The scale of the advantages of faster TRUE fighters, is not to be underestimated when trying to escape from one in any slow ship. Similarly in terms of planning-for hunting others in PvP ''(instead of only considering it in terms of defending yourself)'' when hunting slower ships, the opposite applies - yes, only the fastest will have a chance at evasion away from you, but you could end up OVER-engineering only-for speed, to be able to try to make sure no one will be able to escape you, but then fail, to have reliable weapons by having chosen only light types, by the time you catch up to them! | The scale of the advantages of faster TRUE fighters, is not to be underestimated when trying to escape from one in any slow ship.

Elite dangerous does punish not-noticing when technical details will combine against you if you plan poorly - exact numbers aren't always necessary to plan with, but principles & reasons, are - weapons weight and other modifications that reduce weight, mean-little for 'tanks', but it does in competitively designed light fighters. In other words, if you want to be the Ace of Aces '''by-speed''', you better be an expert at whatever light weapons you include in your build - by comparison, more of a balance usually works, most of the time. There is little point in trying to be the best at any one thing in that sense - Elite Dangerous is not the Olympics. | Elite dangerous does punish not-noticing when technical details will combine against you if you plan poorly - exact numbers aren't always necessary to plan with, but '''principles & reasons''', are - weapons weight and other modifications that reduce weight, mean-little for 'tanks', but it does in competitively designed light fighters.
