Holy smokes! I absolutely blitz most npcs with even level 2 engineered multicannons. I used to struggle against even expert craft, but last night, I took out 2 FAS with my Python mk2, one deadly and the other expert, in like less than a minute. And i had upgraded my thrusters to dirty drives and i just flew circles around them.

I knew engineering was strong, but this is wild. Honestly, the only thing that gave me trouble were high ranked snub craft, like the Vulture.

I'd definitely recommend a HOTAS for this game. Kb/m is dreadful, mostly because they just have really odd movement controls. Sure, it's technically more precise for PvP, but it might be less fun.

Controllers are a bit better, but you might need double or triple bound buttons. HOTAS is nice because you will have fewer double or triple bound buttons.
