Edited by: fkingfurious on 03/09/2008 17:14:24 So I want to get me an Absolution for solo/small gang PvP.
To date the only experience I have of Command Ships in PvP is a nano-Sleipnir, which tbh didin't overly impress me. Been 4 months or so since I got mine blown up and I've never had the urge to replace it.
Now I can fly an Abso, so I've been playing about with em in EFt (sorry). With out going into specific fits it seems that although the DPS with Heavy Pulses is pretty good (600 ish) the tank isnt really all that great, its slow for a CS (and really slow once it has armo rigs on it) and the slot layout limits it to gang DPS support.
Is this a pretty fair evaluation of the ship or am I missing something very important?

Absolution is fun, but that's it. Sure, it's nice and can have really nice damage and really nice tank, but it's very expensive and not insurable. The Armageddon will outperform the Abso massively for a fraction of the cost. The Abaddon will outperform it massively for the same price.
If you have the spare cash, go for it. Otherwise, stick with something cheaper, insurable, and simply better.

It tanks pretty well and can do so for a long time, even facing up against some Battleships but it's lack of Medslots leaves much to be desired sadly...

abso will have much better manuverability and speed than a geddon. also med guns hit cruisers and frigs harder than bs guns. ---------------------- Real men use 8 heatsinks. |

At the moment, the Abso is waaaaaaay outperformed by a BS... after the web nerf... things MIGHT be different.

TBH I think at the moment in terms of capability and cost effectiveness, a BS will be better than a CS. A bs has more dps and tank, where as a cs has more manuevarability but also costs waay more.
I think this holds true for battlecruisers and hacs after the nano nerf, as in a BC will do the job of a hac just as well if not better and at a fraction of the price

All field cs need a juicy dps boost. Field CS should do almost or very close to BS damage. I mean hacs do BC damage, CS should do BS damage. The advantage of t2 hull. More agility and speed and less tank but around the same dps capability.
With that said, abso with cs5 is minimum to even consider owning in it. That last lvl adds like almost 100 dps. ----------------------------------------- [Video] Support Barrage |

Actually some of them do outdamage battleships. But tbh a Field Command ship's role is not to replace battleships. Imho they were intended to reign in support fleet battles. Do they perform well or are they even used for that purpose? Well that's a different question. But please don't ask for them to be a non-insurable, more agile battleship.

the golden bird of death. I loved mine. Went into a fight and lasted long enough for our gang to melt 4 enemy BS while I was the only loss on our side. Its a very capable ship with the right skills and implants. I couldnt get enough of mine. Miss her though will replace when I get a chance.
If you have the isk to burn go for it you will be amazed. If you dont just get a bs that has more HP and hits harder and is alot cheaper.
I for one love command ships nothing beats them.

Unless your going to use the warfare link bonuses on that Abso I'd rather fly a Harb tbqh. A fraction of the cost sporting nearly the same dps (possibly even moar if you have leet drone skills) with a crazy big buffer tank thats 100% insurable.
