or whats a good Caldari gun cruiser? It has a tanking bonus and a bonus to optimal range for med guns... why is the apparent feeling that the ship sucks?

It tries to fill a role that doesnt exist, and struggles with fitting while trying.

While doing anemic damage (Railguns) or having poor range and insufficient mobility (Blasters).
If you want guns go projectile, if you want Caldari go missile.

I have Caldari Cruisers 3, thinking about going for 5.
The Moa would be the last Caldcari Cruiser I would fly.

see its the asking why part Im going for here. "Its the last ship Id fly" doesnt really answer the question
Used to be Caldari = missiles, Gallente = drones etc cause there were the starting packages, now that there arent, its not more opened up? There is no viable gun cruiser platform for Caldari?

Well, thats certainly true for the Moa. It doesnt get a bonus to blasters and it fails with railguns, so you could practically stick any type of gun on it.
The problem is, with the exception of pulse lasers, there are other cruisers that just do the same way better.

Caldari ships like range, meaning that most of the Caldari gunboats are designed to fit Railguns. However, Railguns are terrible and aren't practical in a real combat situation. Why do you think you never hear anything about any Caldari gunboats?

Simple - your damage is pathetic, and any autocannon or even some blaster boats can run up to you and rip you apart, because you have no way of controlling range. If you do put webs on, you'll have no tank.
Blastermoa has some uses, but Thorax is better. Rupture beats both. - - -

So far as Ive ever hear the Rokh is a PVP ship I did fairly well with a Cormorant and T2 small rails, effectively "sniper tanking" lol killing everything 50+ km out so it could never even shoot at me ----------------------------------------- If you dont learn from the past you are doomed to repeat it http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1469262&page=2#51 |

You're forgetting range; your damage isn't much but you're hitting in your optimal at around 20km.
Originally by: Vikarion Any auto boats can catch and rip this apart.
This Moa is slightly faster than a plated trimarked Rupture. = faster than most other armortanked cruisers as well.
Originally by: Vikarion Thorax is better.
Situational.
Originally by: Vikarion Rupture beats both.
Plated trimarked Rupture dies to the posted Moa setup.
Again: Brainwashed Minmatar lovers.
Edit: The neut also helps with controlling range against some ships.

It does look good on paper, but you have to keep in mind the heavy strain you put on your capacitor.
The top speed isnt all that much for a kiting setup, you'll have to pretty much permarun that microwarp in order to keep your range and avoid a situation where they simply break out of disruptor range or catch you by overloading.
For kiting setups the sprinting capability is important, and your setup doesnt have that. They are harder to fly than people make it out to be on these forums, and without a solid speed advantage it doesnt get any easier.

maybe you should ask its twin, the Gila. apparently, she soaked up most of the resources in her mother's womb to be born awesome, leaving the Moa with Down's.

You'll take around a minute to shave off half the EHP of a shield Rupture or shield Thorax, by that time you are almost out of cap and drones have chewed into your buffer considerably. And that is not even taking into account both ships are faster than you in the first place.
Now with armor fittings, before your cap dies and they inevitably catch up you'll have taken less than 1/3rd of their buffer, and they sport more than twice (almost three times for Thorax) your damage output plus neuts in the case of the Rupture.
Fair enough Omara, but having said all that, I think a cap boosted, medium shield booster setup could do really well.

The Moa is intended to be a T1 cruiser sniper. There are several problems with this idea...
1. The existence of battlecruisers. 2. It requires really good fitting skills which people who fly T1 cruisers often don't have. 3. Despite the specific design of the Moa as the cruiser sniper, an artillery Rupture deals more DPS (despite having fewer guns) at about the same range with much more alpha and better cap stability, while being faster and more agile and carrying more drones.

Even a LSB setup will struggle to keep up with drone damage from Thorax or combined drone and ranged turret damage from Rupture. No chance really for anything less, unless we are talking deadspace medium booster which is completely out of bounds for pricetag.
That LSB is putting even more strain on the capacitor even after we figure in dropping that neut for a medium injector, I dont see it working tbh.

Hey, you asked for a battlecruiser sniper platform. I gave you one, it even has range bonuses. Pretty much every BC can be used for sniping though, its all in how you fit them.
You didn't ask for a GOOD sniper BC though, else I would ahve gone beam-harby, or arty-cane.

-only the drake can reach DPS greater than 400 with a crapload of BCS's. secondly, missile boats cannot snipe as their damage isnt instant. by the time the second volley reaches the target, it's gone.
-none of these can fire from distances greater than 80km. therefore, this isnt sniping. the cane cant even reach 70km with all of its mighty 300dps (assuming all lows gyro II's)
- all of these ships can be fit for medium range combat, which means they do close too 100% of their dps at about 50-60km. the damage doesnt come close to a sniper HAC's, and the range is 60% of a sniper HAC at best.

when fitting big railguns on the moa or ferox, you end up with powergrid issues, iirc.
blaster moa with a neut can be a nasty surprise of a baitship in lowsec though, depending what bites. EC-P8R... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. |

A 720mm cane with a sniper fit can hit out to 127km optimal+falloff of which 81km is optimal. It will also do 270dps with a 2.3k alpha (tracking willing) My standard arty cane that I take on roams hit beyond 70km with tremor if I wanted it too so I'm not sure where your getting your numbers from.

Actually, the Moa isn't that bad. In blaster pvp form it's quite decent, has a nice tank, decent speed, good damage and range. In pve it's no worse off than most other turret cruisers, on paper it loses dps which in reality other ships lose as well due to needing different ammo or being in falloff more.
It's not that bad as people say but yes, per above poster; hybrids are the issue.

All t1 cruisers that arent blackbird is almost definitely outclassed by other ship classes
thorax , rupture, or all so-called good cruisers arent exempt from this same rule at all, they might be arguably better then moa, but they still pale in comparison to the battlecruisers being cheaper after insurance and more effective.

I guess we all agree that for PvE the moa is horrible, theres no reason to use anything with rails at all if you have acces to the drake or even the caracal.
For PvP however, its a little bit more diverse, every ship has a role or a purpose, and can kill something with a properly skilled and experienced pilot in the right situation.
That being said, the role for tech 1 snipe cruisers isnt a big one, and the moa has horrible dps at that, mostly because of hybrids, and the lack of a much needed dmg bonus on the ship. With blasters it might work, but not better then any other blaster boat currently in existance, most likely a bit worse even.
