Troll is trolling.

There are many, many threads about the Valk on the suggestions forum. Read some of them.

"prom tough but valk out run so no win!"

Running away is not winning. Making your enemy flee before you can be considered winning, but successfully running away cannot. So yeah, proms win.

As for me fighting a Valk using a Corvult, I can win fairly consistently if I actually care (i.e. if I don't just charge straight at them in my typical self-destructive fashion, eating every flare). The Corvult is a superior ship in a straight-up fight, though only by a very slim margin.

that a lie. thats why you through in ultimatum like 'if i care.' quit lyin to self. anyone can be good if they lie to self and say they are. the only thing close to valk may be ibg or orion rev . they hard to hit but they have so low armor so valk win!

I recommend DE-A be sterilized and destroyed to preserve the integrity of the gene pool. I further suggest we take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

"that a lie. thats why you through in ultimatum like 'if i care.' quit lyin to self. anyone can be good if they lie to self and say they are."

"Ultimatum" is not the correct term. You probably meant "stipulation".

Anyway, not a lie. There are two different ways to dodge flares. One is boring and effective. The other is exciting and highly dangerous. I usually use the latter, because games like VO are supposed to be fun and exciting, not boring. I could use the other and be a lot more effective.

Don't feed the troll, kids.
Jul 12, 2013 Pizzasgood link
Ships have limited energy generation. That means that as you equip additional energy weapons, you get diminishing returns on how much they actually help. You have to actually know what you're doing to make effective use of three energy weapons (the key is thinking in terms of burst damage rather than DPS like most ninnies). Yes, it can still give them an edge, but the Corvult's thinner profile gives it a much better edge, and the higher strafe speed puts it over the edge. Sure, the Valk has more armor. It needs it, because it's a fucking potato. You're better off not getting hit at all and having less armor -- and not getting hit is the Corvult's specialty (nimble + thin = hammer-time).

I won't deny that the Valk is a better general purpose ship than the Corvult, but if you think it is better in a 1v1 fight, you're on crack.
Jul 12, 2013 DE-A link
valk is way better 1v1 you no this. i see valks always win agains vults. its just simple. The only time you kill valk is in furball when valk not paying attention and you come in gauss 3 that it. only chance. mod phaserlight now calling me troll. wow just wow go make videos or something useful or tell ryan to quit telling me to kill meself

I'm not calling you a troll, only offering a reminder that if a troller were present it would be foolhardy to attempt to feed him/her.
Jul 12, 2013 Pizzasgood link
DE-A, his troll comment could just have easily been referring to ryan, for example. But it sounds like somebody has a guilty conscious.

Anyway, the next time you see somebody consistently winning in a Valk vs. a Corvult, get them to swap ships for a while and see what happens. Most likely they were winning because they were simply a better pilot, not because of the ship. Oh, and make sure it's an energy-Valk, since you apparently don't think flares are relevant.
