Kaz Yobnoc	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:07:00 - [1] Is the Hawk worth training up for? I use a Drake for missions and exploration sites. I know the resists are high but is the loss of a mid slot, launcher and some shield worth it? How is it better?
Carniflex Caldari Fallout Research Fallout Project	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:14:00 - [2] Originally by: Kaz Yobnoc Is the Hawk worth training up for? Hawk is caldary AF. Nothing stellar. You are ofc talking about nighthawk and that is worth it if you dont want to go battleship route (and you propably dont want if it's for wormholes).
Lisa Starblazer	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:15:00 - [3] Nighthawks have better tank and do more dps than a drake. They have a 5% bonus to ROF and Damage per launcher

Cpt Cosmic	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:25:00 - [5] NH is useless for pvp as it is impossible to fit properly
Wet Ferret	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:35:00 - [6] NH : "whoa" tank. Drake : Can actually fit an AB / MWD and does higher volley damage, I'll stick with it thx. But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.
Kaz Yobnoc	Posted - 2009.03.27 11:39:00 - [7] I'm talking PvE here. If I want to PvP it won't be in either of these ships.

They have a 5% bonus to ROF and Damage per launcher Yeah, I know about its bonuses but wasn't sure if they made up for the loss of a launcher. Yep, it does superior damage to the Drake and against fast targets gets an extra bonus so you can chew through frigates much faster. The NH is a superior ship in almost every way. Just out of curiosity are you active or passive tanking your drake?

Just out of curiosity are you active or passive tanking your drake? Passive but have considered going active on a NH. I'm lazy and don't want to micro manage cap if I don't have to. Don't know if the loss of an additional mid for codebreaker/analyzer would be doable in an active setup.
Kaz Yobnoc	Posted - 2009.03.27 12:02:00 - [10] Active [High] HML II x6 Drone link aug or probe launcher [Mid] Pithi B-type small booster x2 CN Boost Amp Invuld II (replace for codebreaker/analyzer) Photon Scat II [Low] CN BCS x4 Damage control II [Rigs] CCC x2 This is a little expensive to be taking into a wormhole. I won't post the passive set up. Just standard passive but much cheaper. Thinking about using a Cerb for WH and leaving NH for Missions but would like to have one ship to do it all.

Slayed Caldari Debitum Naturae Dies Irae.	Posted - 2009.03.27 14:03:00 - [11] the Nighthawk is not impossible to fit at all end of that discussion

Originally by: Tuxford a new retribution bonus +1 med slot per level

That is the exact setup I would use, using Fury missiles. I'm using pretty much the same thing on my Drake now. Thx for the info all. I will miss my Drake.
J Valkor Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2009.03.27 14:18:00 - [14] For PVE there is no reason to use a drake over a NH. 25% ROF is actually 33% more damage. With a T2 fit and Caldari faction missiles 500 DPS is perfectly possible without drones and with 3% implants.

I know the resists are high but is the loss of a mid slot, launcher and some shield worth it? How is it better? The Nighthawk has better DPS and better tank than a Drake. My active NH has around 600 DPS gank (with hobgoblins) and also 600 DPS tank (dual Pithi B setup), so it is more than enough for any level 4 mission.

Perry Amarr The X-Trading Company RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2009.03.27 14:32:00 - [17] Considering the fact that wormholes lead to 0.0 without local, i would not risk a nighthawk with faction fitting. The possible profit is too small if you get ganked even only once per month.
Cade Morrigan Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.27 16:10:00 - [18] Do both: NH for L4 missions, leave her in hisec. Drake for WH exploration.
