You guys are nuts. The CN Scorp is by far the best ship in the bunch. I can't get over how awesome it is. I'm only posting at all because I'm terrified y'all will get it changed.
It's everything you could possible want from a small gang bs. 8 mids! A resist bonus! A torp RoF bonus?!! 2 utility highs, the perfect number of lows for a shield gank boat and a built in 25% ecm resistance bonus AND the highest base sensor strength out there. Holy cow. Want, want badly. And I see 'tank' as a massive role in my everyday pvp. I'm just not a part of the blob boredom that most of you guys are arguing about.
I saw Gypsio complaining about how it doesn't do anything that the raven, golem or CNR doesn't do already and do better. Yes it does.
Golem can't handle ecm at all, and by the very fact it's a marauder means everyone uses ecm vs it. Plus golem fitting is crap (pg especially) and trying to actually use 3x utility highs with its fitting is a bad joke.
Raven has great dps at the cost of forgetting a tank or the tackle to actually get your full dps. It might be better in a larger gang, but I never fly in gangs large enough to see it. It can't active tank for squat and its passive buffers are very heavily outdone by the slaved armor variants.
CNR is a higher dps raven with even less fitting for tank and even better stats for mediocre buffer tanks with a huge price tag and giant bullseye.
CN Scorp is perfect. Finally a torp boat with the mids and fitting to actually fit a tank that doesn't fail and still get enough tackle on there. 2 high utility for either extra gun gank, remote shield [yes it DOES fit], or whatever else you can dream up.
It's basically a giant crystal AC mael or blaster rokh. But with more tank, better tackle, utility highs and dmg color of your choice.
This thing is epic!

Oh sure. Now please go ahead and give us a viable t2 fit (worthy of a 1 bil ship, in comparision to the new Domi or Geddon) using your EFT magic.
Go ahead and fit t2 torps (only 5 so dps sucks, lame range btw, no expl velocity bonus even), your 2 hvy neuts, mwd, and painters (you need these now of course) tank, and your 1 "gank mod" in the lows (because you will be forced to use numerous fitting mods) and tell me how that stacks up to the new Geddon or Domi.
Now enjoy your typical miniscule Cald drone bay, idiotic grid/fitting, slowness, big sig, crap dps and lame range..... BUT HEY YOU CAN TANK!!111
You think I'm an alt? You must not watch pvp videos. Give me a few months after this patch goes live and I'll give you a video of using this. I'm already buying mods for it.
t2 fitting a faction battleship is pretty dumb. There's a lot of affordable faction out there that makes this loads better.
Fit depends too much on what you're trying to do. I'm looking to use it in a 3 man BS gang and have fits for that. I have no idea what you're trying to do (besides whine), so I won't begin to try to guess how you'd need it fit.
Hint: If you're in some blob gang where lock time and instant dmg determines who rates highest on the killmail this ship isn't going to be for you. But just because it doesn't fit your style of pvp (imo boring) that doesn't mean it isn't EPIC for someone else's (MINE!!). Break out of your box.

Oh surprise. It doesn't beat the CNR at dmg dealing.
Try an active tank on it.
Also, 133k EHP is chump change for HP. That's a dead CNR and quick.

Anyone know if the CN Scorp got increased fitting to go along with its increased launcher?

I certainly hope so. It was too tight before! I really want enough PG on this thing to fit an active tank.
PG doesn't seem too bad to me. CPU is a bit tight for 6 launchers though =/. But an increase to both would allow a bit more flexibility and maybe the ability to actually use that utility high.
