Yeah, it's probably best to skip the Legion. For its cost, it's simply an inferior ship. The dual plate bait/buffer setup is the only remotely interesting thing it can do, and that alone does not justify its price.
The nos/neut subsystem is a joke. The drone sub is toothless and impotent, yet remains the only way for the Legion to field drones. With lasers, it barely scrapes ahead of a Zealot in DPS, dies to the first interceptor or neut ship it runs across, and lags behind dirt cheap battlecruisers (which can also be double-plated.)

I weep for the state of this vessel.
Weep.

Take a closer look at the subsystem - sensor strength 13. If something with ECM so much as looks at that Legion, it won't be contributing much to the fleet short of an expensive damage sponge.
In my opinion the drone electronics sub and neut offensive sub should be rolled into one offensive module, allowing the Legion to use a few turrets, a few drones and a few neuts. Following this, the now missing neut electronics module should be replaced with something that has bonuses toward tracking disruptors. Finally, as it's pretty pathetic, the laser offensive should get +1 turret, and the missile offensive +1 launcher.
This, and this alone will allow Legion to compete. You could get either a respectable gunboat/missile ship with tracking disruptors, or a nice drone/neut/light dps setup. Right now it's just poop compared to the awesome bonuses that Tengu and Proteus and Loki get.

Wow, he's right. I just set up a Drake with about 2/3 of the Legion's EHP, but 300 passive shield regen, identical DPS and velocity.
Jesus that's pathetic. It even has a drone bay over the Legion.

 Originally by: Jin Entres
Drake has twice the sig, is 30% slower, ~25% less agile, takes twice as long to lock anything and has no EW (sacrilegion can fit 2 TD).
It's only pathetic if you take a very narrow view of DPS and EHP. But since when are cruisers (even T3) supposed to be the best damage dealers?
Now factor the cost of the two ships in.
Sure, the Drake has a few downsides - but one ship costs 30 million, and the other costs half a billion. Is the price justified for those tiny slivers of an edge in combat performance, coupled with painting a big "SHOOT ME I'M EXPENSIVE" sign on your back?

Of course there's hope. My incessant whining is the only reason the Zealot got its fifth turret.

The above ship will die almost instantly to any ship with a neutralizer.
