Even after the ship rebalancing, there are still some that are worthless and are terrible.
Vigil - Minmatar Frigate. Does anyone really use target painters? They're only useful if you're having trouble hitting a target due to a small signature radius. Since frigates typically don't suffer that problem, it's kinda useless. The *only* time I've ever seen a TP used is on a stealth bomber using torps against another frigate sized enemy.
Bellicose - Minmatar Cruiser. Same problem as the Vigil. The need for target painters is rare if ever. By proxy, the need for this ship and it's little frigate brother is also rare if ever. The uses for target painters are few and far between.
Prophecy - Amarr Battlecruiser. So now its primary weapon is drones? Sadly it's underwhelming in comparison to the Myrmidon or even it's smaller brother, the Vexor cruiser. With just 75 mbit/sec, its DPS is underwhelming. If this ship gets flown at all, expect to see it fitted with autocannons or blasters as its primary weapon. /facepalm
Ferox - Caldari Battlecruiser. Still underwhelming even after the rebalance. It's as if it's trying to be on par with the Brutix yet falls short. Maybe when railguns are worth a damn will the Ferox be any good. Plus only five mid slots means the shield tank is a little gimped. Maybe move a high slot to a mid? Or maybe a low to a mid? It might help a little.
Cyclone - Minmatar Battlecruiser. Design for the tank seems to have gone horribly wrong. As a PvP ship, this just screams armor tank despite the shield boosting bonus. Your mid slots will be used for propulsion, web and warp scram/disrupt. There goes three of the five mid slots. The remaining two would have to be a shield extender and a shield booster if you wanted to actually use the shield boosting bonus. In the meantime you still have five low slots not being used. Full damage mod loadout maybe? Seems like a waste.
No, the obvious way to fit this ship for PvP (at least, obvious to me) is to fit armor tank in the lows, propulsion/web/disruptor/ewar in the mids, and heavy assaults and neuts in the highs.
Trolling is like art.
