If you're new to dogfighting in Star Citizen—or you’ve been flying for a while but never really learned it—this is where you start.

This is Part 1 of a full progression series designed to take you from beginner pilot to high-level PvP dogfighter, step by step, without wasting your time.

In this episode, we focus on the foundation every top pilot builds first: control, movement, and getting comfortable with your inputs.

You’ll learn:

How to actually control your ship in 6-DOF space

The orbit drill (max rate) and why it matters

The circle strafe drill for evading fire while applying pressure

How to use Vanduul Swarm & Pirate Swarm the right way

Why racing and freestyle movement directly translate to combat

The fastest way to improve using deliberate practice and feedback

This is the same progression used by experienced PvP pilots, just broken down so you can actually follow it.
