Well, you *could* 1v1 in PvP, but unless you know you can pwn some weaksauce nublet, it'll take forever. :p

You can 1 on 1, just focus on accomplishing something. Think of it as a test. Don't fire back and push for survivability or vice versa. Unfortunately folks out there will try to build a 1 on 1 supership that does everything. That is not attainable (yet) but it will get you in trouble in 5v5 or more. Because you are thinking 1v1, because you will fly your ship the way it was built, and how it was intended to fly.

All 1v1 should be stalemates. Unless the escort can't get away. In that case the escort pilot did not understand his role in the battle. Or the sci ship couldn't disable or mitigate his opponents offense. Or the cruiser couldn't tank that 1 opponent......

I'd say keep them both, Accurate and Elusive :p

Drop accurate, take both.

As far as I am concerned EVERY sci build needs Astrophysicist.
