Im starting to wonder wich BS/BC i should go for, i've had Both BS's in the past. But Never really got to the point were i meet anything that was a danger to them.
I like to get up close and personal wen fighting both PvP and NPC. And i Rely heavy on lunching 8 heavy Drones right in the face of my enamies.
What im asking, wich of these ships is the better NPC level 3 hunter? I've never Flown a Cyclone so i have no idea if it's up to the task as an effecient NPC hunter in Low security areas...
Please All you guy's with answers like "selfdestruct" or Buy a Raven, or go get an apoc.... GO SOME WERE ELSE TO POST.......please

I haven't flown the Cyclone as such, but I do know that BC are more than capable for lvl3 missions, especially with thso drones.

Edited by: Rexy on 07/02/2005 16:16:28 any bs can do lvl3 missions no problemo, i would say it's a bit much to bring to lvl3's. i can do all lvl3's in my cruiser still. so they should be easy enuff still in a BC. if you just want to use 8 heavy's then you need the typhoon as the tempest/cyclone got crap drone bays, slap on some hardners and some large reppers and just wait till the drones are done with your mission.
All i want for cristmas is a typhoon with launcher rof bonus :) |

Edited by: Amalgatha on 07/02/2005 16:22:25 The Typhoon is more than capable of running Lvl3-mission.... I do most Lvl4-missions alone with a Phoon, which is a sturdy and versatible BS, which can be fittet in multiple ways. I prefer the Vampire-Fitting w. 4 Nos + 4 Siege, AB & armor-tank, where most of of the time a single medium acco. repper is more than enough! :)
And it's lot of cheaper than the Tempest...

Typhoon would be a good agent runner. Lots of drones, speedy, and able to use half its high slots on smaller ships which will be needed after the missile nerf. For hardcore hunting I use an Apoc, but I'll warp away from any spawn worth less than 1.5 mil in BS. I think I'd have more fun with a Typhoon.

yeah id go with Alowishus, the phoon is the most fun to fly, its more like a battlecruiser than the cyclone!
Just tank it to the hilt, and try some of those newly polished dual 650s a try along with some sieges, that'll do nicly!

I have no way of checking if this will fit right now but I'd try:
4x Dual 650mm 2x Cruise Launcher 2x Heavy Launcher
Cap Rechargers (possibly a web as well)
1x Large Acco 1x Medium T2 3x Hardener 2x CPR

A Cyclone is a very cheap ship if you craft the ship yourself. I purchased a BP for around 500k and used mostly minerals that I refined from rat loot. Total cost for me was around 2mil in isk to make.
On a final note the cyclone can be a challenge to run through the level 3 missions. I could not imagine doing level 3 missions in a BS, because they would be a complete breeze.

I've flown both the Cyclone (my favorite Minmatar ship) and the Typhoon. The Cyclone is more then able to do lvl 3's just beware of the Extravaganza's. They can be a bit tricky in the Cyclone though if you tank right you can handle it fine. My expierence on lvl 3's though is all with Angel's though so it could be different where you are.
My 'phoon is alright though I hate 1400s still. Stupid tracking still sucks on them but that's for another thread.

typhoon setup: 4 dual 650mm scout with emp ammo (they are quite cheap now and hit cruisers at 5-20km range easily) 4 siege launchers with torps or cruise missles 4 cap rechargers named preferably 1 large repairer -//- -//- 1 thermal 1 explosive 1 kinetic armor harders rest low slots for what you want, gyro II and ballistic prefered
10 heavy and 10 medium drones in drone bay

I haven't used a Tempest yet, but I have flown a Cyclone and a Typhoon rather extensively. Without a doubt the Typhoon is the better level three mission runner.
The Cyclone is perfectly capable of doing all level three missions and for the price it can't be beat. However it is as slow as a battleship and you may have to change setups based on NPC pirate types (i.e. interceptors).
The reason I like the Typhoon for level three missions so much is that you can fit seven nanofibers on it and have it handle like a frigate. I currently use a Typhoon for level three missions here is my loadout :
hi : 4 seige with bane torps, 4 med 650s or 425s mid: active EM/therm hardners, large shield booster, named AB lows : 7 nanofibers
I don't use drones, but I can only imagine heavy drones would make it even better.
The result is essentially a ship that can kill NPC rats quickly PLUS pick up the loot. Acceleration is very fast and the ship has a max speed of 800+ m/s. Warp time is almost as fast as a frigates.
Good luck and have fun! Mp

Mina if you want a Cyclone set up that's tried and true on lvl 3's mail me in game. It looks odd but it'll work and tank like a champ pvp or pve.

Use a Cyclone with 4 t2 720s and some arb. assault launchers, with a shield tank/speed setup w/ damage mods if you can fit it out.
example :
4 720mm IIs, 1 200mm II, 3 arbalest assault
1 YS-8 AB, Medium Shield booster II, 2 hardners
2 Gyro IIs and 2 named power diagnostics -------------------- The Nest

I use the Cyclone exclusively in my L3 missions...Butter.
Its fast, has a nice hold, shield recharge rate is equal to that of the Tempest I believe.
I only have BC lvl 2 as well.
Im using 5 named 425s, 3 heavies, large shield extender, shield boost amp, and an assortment of other junk.
I even do deadspace in a short range setup with an AB....Butter. ____ If your not dyin' your not tryin'. |
