what is the best mission ship? the typhoon or the maelstrom?
(and PLEASE dont say raven. i know its the best ship for missions but i dont like it. i will only get one as a last resort) Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi". |

I don't fly either ship but from their bonuses the phoon would be better since it has a missile bonus, mael would tank better though so really it would depend on the mission.
Also: Nyx.

Edited by: Atius Tirawa on 11/06/2007 21:52:14 Minmatar are not good ratters/mission ships. So you are basically asking - "which of these crap ships for missions should I fly, X or Y. Please don't say <the obviously superior mission ship> because I don't like them."
To answer your question, between the Mael and the Temp - the Mael is a better ship IF you mission enough to justify the extra cost. 1200mm arti with a massive shield tank. . . But she is slow, does not if a salviger, does not fit nos, and cannot sustain its tank. . .
Sounds to me like the Minmatar FOTM is still going on, I hope it ends soon and goes to Gallente, they are such superior ships in pvp and I liked flying with Gallente wingmen rather then these 'speed freak FOTMers'.

probably the phoon, you can get a decent armor tank on it, and you also have 5x hvy drones and 5x med drones, can nos it up and have proj or torps
but with the mael you get an epic tank, and decent firepower
im a bit bias, clearly

I have not flown the 'phoon yet, but I can vouch for the Maelstrom's efficacy in missions.
==Hi Slots== Rack of 1400mm arty
==Mid Slots== XL SB II, amp, 4 active hardeners (rat specific obviously)
==Low Slots== 3xGyro II, DCU II, PDSII
Rigs and drones to your liking, I tend to stick with 5 T2 medium drones for frigs through BCs
This has done wonders for all my missions so far.

uber tank is better for missions than uber DPS
if you can afford a gist X-large booster get one and fit it to a maelstrom, throw in 3 CCC rigs and watch the booster go forever. you can then set your guns away and go make a cup of coffee
the typhoon I see as a great support ship, a decent salvaging ship and an excellent PvP ship

I use a maelstrom with BS lvl V, t2 XL booster and 3 CCC rigs. It kicks ass and kills fast enough with 1200mm.

I've flown both and a Maelstrom with 1200mm arties is markedly superior.
