Edited by: Alta Morocha on 02/09/2009 04:32:59 Ok, I was considering training for a Heavy Dictor (Devoter) but my friends keep telling me that regular Interdictors (Sabre, Heretic) are currently more useful and that spending isk to buy a devoter is just a waste of time. Is that true? Is the role of the heavy dictor outperformed by regular dictors?
BTW: For 0.0, dual 1600mm plates? dual mar? 1600/mar? I don't really know if dual mar is ok for 0.0
Thanks for helping ^^

Edited by: Kashre on 02/09/2009 04:32:46 Dictors are fast and manuverable and cheap, but they die quick when they get caught.
Heavy Dictors are slow and lumbery with giant tanks, but they are better at interdicting with a bigger bubble, plus they have that sexy infinite strength warp scram for empire stuff. But you can probably buy 5 dictors for the price of a Hictor. (haven't priced them in a while).
Personally, I'd start with dictors just because they're fun and cost effective, but when you can afford it get into Hictors, especially when your PvP actually matters for some reason. +++ "Etiquette is for the Dojo. In war there is only victory or death." - Eiji Yoshikawa |

Fleets love both, but hictors are preferred to dictors, in my experience.

Thanks for your advice, and please, if you can, post some fits for 0.0 small/medium gang.

I'd use dual 1600 with small weapons, there's no point in fitting medium weapons cause the dps difference is mininmal and HICS are not suppoused to be damage dealers anyways.
About dictors vs hictors, tell your frieds their dictors will last 2 sec if get caught and their fleet will have no more bubble.

The peeps I fly with prefer light dictors for their cost effectiveness and ability to move around the field. However, we mainly work with fast moving HAC fleets where heavy dictors don't work well.
It all really depends on what your style is.

the only things HICs are good for is: tackling super caps in lowsec
and hot dropping titans

They also cant drop bubbles in lowsec, so who cares?
Both have their benefits, light dictors are better for fast-moving gangs while HICs have the ability to survive a DD (though that is kinda moot in the age of triple DDs).
Edit: for example, if your gang is taking on a superior force with hit-and-run tactics, the light dictor is the choice unless you want to lose a dictor for every few kills. Being able to drop bubble and leave is a must-have feature there.

Its one of those many times in EvE where situational combat comes into play. Although not exclusively true, if you are gate or station camping in 0.0, go for the HIC or if remaining mobile for roams/POS defence use the Dictor. The Hictor class of ships can take a real pounding but just be aware that if a fleet warps in on top of you, you better have your support buddies ready =D

gate camping there both are good both have there purpose you probally can stay alive longer in a sabre drop a bubble then cloak up bubble pops drop another then cloak back up in case the **** hits the fan you will live after all your job is to drop the bubble an thats it main thing is to know your role every body has one in a fleet plus the sabre can dish out plenty of dps if needed..an if your in a heavy your tank better be good an hope you win the battle because if you dont your going to be the last on the list but you will be on there... so fly which one you can afford to loose until you get the experience you need....

Edited by: Davina Braben on 03/09/2009 04:35:02 For 0.0 fleet use regular dictors are preferred. It's partly cost, partly dropping a bubble and warping away / cloaking and partly the tendancy of HICs to bubble their own fleet under heavy lag (module lag).
This might be out of date but HICs didn't used to be favoured at all.

Heavy dictors are useless. Use a sabre.

For sniping fleets hictors wont really work. They need to be on top of the enemy snipers, and since they cant really move fast there they will easily get killed, both by anti support and snipers themselves if needed. Now dictors also got the habbit to die alot, but their bubbles will stay much longer.

i use a phobos and find it great for empire. i dual MAR it with no plate, just resists. low buffer, but ive tanked a corp before. okay, yes, the corp was terrible. but i still did it. infini-point is great. in 0.0 or wh id prefer it. people can tell you it cant keep up with hacs, but i dont buy it. and i realize the phobos is supposed to be the worst, but its never failed me. even if i was in 0.0 id never want a dictor just because its so fragile.
