Last sunday I got in a lobby with 0 matches pilot and his crew as an ally, against two more-or-less low level players (10? 15?).
My allied captain had no idea what he was doing, what should he do, where is his "stupid ally", what color is his team, and not even whether he won or not at the end, roaming the Duel At Dawn the whole match, somehow luckily avoiding all engagements.
Meanwhile, his "stupid ally" (me and my KNTG Paragnomen) has battled in constant 2v1 situations - wrecking enemy ships down brutally (because blenderfish + chute vent ramms on Duel), ending the match with a result of 5-0 singlehandedly. Oh - my crew. 2 AI engies and FishMyToes as a gunner - rare thing, gunner on blenderfish not running because "OH-MY-GOD-ENGINES-ARE-DAMAMGED". (All hail the Matchmaker).
Edit: To explain my bragging. Screw my levels - I'm a bad captain. When I'm lucky I can escape from 2v1, usually damaged. This was the first time I had the upper hand in 2v1 situation.
