Please read the red text below to avoid misunderstanding

EDIT: The 'useless' ships.
The ships that I think are underrated. I might be wrong but you can always correct me. Do not misunderstand me when I say 'useless' because I'm talking about the ships that players think are useless without knowing what use they have.
I will explain why the ships are on the list below. I also might add the things I have used those ships for.


How about we all come together with an open mind for once and try to find a use for all the 'useless' and ingored ships.

Let me start with a list.

Caldari:

Heron, Condor, Griffin. (The bantam is crap, nothing we can do. Only useful for noobs mining)

Gallente:

Maulus, Atron, (Navitas got removed since it's just a mini-imicus)

Celestis

Dominix.

Minmatar:

Slasher, Breacher

Bellicose - Nothing more here i feel.

Amarr:

Inquisitor, Tormentor, Crucifier, Executioner.

Auguror (It's not a mining ship), Arbitrator!, Omen.

Heron: I rarely see anyone use it. I have used one in a minor fleet battle. I jammed a cyclone and that may have turned the tables since there were not many of us.

Griffin: I used this one a lot. I attacked ravens in it all on my own. It was funny as hell seeing them sit there while the rockets fly at it. Then the tempest comes :(

Condor: It's fast. It can only fit one missile launcher wich is bad. MWD is the only way a concord can ever serve as a combat ship.

Maulus: I saw the description : says there that it's an EW frig. also has 3 med slots and a damper bonus. Might be really good in PVP. Either in fleet battles or frig vs. frig since it reduces the range so greatly. It might need a scrambler but with that i don't know how far a frig can lock with 2 dampers on it.

[About my 'Nerf-all-EW-xcept-scorp-patch' It has turned into a dice game now. The sensor strenght of ships has been boosted. If you use EW frigates and successfully jam. Then you gotta do it again next time wich might not be successful. Then you gotta wait some more and quite possibly get killed while at it.]


Atron: Atron is all MWD and blasters since it has the +5% small hybrid dmg bonus. May have cap problems.

Celestis: I have seen one... twice. It is underrated. With dampeners, rails and launchers it would do good. The problem is looks i guess.

Dominix: It's really efficcient in the right hands. Tho the standard setup seems to have 6 nosses. I only put it here because i think it's the most underrated BS there is but it is really good.

Slasher: Fast, can fire rockets. Maybe good with a nos. But highly fragile.

Breacher: I use one. It's good but players go for the kessie simply because it packs more firepower. The breacher i find good for scouting and tackling. Maybe good for pvp also.

Bellicose: Simple reason = I never see one. It needs a bit of modification. It has slightly more shields but armor has more resistances. Also 4 lows and 3 meds. The mediums are defenatley for AB/MWD and sensor booster. It's good for long range = "While not quite in the league of newer navy cruisers, the Bellicose is still a very solid ship for
most purposes, especially in terms of long range combat"
Also "10% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret Optimal Range
per level." But the basic locking range is only 42 km. I sense a damage dealer here.

Inquisitor: Something like the breacher. A bit slower tho but maybe an armor rep makes up for that.

Tormentor: The Bantam of the Amarr, 2 mining drones make up for the lack of cargo.

Executioner: Fast. only has lasers tho wich gives it cap problems.

Auguror: It should be the Amarr mining cruiser like the scythe, osprey, exequror. It lacks firepower but is defenately a tank since it has 5 lows and " 10% bonus to Armor Hitpoints per level"

Arbitrator: Defenately a good ship. Since it has 4 high and 2 turret/1 launcher it needs to be equipped with something else like a nos, smartbomb, remote repairer. It could use another missile slot and a missile bonus. Same as the Auguror except it has a little less armor and all the drones. Defenately good for experienced players.

Omen: Outclassed by the maller.

That is all.
Btw. Please don't be mean. If you feel that i'm stupid then simply don't reply.
