Minmatar Crimson Fists

Hi, I am new to Minmatar ships, as my old char was pure Gallente. I rarely used the Brutix, as my drone skills were killer with a Myrm. I did however use a Brutix very effectively as I understood Gallente setups quite well. Anyway, I was wondering about fittings/abilities of the Cyclone (if any) as well as any tactical niche it may fill. Also, discussion of any other tier 1 battlecruiser is fine, I am just curious to know how other people use (or don't use) these less popular ships.
If any fittings are posted for any ship please know I am wondering about PvP only, I don't do any PvE except ratting occasionally.

If it's PvP you're after, get a Hurricane and you won't regret it. Cyclone is really better for PvE IMO.

I've considered:
5x 220mm AC, 2x AML, 1x Med Nos MWD, Web, Scram, 2x LSE 2x Gyro, 2x SPR/PDU Shield Extender rigs if you want to spend the isk.
I don't know how well this will work, since I haven't actually flown it yet.

You have a few options for the cyclone, believe me when I say its far from useless.
Speed Fit: The Cyclone and Hurricane are both the same mass and velocity, however the cyclone uses shields to tank, this means that you can have an effective tank with a basic tackle and use all the lows for speed mods. It needs rigs but thats life. It is probably better for speed fitting than a hurricane if you take the tank into account.
Heavy Tanking: This is a mean tanking ship, give it a go, you will soak up allot of damage with it and will work well in a medium ranged medium gang sized conflict. It won't compete with a drakes passive tank but then it uses an active module and will be able to warp around a bit more because its capacitor isn't gimped.
Cheap Gang Module ship: If you want to, this ship will be just fine as a gang support with a few gang modules fitted, give it a go, you won't be unhappy for the price.

It's a pretty fun solo ship with this speed fit, and maybe a little cheaper than hurricane. Tactic is too avoid web and nos by staying at 13-20 km depending on skills/falloff.
5 x 220/180mm t2 barrage 3 x HML
1 x LSB t2 1 x invul field 1 x med cap booster 1 x disrupt 1 x t2/named mwd
2x gyros 2x overdrives
4x hammerheads 2
good dps, weak tank, good speed.

I currently have a Cyclone fitted this way. Still tweaking it but can't decide what to remove to fit a capacitor booster, still with the new NOS nerf on the way I probably don't need it as my 3x nos will do just fine, ofcourse that means you can be webbed... Annoying that. Choose your targets wisely. Act like a pregnant vagabond on steroids.
High 5x 220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II 3x Medium Nosferatu II
Medium 1x 10MN MicroWarpdrive II 1x Stasis Webifier II (or Warp Distuptor) 1x Large Shield Booster II 1x Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II 1x Heat Dissipation Amplifier II
Low 2x Inertia Stabilizers II 2x Overdrive Injector System II
Rig 1x Projectile Ambit Extension I 1x Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I 1x Polycarbon Engine Housing I

I can't fly Minnie BCs, but I would recommend a similar setup to my Blasterox (I've actually flown that thing? Gasp!):
5x 220mm II's/425mm II's (mix based on PG) w/ EMP/Hail M 3x Medium Nos 1x 10MN MWD 1x 20km scram 1x X5 web 1x Large shield booster II 1x Med cap booster II 3x Gyrostabilizer II 1x DC II 8x Warrior II's in the bay
If you have the PG, you could fit a secondary armor resist tank in the lo's instead of the stabs.
