I was looking at the kronos and i was wondering if theres any kronos pilots out there that can tell me what the kronos is good for PVP or PVE and why the ship is either good and or bad at the 2 roles i just mentioned. Thank You. |

Originally by: XBlack OpsX I was looking at the kronos
Look elsewhere.
It's a short-range hybrid ship that cannot support itself properly with drones. That's three strikes against it in quick succession for PvE. For PvP, it's just too expensive and too vulnerable for what it does, with a ton of pointless bonuses that you'll never use ù go for a Vindicator instead, if you want the useful parts of the ship. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Use the Vindicator, and if you can train for it, the Machariel. They are the closest to the kronos while a million times better. Seriously, the Kronos can put out 700dps PVE while the vindicator can put out 1100.

Well to be fair a lack of targets will be the least of your problems when you are a kronos backed by a falcon. You're not gonna be worried about your inability to get point when the carrier fleet drops you. You're not going to be worried about being too slow when local spikes by 20 just after you begin an engagement.
You're going to be thinking, 'Oh god I hope the jams go off.'
In the meantime the 'real' targets you have will be other pvpers trying to kill you with insufficient force. But mostly the blob.

I like the railgun shield tanked Kronos for Incursion sites. But I have to admit the Vindicator is better.
EDIT: The best thing you can do with a Kronos is turn it into a HP buffer loot ship with MWD. 40km Tractor beams with salvagers and a large cargo bay. It's by far one of the best if not best loot ship that's unlikely to get ganked like most loot frigs..

Well seems to me with all the responses that the kronos pretty much sucks and the vindicator in pretty much every way is better than the kronos and of course less skill intensive. Now i got another question. Is it really necessary to faction fit a kronos or vindicator or will T2 get the job done? Sometimes it seems that faction fits get soo crazy in the cost that the fitting alone are worth more than the ship. |

Short answer no, in my experience T2 fits work just aswell BUT fitting faction modules give you less headaches with grid and cpu and in general are just that all important little bit better ________________________________________ Minmatar are like jedi knights, we use ductape as our force, it has a darkside and a sticky side

Had my Kronos since they appeared in the game. Have a Paladin to.
Overall I like my Kronos its like a small puppy, maybe not the brightest of the bunch but loveable.
Have a Vindicator to, its damage is very impressive but requires more micro management to ensure it can do pve. The thing that puts me off the Vindicator is the drone hold space, too small for 5x Heavies/Sentries and 5x Mediums making it vulnerable to small frigate attack.
Used the Kronos in pvp a few times as a buffer tank and was impressed with its performance.
Overall over the years I always find my self back in the pilots seat of the Kronos, its like an old friend now, I agree not the best damage dealer of them all, but I still like it. It being underestimated also works to my advantage in some situations 
Faction modules are, in my option, not needed, I have it fitted T2 with some cheap damage mods and it works well, I havenÆt had its tank broken in any level 4.

Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: It is ridiculous to fit a billion ISK ship for 30M or so. Guns, cap rechargers, hardeners, etc all just t2. (Dunno how vindi is CPU wise, if it is as ****ty as normal/navy mega you might need faction hardeners, but they are cheap anyway). Damage mods always faction. Webifiers always faction (gal navy to be precise). Tracking computers and afterburners i would also do faction, but that you can get away with t2 i suppose. Pretty much same for LAR, you can do t2, but you might be able to free up a tank slot if you use a faction LAR.
T2 rigs are nice because they dont make you much more of a target for possible suicide ganks while possibly giving decent increase in performance.

I really wonder how many ppl shouting "it sucks" actually ever flew a kronos...
Despite what some ppl will lead you to believe the kronos doesn't suck for pve. Its a very capable mission ship, probably the best pure gallente ship, despite the fact that it uses rails. Its not easy to train for though. The fact that other races' marauders are better is true though.
A vindicator for PvE is a ridiculous idea... get a machariel instead if you have those skills already, its far better for pve.
For pvp a kronos is only as good as battleships are in pvp... its web bonus isnt bad, but it suffers from the marauders' scan res Battleships dont have a big place in pvp to start with... unless you count fleets, but who on earth flies a marauder in big fleets?

I personally have found the Kronos more than reasonable in Guristas anomalies in 0.0; my experiences with it have been delightful, particularly once I added some ECCM modules to counteract the low base sensor strength. |

With the introduction of MWD's in deadspace pockets blasterfit kronos does very well for pve both missions and 0.0 anomalies and plexes, doing above 1k dps and salvaging on the go. Someone might come along and brag about how much dps his Macharial does, but he misses out on alot of money by not salvaging the wrecks so in the end, you can laugh all the way to the bank with your kronos. Definitely a viable option if you don't want to run multiple accounts for salvaging and what not. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

just to follow-up i flew a kronos for a year and made great isk on lvl 4s with it. i then toyed with a shield fit domi and found it to do better dps but it was less forgivable tank wise. this may have been because my shield tanking skills blew. the kronos is a neat ship and i'm sure i'll always have a soft spot in my ♥ for it but the reality is that for the rest of my eve career, i will probably never own one ever again. i've found that there's just much better ships out there. if i had known now what i knew when i started training for the kronos i would have not trained for it. rather i would have opted for the shield fit domi, golem or vargur. mostly likely i'd have gone with the vargur, not because it's the best ship but because all the skills for it transition into PVP really well. this would have saved me months (even a year+) worth of cross training time. i'm not saying you'll have to cross train if you go down the gallente path, i'm just saying when you've accomplished what you wanted, you then set out to do things better, which leads you to minmatar PVP wise. so it's not a matter of if you'll cross train but when.
we love you kronos pilots but god help you if you chose that path. you're the ones who like to play games in hard mode :)

