Hi all,
I'm a miner and i'm a big big noob in fighter ship... I have red about Thrasher and Sabre info and, exept the fact that sabre can have Interdiction Sphere Launcher (which is very good), i don't understand the differences beetwen them. It even seem to me that thrasher is better ....
If i want do PVE, what ship is the best ? |

Once upon a time (actually not all that long ago) all destroyers had a 25% rate of fire penalty -- something that interdictors didn't have. This made the Sabre clearly superior to the Thrasher. The Crucible patch removed this penalty. Since then, destroyers have been at least on par with interdictors and in terms of raw damage output the Thrasher clearly beats the Sabre. The only thing the Sabre still offers is T2 resists, but honestly if those are really coming in to play in a PvE environment you've already screwed that pooch. |

AC Sabre > AC Thrasher as it gets a falloff bonus. Sabre is faster then a Thrasher. Sabre has a worse power grid and makes a very poor arty platform. Oh, and bubbles. |

Tech 1 ships get far better insurance, though. Tech 2 has little compared to the cost of the ship. |

Saber: GÇó Nullsec bubble dropper and flying coffin (pvp) GÇó Overly priced Thrasher (pve)
Thrasher: GÇó Frigate eating monster (pvp & pve) GÇó LVL 1 missions owning beast, and can tackle some LVL 2's |

Sabre's falloff is almost a second damage bonus - since frigate weapons are out of optimal most of the time. I'd fly a sabre over a thrasher any day ...if the sabre didnt cost so much... |

That pretty much. I once went head-to-head with AC Sabre in my AC Thrasher. The guy went down to hull before I popped. He won only because he pulled away from me and I went too deep into falloff.
Generally I would use Thrasher and then get into cruisers fast without spending much time with destroyers. |

Meanning he could have dictated range at any time and graped you. |

Extra mid so you can actually shield tank it while having some sort of range control. That's the main reason I would fly a Sabre over a Thrasher. But both are good ships in their own right. |

Thrasher. It's way cheaper and demolish it *if you fly it agressively*. Get in there tackle that Sabre, scram it, and it wont be fast anymore. 7 X 200mm II and a rocket launcher will punish it. The Sabre will have use a top slot for the dictor launcher - good fr you, you can kill the pod as well.
Tbh. I can't recall last time I was in a Sabre. Thrashers has beat them on almost every encounter I've had against them, or made it out alive.
