If the rax get the drop on the ruppie, he can get into blaster range, and win.. if the ruppie has time to manouver, he wins, as the rax cant get close enough.
Simple as that.

Xziled, i said i am not big on PVP, its only a theory. Also, my setup is geared towards NPC so i would have no way to prevent you from warping out so no, find someone else to chase around.

lol...Xziled...the close range terror!!! :)
Come on man, i told you already, you would never catch me. I doubt I can kill you simply because I have no real PvP expirience although I am sure there are people who can kill Thorax in Rupture. I do have plenty of running expirience though and I had few blasteraxes chase me so back to argument, no way you can catch a Rupture. Thorax is simply slower heavier ship with very simular slot config. Of cause you can stick dual MWD on it, but then so can Rupture. Peace...
Siroc out.

Ruptures a great ship but lacks the drone space to really take on a rax. Once 8 heavy drones are launched the rupture won't last long, but without drones the rupture would win imho.

problem is heavy drones are slow and unless the rupture is fighting in close, he'll be able to outrun the drones, especially ogres. The blasterax would dump his drones and hit the mwd and watch them fall behind.

I don't see how that would work, a rupture can outrun drones yes but this would take the rupture away from the battle and if the rupture gets webbed I don't see it getting away somehow.

Well, the rupture can be effective with arty's from 30km+ to 50km(or so depending on ammo/skills/setup). This means the rupture pilot has a wide range of distance to be effective and by monitering the rax's distance/speed should be able to keep out of drone, weapon, and webber range(unless the rax is carrying 250s with thorium or other long range ammo, in which case the missles should carry the day for the rupture, but even thats not a given). Also the rupture can probably get out of the reach of the rax and pick off the drones if he so desires if they are sent after him. A rax pilot would have to be careful of that scenario. Being webbed means death of course, doubly so when fighting a blasterax.

This isnt a rax vs a rupture thread. At close range a rax would win, long range a rupture would win. (i wouldnt want to have a close range PVP cruiser, a megathron or apoc is not somthing u want to be up close to unless ur really fast)
Anyway a good NPC hunting setup is:
High
3 720mms
3 hvy missle launchers
Med
Medium shield boost
2 free slots, whatever u want
Low
2 co processor 1s
2 reactor control unit 1s
1 free slot, i use a tracking enhancer
it takes a little bit of energy skills to get these on but im sure u all have them.

I dont get it why people gimp their setups using missle WHILE long range sniping. Use them while close/mid range. The time those missles need reach the target, hit it and deliver the damage is so great, I end up firing missles at nothing.
What I use is following.
HI: 4x 720s
MED: MWD, Cap Recharger, Track PC
LOW: pdu, rcu, gyro II, 2x track enh II
Now I mean, screw them missles. 720s with so many tracking modules and good skills hit like crazy. RoF is low too (again good skills), so I end up hitting for 180 average pro gun pro shot with occasional wreck for - look my signature. My worst enemy is reloading, but full 720s******any npc cruiser out there in no time. I keep range of 40-50km, proton ammo for shields, fusion for armor. I eat the armor of a 110k rat in 2-3 voleys.
PvP is whole different story tho and not taken into account here. Oh, and 7 days before cruiser lvl 5, waiting for Rupture T2 or battlecruiser  Then I'm gonna specialize in medium artilery and meanwhile I'll sell my tempest.
Remember, its not the point to hit your target, the point is to hit it better than normal. My fights end up with 80% excellent hits or better and that makes the whole difference.

Xziled, learn to read, where exactly did you see me talking about me winning?
Nieda, how do you deal with NPC intercepters in your setup? I usialy keep missles mostly for them, although I do add few thunderbolts to the damage when I am breaking shielding of the enemies. You right though, I am also starting to wonder if slapping couple assults instead of heavies and getting extra targeting enhencer or damage mod could be better though.

Nieda, your heavy missile statement seems a bit off wrt/NPCs. I don't have any misses with my heavy missiles. Are you sure that 1 extra Gun is worth the removal of 3 heavy launchers?

If your not dyin' your not tryin'. |
