I'm not a new player. I do fine against anyone else. If you look at the leaderboard, you'll notice one player with way more kills as everyone else. This is the person that Instakills me and I assume other folks, too. There is no strategy against this other than run from the player and hide in the healing circle. I've fought against superior players or ship types, but this is on a whole other level of dominance. If you haven't run into it, you don't know. Yes, I could play other ships. If the game showed opponent names during match setup, I'd choose another ship.
I'm not complaining about Craw in general. I'm just tired of a particular player who repeatedly appears on my screen and then I'm dead. Doesn't seem balanced for someone to effortlessly be able to do that. Try being on the receiving end of a griefer and see how you feel about it.
The player with the highest kills by far (over 10k) is roc69x. He plays Craw a lot and seems to be able to regularly and effortlessly kill me in under 2 seconds. Maybe it's my crappy computer or laggy network, but it seems like rather excessive damage. Hey, kudos to this player who probably bought a ton of damage tech and for opening up those slots. Newer players really have no chance, since there's no way to run from Craw and a griefer can continually hunt you if you stray two inches from the healing circle. Not much fun when Craw appears onscreen and a second later you're dead.
