Edited by: Malcanis on 21/02/2010 09:56:44 Guardians are like voodoo for remote rep battleship fleets.
Scimis are similarly awesome for Drake and fast shield-HAC gangs
Oneiros is OK for RR BS
Basilisks are basically good for repping POS shield and not much else. I guess maybe for PvE they're good.
Note: you'll need several, well-organised Guardians and good fleet broadcast discipline for them to work well. A scimi can work OK with just one, a Guardian cant really.
NB: if you're going to fly Logistics, train the skill to 5. It really, really makes a difference.

True words, id only add that basilisks, while outperformed by scimitars, are still a viable ship if properly fitted in drake and even nanogangs when in pairs. Theyre on par with common hacs in terms of speed and agility and in a gang of 10-15 ships 2 or 3 basilisks double your gangs target variety.
Also logistics 5 is very nice but its not a requirement to fly them, any gang or fleet will kiss your feet for you flying them and the more members of your corp are able to take turns in them, which is much easier with lvl4, the stronger your gangs get.
Basilisks are considerably slower, larger, and have much worse resists than Scimitars. Scimitars have way better survivability.
Yes, Logistics 5 isn't required to fly one, of course, but it dramatically increases the effectiveness of the ship. Compare peak and sustained rep DPS with Logi 4 vs Logi 5.
