Whenever I have someone rude, I just ignore them. If you respond to their baiting, they won.
If it's just from the gameplay, like getting killed by the same guy for the seventh time, remember It's a game. I lost count of the number of times my escort dessie was obliterated by assault ships
And on that toilet papered house. That must of taken ages to clean up

unfortunately there's those that dont take the consideration off others that are new to the game. some ppl have played so long that they think that there the top dog. not all of us are inconsiderit. o ya and it's hard to take ppl serious with the red shirt they allways die lol. Star Trek if he's wearing red he's dead.

Go back to DS before 1.67

yes! go back the the basix Pong layout, im the top white beam, i beat u all!
i think if ppl stop making new accounts, act new, then annoy the h*** out of other ppl, the true newbie gets more serious answers to its questions.

to your sig redshirt;
you have specialized armor that can totaly negate each factions advantage.
Couple this with having the most armor HP in the game, and +48% def enhancements, and each of your ships is as effectivly good as two of another factions ships of the same class
You also have the hardest hitting ship in the game (alpha damage) the EAD.
You have a small ship killer, the assauld destroyer. (just need a couple of makarrs ship boosters, or engine tuners)
You also have the best stations in the game. With the way repairs work on armor, its very easy to tank with them. Harpex missiles insure that even nimble ICC cruisers will fall befor you.
So, best defense
best Offence (alpha)
best small ship hunter
best stations
and no, im not complaining. I can make lists like this for every faction. Im just saying im sick of hearing UGTO cry about having nothing.
Every faction has advantages. Learn to love them, learn to counter them. Else we would all be the same ship with different paint...

i think the gunboat works better as a ship killer because of its range capabilities and its wep dont drain its energy as bad so you can go about 17gu/s in stead of around 14 in the assault dessie
but yes our diffrent armors do help us with the other factions seperatly the only prob with that is if its a 4 way battle with mi included luthys are generally still safe when they're cloaked. then icc only has to put all shields to one side then run all while UGTO is stuck with the mi in escapors dictor trap of doom dodging as best they can while only having 19% hull and no way of reducing incoming damage or ability to be targeted but then again its all about numbers.
and also most of the players iv seen my first week cant use the higher up ships anyway i guess were in a recruitmemt cycle with the ugto but really mostly noobs on at any given time where as luthys are mostly vets
but im not argueing just stating an opinion and a few observations =)

unless you play the fractions do not make statements about them please.
Anyway back on topic. Having some tutorial would do wonders for New players.
