Edited by: Diesel47 on 30/12/2010 06:18:54 Similar to how the Drake is the most OP BC....
What would the most overpowered (Or a very powerful) cruiser be? Faction/pirate cruisers are allowed. No T2 however.
I was thinking the phantasm was pretty nice, and cheap for a faction ship...
Thoughts?

for T1 I'd say Rupture.
but I'm against nerfing it. Rather, I want everything else buffed, because most of the alternatives have glaring weaknesses.
Moa seems like a solid ship. Excellent tank. Decent DPS. then you notice it's slow as all ****. If it was a tad lighter, or had a higher base speed even, then maybe it wouldn't be a bad PvP cruiser. But it simply doesn't seem that fast.

Moa is about the worst cruiser there is as far as I can tell. If hybrids get a small buff, and Moas get a bigger cargohold, it might be a decent ship. But as it is, it's a Thorax without a microwarp drive bonus. And Thoraxes as many of you may be aware, have such a tight fit that they're only good as a fast ganker.
I tried putting autocannons on my mission thorax and it became much more powerful, but my caracal still roflstomped it.

Then there's the Gila, which is projected to have 100-200 more DPS than any Cynabal fit I've ever pulled together on EFT, has maybe three or four times the EHP, and can still almost move as fast if it's nano-fit (My Gila actually hits 2.5km/s; I think the best I've done with a Cynabal has been... 2.7-3km/s? Around there.)

Subjective, depends on environment:
Rupture for T1. Cynabal for faction (null+low), just cannot be caught unless it wants to and packs a wallop. Vigilant for faction, low-sec scourge, BS damage in a cruiser hull is scary as hell.
PS: Drake is OP per se. It gets monstrous in flocks, but I'd rather meet a Drake than a Cane when solo.

Solo: Rupture or Vexor
Gangs: Arbitrator or Rupture. No cruiser can cause as much pain an agony in an eve player as the arbitrator who just owned your astarte. EVE is like the "Fisherman's Friend" of MMOs. If it's too hard, you are too weak. |

Edited by: James Lyrus on 30/12/2010 11:25:37 Cynabal, no doubt. It's fast and agile. REALLY agile, and packs a punch. Which means it's superb in all the ways a Dramiel is - it can pick and choose it's fights, but doesn't have to much, because it can win a lot of them. Gila doesn't even come close - it's 'natural' speed is 1km/sec slower on MWD, and the Cynabal is 3.6s into warp, to the Gila's 6.2.
Add to that, a 50m3 dronebay, and a rack of falloff bonussed autocannons, along with 25% rof, 50% damage bonussed autocannons (so giving you 8 effective turrets) and still having ample fitting space for ... well, pretty much whatever. Neuts, pair of LSEs... you name it.
Of the T1 cruisers, much harder to say. there's some that are 'overpowered' but only in the sense that there's a lot of rubbish, and a few that are OK.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the cruiser lineup is probably the most balenced ship class in the game. The pirate faction versions of them are on par with T2 HAC's or just slightly better which is what you would expect. Tweak Hybrids and you are fine. It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

As long as you are not taking the majority of the t1 lineup of cruisers along then that limb should hold up fairly well.

You have to look at the line up beyond who would win in a 1v1. The cruiser line up includes EWAR ships, Logi/Indy ships, and Combat ships. Would a Rupture own an OSprey? Sure would, but can it outmine the Osprey? It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

Ok now how about the omen, maller, augoror, moa, celestis, exequror, scythe, bellicose and to a slightly lesser extent the stabber and thorax. None of those ships are worth undocking for any reason over other ships past some very very niche stuff that isn't even in their normal roles.
So that leaves us with the arbi, ruppy, caracal, blackbird and vexor for useful pvp. Yeah thats a totally balanced t1 cruiser lineup ayup yup yup.

Omen - Glass cannon GPS like a Thorax Maller - Hell of a tank/bait ship Augoror - Logisitcs Ship, feed energy Moa - Hybrid Platform with good range Celestis - EWAR ship, would be better served to have scram bonus instead of Damps. Exequror - Remote Armore Rep/Indy cargo ship Scythe - Mining/Logi Bellicose - EWAR ship, try it in a group of Torp spewing ships.
For T1 cheap fleets a lot of the above ships would be useful for their roles. Some suffer because of poor mechanics, namely the Celestis, but all in all T1 cruisers across the board have a role to play. It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

Nice theory crafting you have there. Now lets add a touch of reality to your list.
Omen - Dies first just like the thorax because the fc knows if its fit for dps it will instapop from the alpha and if its tanked it still pretty much instapops. Maller - Bait ship? Yeah thats a role alright. Please file this use under extreme niche and give the poor thing some hams. Augoror - Try to fit it out for cap transfer and actually run them for any usable amount of time whilst staying alive long enough to make a difference. Moa - Same as the rax. Slow as christmas so it rarely ever gets in range to apply that dps. Celestis - LOL damps.. Exequror - Same as the augoror. Useless at its logi role and a few minutes of training will get you an indy that will outperform it by several orders of magnitude. Scythe - Osprey or any turret bc kills it as a miner due to crappy fittings. Also bonus to tracking links? LOL.. Bellicose - LOL painters..
Try again.

Same thing with Rupture/Arbi/Vexor. They are better, but not OP.

