TBH i don't see you could take out even crows in that setup. If you orbit at anything less then 15km you will get webbed, if you do orbit at 15km you won't be able to hit them.
With dual light pulse II your optimal with radio crystals will be 15120m. While orbiting at 15km you orbit is really around 17km. At most you'll scare them away but realistically they will just get bored and warp out.
If you go up against a taranis under 10km your gone in 5 seconds. If you fight him at 15km the few amount of hits you do get will just make him warp out.
Something else you have to take into account is a the natural weakness a crusader has towards a taranis, primary defense. With a crusader you are depending on armor and as we all know blasters eat armor. A taranis's primary defense is also armor. Lasers are **** against armor. Antimatter does about 38% more damage against armor then multifrequency does.

Hate to break it to you Snook but they can get away even if you use a 20k disruptor.
Also, if you need to sustain a disruptor you are doing something very wrong.
BTW, a disruptor uses more cap then a MWD, sustaining mwd + disruptor is impossible even with 4 relays afaik. ________________________________________________________

Originally by: Selim Anyone think Crusaders need a little love?
Yes. That 50% less laser cap use needs to be turned into a 25% recharge rate bonus.
Taranis/Crow get 25% dmg and rof bonus, we should get 2 real bonus's instead of one good bonus and one POS bonus.
There are more issues but im not gonna waste more time typing about it as it never seems to do anything but bring out trolls

Yeah well Im out of ideas...
But I'll leave you with this.
2004.09.04 05:29:24combatYour Medium Anode Particle Stream I perfectly strikes Back in tha house! [S-44], wrecking for 277.3 damage.
Whats the point of that wrecking exactly? The numbers tell me it didn't come from a crusader...at least not one fit for anything besides getting a high wrecking  ________________________________________________________

Originally by: Selim Edited by: Selim on 22/09/2004 21:27:55 That is a nice idea... it should take the recharge bonus from the punisher. so it would be 50% capacitor recharge rate bonus, just like the Executioner, too.
Crusader is the only inty that needs to seriously specialize in order to take on different ships. Its got a serious CPU shortage for a ship that uses 4 CPU hogging guns... it needs more powergrid, too.
I love the sader, my favorite inty, but it just needs some boosts...
Malediction could do with replacing the laser cap usage bonus to something else, too. But that one doesnt need as much help as the Sader.
Taranis and crow do such great damage and are versatile, too. 
So I agree with you. Crusader could do with that bonus instead of the laser cap usage bonus, plus get a slight power boost.
Agree totally. The one thing that will always keep the crusader from being overpowered is its 2 midslots.
I'm ok with 2 mids, i just want a second bonus. It should either get the recharge bonus or a 25% rof like the taranis/crow. ________________________________________________________
