Only looks good on the paper I guess, or CCP employed an origami master for their new ship designs. :)
It basically means the same thing as glass cannons.

I fly the Talwar alot during small gang roams. It's a wonderful support boat. orbit at disruptor range and hold something. Thing's made of paper though. i'd never use it in a 1v1. I've seen rocket builds hold up vs frigs and LML builds toss DPS and fit a TD/TP or something for small fleets
Most of the Tier 2s work well in small gangs. Outside of that? i haven't really found a use for them
Mission running? god no...

They are great, but definitely more pvp orientated. The Dragoon and Algos are drone boats and as such need good skills to be awesome. They're not low sp L2 mish runner friendly. The Corax has great alpha for a missile boat and the Talwar is a slippery fish.
On the whole, their strengths suit small gang/fleet pvp the best. Personally for pve, I'd stick with the old dessys. |

They're destroyers.
They don't have anything like the EHP they need to be anything other than throwaway glass cannons, or faction warfare gimp boats that work because nothing else on the field is bigger than it.
If you're actually in a vaguely substantial fleet cruisers are still better anti-frigate ships. |

<--- proud use of a Talwar to kill a myrmidon and force a second to jump.
Fleet was 2 talwars, 1 caracal, 1 incursus, (and gateguns)
I'm suggesting just think outside of the box with them. They're plain and simple very viable cheap support role ships in fleets. And apparently can roam in fleets of their own as in the videos above

The corax does level 2 missions quite well. The algos can do solid dps if you have good drone skills.
I run 3x hob IIs and 2x hammerheads IIs in my algos. |
