Id just like to say that I was podding pirates in a squad today and then was challenged to a 1v1, by someone in a shock like me, but who had alot more rares. I initially said no, beacause my shock has very few rares, and therefore I THOUGHT it would be a one sided fight.
I decided to pvp him anyway, expecting to lose, and i realised how brilliantly designed the stun vs stun pvp system is. Despite all the rares on my opponents ship, the fight was VERY close, and it lasted a long time, mainly because he was able to ab away and heal as I did not have the firepower to finish him off, and vice versa. He won in the end, but the fight lasted over 2 minutes, which I was surprised by as in mizar the 1v1 stun pvps lasted around 30 secs. It was a really fun fight and id just like to say kudos to the devs for how awesome the pvp system is.
The thing I really liked about it was that despite not having the time to grind the rares and therefore some may think that I was at a disadvantage, the rares do not actually matter that much, and like i say, there were many points in the fight where if I had been a few inches closer so that i could have fired, I would of won.
The other thing I like about it is the mixed tactics that people use in pvp. I use stun charge and stun dome at different times to him, and therefore the fight was more enjoyable than just stunning at exactly the same time. I feel that as noone really pvps often, no tactic has been discovered that is considerably better than others, so the pvp fights are more enjoyable.
Of course, at the moment the stun is overpowered vs the other ships, but once they are balanced right I hope to see more people in pm fighting, as it is really good fun.
Cheers,
