I have an alt that in 3 days time could fly a plate rax without drones. Within the week he could have decent small gunnery skills. With just basic drone skills this Thorax and 150k SP ( if that ) is capable of holding its own vs. a dedicated cruiser pilot witn 3+mil SP of another race. Ballance? No. The thorax gets better exponentially... other cruisers don't have the ability. wouldnt you be able to do this with any cruiser? say a rupture? the rupture has the same number of low and medium slots, but 1 more high slot. you could use 4 light autocannons (that use 0 cap) while you wait for drones? and it's a long wait for drone skills, no joke.

Narial Thrikill	Posted - 2005.08.25 05:14:00 - [3] cant you do close to the same thing (barring the drones that is) with a rupture. you can fit a 1600mm plate and use light autocannons. and since your weapons use 0 cap that leaves all your cap to your armor rep. or fit an 800mm plate and you can use dual 180mm autocannons and take advantage of the rof and dmg bonus of the rupture? AND still fit 2 assault launchers.
