I only have one main guy around my rank (currently 46, but seen him heaps in the 30s), DerpStevo. I was the same level as him at rank 22, continued roughly the same until rank 35 then he dropped off my bt because i started levelling slightly faster. ar rank 22 he small-medium ship builds, all 3 proteans, 4 dominion cannons, 3 cipherbots, father, 2 trinity core drives, and heaps of bought stuff. ridiculously high hull as well, i tried to hit him once and paid for it, first person i hit traps on. i had 1k+ hull at the time and dropped me like i was nothing.

If you reset and see DerpStevo on your Battle Tab, dont attack him, you will lose.

lol at steel

most of the ships i face, i can kill in 5-8 hits, very few where its around 10 or so, only time i hate is when my bt has the high end lvl, like 1.1k or higher...rarely ill see one or two where i dont even attack, but not enough to remember the names.

someone spent 700 energy to badge me on the weekend ... while i'm glad he didn't use debuff artis, i have to say that i personally would have given up long before that ...

I know of at least one who did.

1st- black pearl (not the best target on BT)

I don't avoid hitting anyone other than him really....i'll take shots at anyone I feel like since no one around my rank is THAT hard to disable. (I been quite for sometime now since I changed to hacker for medal and missing konq attack.) I have not really attacked many of the famous ships around my rank for sometime though really. so can't judge on the fact they were not bad to disable a month or two back....

+ I never seem to have got attacked by any of the people you lot listed other than a bare few for retal

Stolen planet has a nice ship- but don't avoid it lol- i think i have a fair percentage of his disables (he has a bigger percentage of mine)

Most ssb's are too low level to appear on my bt- but they are the biggest energy sinks. Mid level builds done well almost as bad- although not many done that well
