This is an actual clip from the chat log between me and a relatively new player on ICC as we battled. I had carriers with me and he was being pounded by lots of fighters and P cannons. After a bit, he comes to a stop behind a planet to shield himself. there was another planet to his side providing a perfect position for splash damage of QSTs and being in a battle station at the moment, I took advantage on the situation.
See how he is so sure he has found such a clever safe place to hide only seconds before impact.  New Guy.... Meet QST.

Well I suppose it does prove that but I must give it to the bloke he didn't give up right up until the end (BOOM)
I have seen at least 2 new players in the last 2 days that had so much heart it made me feel really sorry for them when I saw them both being killed over and over, and both times they were taking on Command Dreads in tiny little scout ships.

niice.

who needs a planet to splash off of?  Go in f2, pick a spot behind the planet where he/she is, but just a bit off because you dont want to hit the planet... (Just so your core weapon swoops close by it, like your dropping infantry) then in the nav map, zoom all the way in at the area in which you want it to explode at, then wait till you see a little shinny moving thing race by the navmap, then when its close to the target (Closest possible), quickly press F2 and press shift + 1. Kaboom.

since you know the travel speed of a qst, you can easily calculate the time for detonation...

I know all that, but the servers were a bit laggy on that day and a planet impact provided the best method of ensuring the blast happened in the proper location.

Always take the shot you KNOW will work rather than the one you THINK will. For all he knew a flock of dreads was about to jump on him & he'd have to make a quick egress - wouldn't have had much time to focus on when to manually det the torp then would he?