Actually I do, I fly it nearly since they got introduced. Against stuff that stays at 20-60km range a rail domi is better, however if you mostly fight stuff like angels or do missions where you kill most of the targets at 80-100km the tracking bonus + 2 TCs/ability to fit 2 Drone Links w/o dropping guns make it better in practice. What it really needs are 2 more sentry's and useful rails.

I second this.

They aren't this expensive after the T2 insurance changes last year, probably on par with a T3 cruiser, at least the Kronos, but your chances to get a point at BCs and smaller stuff are close to zero at gates or belts. This doesn't make it attractive outside spending tons on faction fits, booster alts and imps and try your luck with a over sized active tank in consensual combat.  ---- Nerf Tank - Boost Gank!

Kronos would actually be quite good for farming Serpentis anomalies/belt ratting. And the rats drop Cap 800 so you'll never run out. The rats like to come close so blasters won't be too much of an hindrance and you can put that DPS and web bonus at work. There are no macrominers in EVE |

Belt ratting in a kronos is just stupid. Also only reason you need cap boosters is because you are pretty much perma running your mwd to get into range.
Quote: I really wonder how many ppl shouting "it sucks" actually ever flew a kronos...
I do, still my main mission ship since i dont mission that often anyway and i dont have atm isk to buy machariel.
Quote: Despite what some ppl will lead you to believe the kronos doesn't suck for pve. Its a very capable mission ship, probably the best pure gallente ship, despite the fact that it uses rails.
With loot nerf I seriously doubt it is better than a well fitted domi. But in the end being the best pure gallente ship in pve is like winning the special olympics.
Quote: A vindicator for PvE is a ridiculous idea... get a machariel instead if you have those skills already, its far better for pve.
Serious? Sure machariel is better, but you here act like they are anything remotely similar in skills. There is only ONE skill that is similar if you come from flying gallente, and that is minnie BS lvl 4 (later you probably want lvl 5, but lvl 4 is reasonable start). Then you are finished for your vindicator and got everything you need. Meanwhile for a machariel you need to completely train up your shield tanking skills and projectile turret skills. That is like saying when you got warp drive operation V finished you are pretty much ready to fly a dread.

Alot of people here are failing with the Kronos, it's sad. Doing anomalies in my Kronos vs, sansha/bloodraiders I get 80% isk/tick of carriers doing the same, but I get more isk/hour than they do as I can salvage and loot the entire anomaly within the time it takes me to finish it. Cap is not an issue at all, running the MWD as much as needed to keep the rats within blaster range. 2x Tech 2 CCC rigs and gist x-type mwd is only 520m total...

Edited by: Julia Allrian on 09/03/2011 11:16:05 Well i have a Kronos and Shield Tanked Navy Dominix.
Imho the ShieldFit dominix does the missions faster because of the Rails and 5 sentries, but the tank is not that impressive although i have if mostly faction fitted (to be able to fit everything essential, not poissible with just T2)
With blasters the Kronos does most missions reasonable fast and the range is sufficient with some mods. The MWD/AB is not really needed that much and therefore also not the cap booster.
Shield Domi is funny and really fast but eats through CapBoosters. Fancy Ship Kronos is more reliable. Solid Mission Ship.
I dont use the Navy Dominix anymore, it just collects dust now.
I cannot say anything about PvP since i dont fly any mission ships into lowsec or lower.

Actually, my own experiences are slightly different, (i sold my navy mega after i was able to fly the kronos) The navy mega served me well as a mission ship, but its not better at everything then the kronos.
With my skills, the kronos does more dps and has more tank then the navy mega (and a better cap to boot) with comparable setups. That includes t2 sentries, t2 rails and faction dmg mods and whatnot.
But in general, the differences in price and performance are not that big, and im also talking about the navy domi here. Offcourse a normal domi is much cheaper, and performs allright as well.

