This REALLY depends on the situation. One MD hit will not destroy any ship at 100 shields. All MD hits are not created equal - sometimes when I am hit, I lose more shields than others - it depends on how direct the hit is. I have hit ships up to 4 or 5 times with the MD before they fold - even the little ships. The big ship is definately harder to kill than the BP. The BP is harder to hit cause it is faster and smaller than the big Mag. The point is, there are too many variables to know exactly what is happening when in the middle of a dogfight. Keep your chin up, check your six and have fun is the main thing. If you want to meet online sometime I will do some tests with you and we can see. Also, there are a lot of folks who will take time to spar with you and help your progress online. I am a 50% shooter - not great, but better than 1 to10 - I'd be glad to give you some pointers as well.
