This video teaches viewers how to effectively use the Personal Inventory Page (PIP) in combat by neutralizing the PIP when the player’s ship and target ship are not moving or moving in the same direction. The speaker demonstrates how to neutralize the PIP using the bottom shift thrusters and introduces the concept of pip wiggling to make it harder for opponents to hit, emphasizing the importance of understanding relative distance, speed, and separation in combat evasion.
In this video, the speaker teaches viewers how to use the Personal Inventory Page (PIP) effectively to improve combat skills. They explain that when both the player’s ship and the target ship are not moving or moving in the same direction, the PIP will be directly on the target ship. This is called a neutralized PIP, which makes it easier to hit the target, but also easier to get hit. They mention that this method works for both lead and lag pips, but they function slightly differently.
To neutralize the PIP, the speaker suggests using the bottom shift thrusters as they provide the most power. They demonstrate how to neutralize the PIP by strafing up in the opposite direction of the target’s movement. The speaker also introduces the concept of pip wiggling, which involves moving the PIP erratically around the target ship to make it harder for the opponent to hit.
The video includes combat footage to illustrate how to successfully neutralize and expand the PIP. The speaker mentions that they focus on neutralizing the PIP when the opponent has a firing acquisition, and they try to expand the PIP or cross over it when they feel safe from being hit. They also mention that the distance, speed, and separation between the player’s ship and the target are crucial factors in evading attacks.
The speaker encourages viewers to check the description box for additional updates and resources related to the video, including tutorials ordered in a way that aids understanding. In conclusion, they emphasize that understanding relative distance, speed, and separation is key to effective evasion in combat.