Edited by: Swynet on 09/03/2011 13:14:29 Well same pve fit +/- since low/med slot numbers a little different with T2rails/faction ammo I get 58K EHP for the Kronos vs 100KEhp for the Navy Mega and 750DPS for the Kronos vs 850 for the Navy version, all skills lvl 5, both with faction magstabs T2 hybrid burst aerator for the Kronos and T1 cap recharge rigs.
Both get 3Fed MFS Both get 2 Faction Energised Adaptative Both get 1 Energised Explosive Only the Navy gets the DC2 (extra low slot) Both get 1 Faction Armor Rep
- since + than 3 MFS is more penalising than interesting (and T2 hybrid aerator rigg for Kronos) - If I change one of the Energised platings for 1 DC2 on Kronos I get more EHP but not more dps
EDIT: Not including the 175M3 drone bay of the Mega Navy vs the 125M3 of the Kronos
Can you link me your fit, I would like to test it and see what's wrong with mine. ________________________________________________

Actually, i see you are right about the dps, i forgot i had faction ammo loaded in my kronos, and not in the navy mega.
its not influencing the tank part though, the kronos has much better cap and resist, and will have more tank, despite the higher EHP of the mega, but thats not too important for missions imo.

3 man 10/10s in less than 15 minutes in Serpentis space.
Ishtar for tank, Kronos for BS duty, BC/T3 for smaller ships.
Other than that, there are loads of options for simpler tasks like anomalies, missions, belt ratting, etc.

Hi, what about this Kronos fit? I never used Kronos before(used Dominix for lvl4 missions).
[Kronos, Maybe??] Armor Explosive Hardener II Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer True Sansha Large Armor Repairer Armor Explosive Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Quad LiF Fueled I Booster Rockets Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range
Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Null L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Null L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Null L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Null L Salvager I Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I
Large Auxiliary Nano Pump I Large Nanobot Accelerator I
Hammerhead II x5
- switch hardeners according mission, it should tank about 500DPS, - main concern is effective range of blasters - it should have 15km optimal + 26km falloff, - idea is to use range scripts for distant targets, then switch to tracking and help drones to kill frigates, - i am not sure, if there should be MWD or not, - it is possible to faction it, or use implants, this is basic t2 fit.
Any ideas, how to improve it are welcome.

Rather a question with kronos is; if it's worth the price tag because of ability to salvage on the fly and some 50 more dps then a regular 40mil base vanilla domi ? Depending how much your drone skills suck kronos can make more DPS but with maxed out drones & gun skills a domi does more DPS then a kronos which tells more about rails being bad then kronos being bad it self. Also a fun fact is that a shield tanked domi (grid) with T2 lasers & drones has 1000dps without any inherent bonus to lasers ofc. dps ins't everything but it still feels like a slap in the face when you fiddle with lasers in EFT.

No it doesn't.
Now if you want to "rush" your mission killing all stuff very fast (World collide full clean like 30mn) then you forget your Domi afk Santa Barbara.
Now add to your question: IS the price tag and the skills time learn worth?
I'd say no. Again the Navy Mega with he's extra stats and low slot becomes another different ship than the base one, it's just a new ship and a very good one. Full fit T2 and faction ammo the tiny little differences the Krons adds are completly screwd vs the Mega Navy for this:
Web bonus = blasters and blasters get ready to spend your time running after stuff to be able to shoot it + locking time is so slow... on top of that add the fact that your Kronos will be jammed easyear than the mega base version. If you equip your Kronos with rails then the Navy Mega will win again.
People can say "get friends" to lvl4, well what's the point when you take a mega navy and you'll be much confortable?
No need to train months for the marauders class while you can do exaclty the same thing with the navy version or even better, for less than half time spent training marauders you can get the vindi wich has more dps than the marauder and it's better on everything.
I mean, Marauders means just "months" training for a salvager bonus, cargo bay and be jammed wy everything with a T1 mod and no skils?

with a low grade snake set, zors hyperlink and the damage implants, this has 1246 gun dps the same setup with rails has 806 gun dps 1423m/s overloaded it goes 2040m/s
I have recently tried some gallente missions with a similar setup. massive attack took around 16min, this mission has you over 100km from some targets on warp in. The larger cargo bay of the kronos is needed for cap boosters, aside from anything else its more fun to fly than a domi with sentries.
Not sure how the timing compares to longer range ships?

425mm rail domi puts out more DPS than a similarly fit vindicator. Blaster domi puts out ~1300 DPS with a t2 fit (faction ammo, but no faction aside from that) if you're up against rats that get in close. |

No it doesn't.
Now if you want to "rush" your mission killing all stuff very fast (World collide full clean like 30mn) then you forget your Domi afk Santa Barbara.
425mm rail domi puts out more DPS than a similarly fit vindicator. Blaster domi puts out ~1300 DPS with a t2 fit (faction ammo, but no faction aside from that) if you're up against rats that get in close.
I would like to see this fit  ________________________________________________

I've posted the fit at least a dozen times on these very forums, and many others have posted fits similar to it, I'd suggest you read up on the domi and how to use it in pve before questioning the people who've flown it for years, it makes you look bad  |

There you go (at least i assume that is the one they mean, i considered them recently for guristas anomalies, but for now i cant afford the cost of the required shield booster considering the higher dps in anomalies than in lvl 4 missions).

That's basically it. Downgrade to a t1 domi with t2 mods and you've got your 1300 DPS monster, fit a vindi with a shield tank and 425s (the best dps at range you can get from a vindi) and you'll get a tiny bit less DPS than a domi using the same mods. |
