Hello!
Me and a friend are fairly new at PVP, but we're about to start experimenting with some duo roaming (as we don't know many people in EVE interested in PVP).
We're looking for cruisers well suited for this particular task, specifically fitted to fly with eachother, if this can bring us an advantage.
I'm limited to Amarr cruisers (and my skills being mainly in drones and lasers), my wingman can fly both Gallente and Caldari cruisers (missiles being his favoured weapon system, but now going into drones/hybrids aswell).
Any ideas? What would be your ultimate duo within these limitations? We'd love to be able to actually catch people, and to be able to deal with a variety of targets.
Any input appreciated!

Arbitrator gets the tracking disruptor bonus so any with turrets is going to suffer especially if you put a few neuts in the high slots, you also get the advantage of carrying plenty of drones.
With the Moa you get bloody good tank out of them and still allot of DPS, with a utility mid for some ECCM or damp ect if you really want to, should tank fine if you are neuting someone and have them tracking disrupted from the arbitrator and are sat at the edge of neut range.
Thank you, that's an inspiring idea! I've been thinking alot about the arbitrator - my skillset is perfect for it, as I mainly fly the Pilgrim for PVE. I've just been looking at Omen/Maller primarily because the arbitrator always seemed more complex/harder to use!
I'm going to look into some Moa setups for my friend. Great idea, thank you!
I'd love more ideas though, so everyone feel free to brainstorm along. Wich T1 cruisers synergize well for duo work? |

I was under the impression that T1 cruisers were a lot more viable now after the changes Retribution introduced.
I've been playing around with T1 frigates, and having fun with it. The only problem for me is that with frigates, everything happens so quickly - I feel that with cruisers, even though i won't win any fights, I'll still (to a larger extent) be able to follow along what's happening, tracing my mistakes easier.
Also, they look really cool, and I want to be able to utilize my T2 gun skills etc.
Thanks for the input! |

Arbitrator and Vexor
Arbitrator and anything
Two Caracals or Stabbers.
Just dont skip consistency, if you fly an armor Vexor and your friend a Caracal/Stabber then you will die at the first sign of trouble.
Hmm, could you expand on that last sentence? Why would an armor vexor and a Carcal die at the first sign of trouble? |
