Edited by: Jack Amarr on 25/03/2005 14:05:29 your not going to get a good cruiser for under 3 mill, i'd wait till you have 4 or 5 mill before you buy a cruiser, not worth it otherwise... -------------------------- Amarr but not proud of it!

Caracal for NPCing, but if you want to go mining the Osprey is THE best mining cruiser (Rupture sucks, cause it looks funny(er)... >_>) and the Osprey is only 3mil (or so). ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun! |

The omen is pretty effective and cheap, only tested it against blood raiders though.

I'd recommend waiting until you can afford a decent cruiser, insurance, and the modules to kit it out with.
Investing all your money into a single ship is ill-advised.
If ECM is an act of aggression, why am I not on kill mails?

Agreed.
If you can't insure it - don't fly it. If you can't fly it don't buy it... etc... wait a little longer and you'll have something that you can hang onto. -- Thread Killer

Edited by: ExChange on 25/03/2005 16:22:41 must be noted that you cant really tank a caracal very good...
good damage but crappy tank...
think the celestic seems to be good... thinking about getting one...
think its kinda ballanced... 2 heavies, 3 250s and 8 medium drones is kinda nice 8)

Well a caracal can be resonably tanked. But its main "tank" is speed.
5 heavies 1 med shield booster, 1 mwd, 1 med shield extander, 1 med cap battery 1 bcu 1 cpu
This has worked for me on cruisers and lvl 3 missions. Speed is the key. For frigs, its enormous fun to target 5 frigs and shoot them all with one missile =) Seriously Have I Not Said How I Can Assist Some One You Are Killing Online? |

Blackbird, nice slot layout and not too expensive and only needs cruiser lvl2.

Yep for little cash... BlackBirds are pretty nice....
Caracals are easy to Tank.... Medium Shield Booster... Cap Booster, Loaded with 100's or 150's... MWD so you can run the other way... Lob missiles... Everything Dies

if you are woried about money, i would suggest Omen, Vexor, Caracal, Stabber. (these are the 2nd 'best' cruisers per race. They are supposed to be cheaper specialty type ships as apposed to the most expensive cruiser of each race which should be the best 'combat' ship)
all these can be found approb 4.2million or thereabouts and can all be setup to do decent damage and tank decently.
If you like using drones to tear the enemy up while you just soak damage and use smaller guns to poke your enemies, use a vexor. If you want to fly in at near frigate speeds and jack enemies up quickly (without much defensive capability) the stabber is your ship. If you want a nice npc hunter or frigate killer, the Caracal is for you. If you want to do good damage and decent tanking, then a Omen is right for you.
All of these ships have good and bad things about them. Look at their stats and skills, and pick one that is right for you.
All the Cruisers under these 4 are inferior (*all around*) to these or the highest end cruiser. The only ones I would suggest picking up (if you find a good price) are.
Bellicose: It's a good missile ship of the minmater, and it's range bonus' make it decent with 650mm howies to suppliment the missile bombardment. It's a decent defensive ship
Blackbird: Cheap and effective as a EW ship. It does not have much offensive power at all, but the mid slots can make it a good shield tanker.
Celestis: I like this ship as it's a decent platform for a mix of heavy launchers and dual150mm rails (with thorium or so ammo) stay 20km out and it's pretty fun. not much of a damage taker though.
Arbitrator: Can hold alot of medium drones. Again like the Vexor, if drones aren't for you, don't use. It also has a pretty good capacitor for tanking, but the grid is horrendous. you will most likely end up using small size weapons after fitting armor repairers.

I dont think any cruiser can be bought or outfitted with 3 mil... You're better off with a destroyer for now. It costs peanuts and you actually could outfit it properly instead of putting all standard tech 1 and basic's gear onto it and watching it die in the first fight with another cruiser, let alone a pirate.
Seeing as you are amarr (i think) you'd do very good with a...well they all kinda cost more than 4 mil... Seriously, get a dessy...