No theory crafting, I fly them all on my PvE and PvP characters. Try doing a Cheap Fleet Challenge one day using all the above ships with some Ruppies and Vexors and what not mixed in. As with all things eve a good ship cannot make up for a bad pilot, but a good pilot can get the most out of his ship.

Well nothing stopping you after all from flying anything you want regardless if its actually the right ship for the job.

And with the ships listed even a good pilot can't overcome the fact they stink, but a bad pilot might think he can.

Stabber is a great ship if you want to get soloed by a frigate in your cruiser.
As far as ranged dps in a kiting setup goes, the bellicose does that better.

Edited by: Dorian Tormak on 31/12/2010 22:03:19 The stabber is faster, has more ehp, has more dps than many frigates, and has a drone as well as neuts. Compared to any frigate a stabber is a nightmare, I would way rather fight a rupture in my frig.
Rupture is good... but the stabber can choose his targets, and while he may not be able to break an active myrm or something (rupture can though right?), still has got enough dps to kill a lot of targets.
For what, 10 - 15 mil for the fit and ship?
E - Kite belli's drones do a lot of dps, which are killable, and unless you're using missiles (no neuts = fail fit), the stabbers guns outdps the belli's guns.

Rather fight a Rupture in a frigate than a Stabber? You are trolling, right?
Edit: The Bellicose also get twice the EHP compared to stabber, so even if we assume its drones are instantly destroyed (LOL), or never deployed (ROFL), it will have put more damage on target in the end before it has to leave. It also has a credible frigate defense.

+1 Stabber. It's not fantastic, and it's not often my first choice for cruiser PvP, but it's fast enough to choose its targets, and has range enough to screw around with people who haven't gotten the "blaster's are junk" memo and still jump into thoraxs, or poor brutix and harbinger pilots. More importantly, though, it's fun to fly.

The Bellicose is fantastic fitted with LSEs and used as a kiting AC boat and is much better at it than a Stabber, not many people realise it though.

How has no one mentioned the Vexor yet?
The 2 ogre, 2 hammer, 1 hob setup with a 1600 plate and trimarks can spit out 450~ dps (small autocannons etc) while tanking close to 40k..
It's basically a battlecruiser in cruiser form.

Blackbird is best T1 cruiser for gangs. For solo, most of them are pretty lousy or merely adequate. Rupture probably is best generalist one (can do 1vs1 or gangs).

Gets 500+ volley damage with good skills, so it's not terrible but it's not stellar either. TBH I'd never fly this setup in a PVE setting. The only time I'd consider undocking it is as bait, and it wouldn't have T2 fittings on it.

Is there really any practical difference?
But to be specific it's the booster rockets. Thats a 50 mil mod. Oh and the lack of any tackle at all so its a bait ship that can't hold what it catches so the target simply warps away when local spikes. Oh and the terrible resists so anything spewing some em and thermal will eat your tank up with a quickness and probably pop you before the gang can get to you.

Is there really any practical difference?
But to be specific it's the booster rockets. Thats a 50 mil mod. Oh and the lack of any tackle at all so its a bait ship that can't hold what it catches so the target simply warps away when local spikes. Oh and the terrible resists so anything spewing some em and thermal will eat your tank up with a quickness and probably pop you before the gang can get to you.
Really? I didn't know they were that much. I don't really care which AB is used, I just picked one. In the posted fit I was going for maximum tank possible- as I said, I wouldn't use T2 on a bait ship, and a tackle is obviously needed. EM and therm hole is very large, but as most of what my FW corp does is cruiser and below, I'm not worried about 20k worth of shields being eaten too fast- especially since fleet will be in next system most likely. I'm not saying it's a practical fit, or that it should be flown- I just thought it up for fun and think it would be interesting to try out sometime.

34.3k EHP and actually fits a fscking tackle module. If you can skip the tackle module, swap the EM-resist rig for another extender and fit a photon scattering field. You'll get the same 44k EHP figure without the gaping EM hole and without fitting a 50 million isk afterburner.

Originally by: Kneebone You have to look at the line up beyond who would win in a 1v1. The cruiser line up includes EWAR ships, Logi/Indy ships, and Combat ships. Would a Rupture own an OSprey? Sure would, but can it outmine the Osprey?
Sure it can.

Originally by: Kyo Haku I'd say the Caracal. It can get the strongest pure buffer tank of any T1 cruiser (maybe faction too, haven't tried) while retaining a good damage output. 22k shield HP? Yes please. 
i would like to see that setup please

I wanted to see how strong a tank I could actually get on this thing. With my skills, a smidge over 22k shield HP (not EHP). An invuln brings EHP (not shield hp) up to 50k+, but it's slow as hell. Still is with an AB, but 450 m/s is better than 215. In practice I'd drop down to meta and fit a scram or disruptor- I think this would make a sturdy baitship for frigate gangs.
You could drop the 4th extender and replace it with an invuln and gain more EHP. Also:

That has more EHP (when you replace the purgers with extenders), and has the benefit of actually using cruiser weapons lol.

So fit a MWD instead and swap the scram for a little more CPU. It's not like you don't have the grid for it.
Smartass.

Thats pretty much what I use actually, cept I generally use meta instead of T2, and disruptor instead of scram. -- "Far be it from me to stand in judgment. I prefer to sit." -Stephen Colbert |

Or that. I was trying to stay more or less true to the fit that was given. Either propulsion/point combo works.
