Rone Corbusier Gallente The Intaki Ladies Deep Space Astrogation Auxiliary	Posted - 2010.09.25 16:22:00 - [1] I was thinking of using something like this because my active shield skills are really bad at the moment. Obviously the HG crystal, blue pill and faction xl-shield booster version of this ship can do wonderful things but on a budget I was toying with a passive fit. This is for high and low sec solo and not necessarily expecting to survive. Thoughts. 1. A hurricane is probably better in this configuration but this has the benefit of looking less intimidating. The price difference isn't really significant. 2. Damage rig could be an anti-thermal rig and an LSE could be swapped for an invuln which overheated gives a better tank for a limited duration. 3. Dual neuts and an AML instead of single neut and heavies? At least works vs frigs in range but I don't like the idea so much. 4. Losing the DC for another Gyro (and probably putting in the anti-therm rig.

Cipher Jones Minmatar	Posted - 2010.09.25 16:25:00 - [2] DO NOT PASSIVE TANK A CYCLONE When you say "fanboi" try to picture a fat man doing burlesque with 2 big ass fans that say CCP on one and HTFU on the other. Because that dude is me.
Static Scream	Posted - 2010.09.25 17:53:00 - [3] I like it. it will probably die to any tier 2 battlecruiser, but since your in a cyclone maybe a lot of cruisers will be willing to engage. I would toy with and invuln field in the mid slot, and use the gain in powergrid to switch the acr rig to core defense field extender rig, overall ehp might be a winner especially as you mentioned with overload. Btw passive tank is a tank that uses shield recharge rate and resists to mitigate incoming damage. What your fit is, and what you are asking for is a buffer tank.
Psiri	Posted - 2010.09.25 17:56:00 - [4] Buffer =/= Passive

But again wtf has that to do with its general usefulness? Are fights decided by how much 1 vs 1 tank a ship has now as last time I checked even an uber tanked Drake dies horribly to a couple of ships. So again why would you undock in a Cyclone at all unless you are epic hg crystal blue pill bait? ZOMG!!!

Its not nearly as hard as you're making it out to be: Benefits to using a Hurricane: The option of fitting TEs or Nanos Benefits to using a Cyclone: The option of fitting more tackle (a web) or more tank (second LSE/Invuln) Whether you want the second invuln or the web to me depends on whether or not you have a scim in gang. -Liang Ed: And its worth noting that if you fit the web, the option of having fit TEs or Nanos suddenly becomes meaningless.
