It's not thunder or fury i have a problem with, it's firebrand lol. I can't do SvS on my PC because it just lags too much (even on quiet servers), but i try it on my dads brand new PC and it's fine, no lags = basically i need a new PC lol.

. As for the glitch/cheating thing for repairing, i crewed up with someone once and when i went on their ship they could sail and repair, i thought it was quite cool at first but then i believed it to be just unfair to other players, i rarely play SvS now because there are so many cheaters out there. I don't see why people can't just play the game for a game and not have to get so competative and cheat all the time.
I thought the repair glitch was just lucky for them though, that i can understand if it's accidental, but deliberate - nah ah!

Gain respect by getting a good crew and good ammo and beat them the proper way, then you can say you earned your score and bounty.
