I love my Worm... in theory anyway... a missle/drone boat frigate. I know for the money it kinda sucks but I still love flying the little bugger.
Anyone have any luck with this overpriced little thing? What's your favorite fit?

I tried so hard to like it (being that I really like my Gila and my Rattler). But in the end, I can buy 3 Hookbill's for the price of 1 Worm and do a lot more work it HB.
Sold it and bought 3 HB's.

If you find a fit that doesn't suck, let me know. Not that I have a lot of use for it because sentry guns dislike me. A lot. -- Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire On Twitter

As far as the fir goes, the problem I run into is having to add CPU mods in the lows in order to fit anything worth while in the mids.

A little different concept, not sure what I would use it for, but lets you run everything at about 60km.

I was thinking about a long range worm like that. I imagine, if flown correctly could target cruisers down to frigs. Perfect in a small fleet too.

If I can reach out to 60, and do just over 1000 m/s with an AB (that does not bloom my sig), what the he!! am I trying to catch? Anything trying to catch me is going to have to run through 50KM of missile fire and drones (fast little T2 buggers).
Now, that said, again this is hypothetical - I said I like my chances in a Hookbill much better.

If you are going to fly it like that you might as well use a Crow, which is capable of actually maintaining that range and is capable of getting through camps. All your Worms DPS is in drones which will take forever to fly the 60km to whatever you are engaging. FAIL

I was talking about worms in general, not your comedy lossmail.
If you are going to fly your fit solo don't expect to kill anything, and the DPS is going to be so anaemic that if anything did try to catch up to you you would end up having to warp out either without your drones or without having done much more than scratch their shields.
I'd probably only fly it in something like this but really, it's not worth flying at all.

Worms are epic. You got your drones, long range missiles, and tankiness. What's not to like? No, it's not a dramiel, you're not supposed to fly it like one.

Had one once, Loved it until i lost it. Didn't have the heart to buy another one because i hate how the merlin looks. Pirate ships are supposed to look cool. Not as if CCP got lazy and put a new coat of paint on it.

Worm is the smaller version of a jack of all trade ship. Use it as such. I find they work great as over powered interceptor. Use the rockets for defender missles, ecm drones, keep a long range point going. Used with mwd at just over 20k off with a disruptor it handles just fine. Even puts out some damage to pop drones that are sent your way. Has the tank to make it work too.
A little intercept, a little assult, a little ew. If your trying to make it do just one you'll always find a ship that does that one better. Yet nothing comes close to the mix this thing can put out for a frig.
Huge love for the worm!

No it doesn't. Your assumption is that I am trolling without actually reading what I put. Or that you are so clueless you think your disaster of a fit is a good idea. Just because you don't like what I have to say doesn't mean I'm trolling ~~~

The worm is such a great ship... On paper. I really wish it was usable with some success, because I do love the Merlin hull. Maybe one day they will give it some help...

I really think this ship is on par with the other faction frigs if not already better.
Like most of the gurista line they just have the mixed roll and not many people train what is needed for these and they don't have a clue on how to fit them.

If it didn't cost so much it would be competitive with AF's but as it stands there's little reason to use one. It doesn't even have the advantage other obscure ships have where you will get more fights; people still avoid it. ~~~

Ditto.
Stop stating your point as if it is the ONLY point. When I used a Worm, it worked with my fit, for me, just fine for two reasons;
1. What I used it for 2. My style of play
Does not make it bad or wrong. Worked for me, may not work for you. I could care less.
The Worm, like most ships in Eve, has its place. It can fill multiple roles, but (as usual) that depends on the situation. the use and the player.
I would have another one, just for the unique nature of it and the possibiliteis.

Uh, I think you are being a bit unfair and I'm a bit sick of you derailing this thread. No one called YOU a troll and no one DISMISSED your opinion. The Lady simply offered a counterpoint. You then got all upset about it and started shouting TROLL while being dismissive and frankly making yourself look foolish. If you want to offer a reasonable contribution rather than just lol I know your name and think you are a troll so I will not read your post seriously then go ahead but otherwise please let people that want to discuss this ship remain on topic.
Besides, you admit to not knowing that much yourself so even if the advice is a little scathing I would suggest you pay attention.
I also suggest you try the crow for what you are using the worm for. I don't mean this in any way diminishes your right to fly the worm as you do but I simply suggest you give it a go I linked a fit above and the reasons why it 'might' be better but don't get offended please, it's only a suggestion

However, it felt just like a way under performing Hookbill. While I suppose its serviceable, its nowhere competitive compared to other pirate/faction frigates. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |
