part 1 are Alfman and Dr. Azteca as they seem to get better each time I face them.

[FPF-DieHard]

I ain't naming any names until I see them in War Cruiser Hell 

[Soreyes]

Soreye's says he saw Kroma Kill a Z-BB with a PF, well OK PFL, but you get the point. BTW like my new sig pic?

KROMA YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!   

 

Hell I did not even know that I was moving untill it was to late

omg, you think DH is better than me?   

[KAT J'inn]

<sniff>

<takes a prozac>

[Dizzy]

omg you think those other guys in the top 4-9 slots are better than me?  

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

omg, you think DH is better than me?   

Yes, for 2 reasons

First, he is on voice comms and can thus make his wingman fly better.

Second, I'm only half as likely to get a kill on you as on him but he is 5 times more likely to kill me.  You take less chances and he pulls off some J.T. Kirk moves, as he says "I'd rather be lucky than good".

Don't take offense MadElf I still think you are wicked good, but I just got the balls to say what I think without the necessity of political correctness of not putting the pilots in order.  I hope you can respect that.  And don't worry I place myself far down the list below you.

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

omg you think those other guys in the top 4-9 slots are better than me?  

You would likely rank higher Dizzy if you flew to your potential and gave up a few of those "Stupid Pilot Tricks" on those who wont fall for them.  On GW 1 you flew like a champ in that 2 v 2 where we winged together, yet so many times I've seen you screw up trying on of the aforementioned tricks.  Now my matches with you are among the most fun, I admit, but the pilots listed above you are less likely to try those kinds of tactics or get a wingman killed.  Do you know how many times I've had a certain Tequilla saturated Lizard crying on my shoulder about how he could have finally beaten Die Hard if not for Dizzy?  Its a sad sight, trust me.....

Anyhow you could definately rate much higher if you didn't so underestimate your foe.
