Originally by: Denrace I find that my BlastEagle can eat a Zealot up in no time. I cant fit a scambler/disruptor - but lets assume the ships stay put for now.
HIGH: 2x Assaults, 4x Neutrons
MED: 1x Large Tech II Extender, 2x EM Hardeners, 2x Small Gistii A-Type Shield Boosters
LOWS: 4x PDU II
I can tank a Zealot in this. I can tank an Ishtar in this. I can tank a Deimos in this. INDEFINATELY.
If you have an interceptor support (this is an MMO afterall peeps) then the BlasterEagle is a highly efficient killing machine, that can tank ABSURD amounts of damage with the Gistis. If you cant afford 100mill in Shield Boosters, then dont call yourself a HAC pilot, cus you aint ready.
Ask the mighty Nez Perces, I managed to whupass his gank Zealot in my Blasteagle.
Eagle (especially with blasters)is better than you flamers give it credit for.

I believe Sorja he is saying he can tank a gank-Zealot. Gank setups tend not to have reps/boosters let alone hardeners so I can't imagine he would have too much trouble. As for keeping them in one place he uses the qualifier that he has a ceptor backup. Put an enemy ceptor into the equation and I think he should be alright tanking this lil extra damage ontop of the whoopass **** he's gettin from the Zealot. If he doesn't have ceptor backup and the enemy warps out, he has still claimed the AOE and won the fight. AND as he says, if you can't fit +100mils worth of mods on it, you shouldn't be flying one. I rate this setup pretty highly.
Saying that, I don't believe Denrace is playing to the ship's strengths. I fly my Eagle with 2x Sensor booster IIs and 3x multis with 4x damage mods in the bottom (I'm considering a cloak instead of one of the launchers). With this setup you can insta-pop TI frigs and ceptors (albeit not close up) and AFs die VERY quickly. I wouldn't go up against another HAS cos that's not what i'm setup for. If I were to do that i'd go get my Scorp... I believe the Eagle is a great, if not the best, small group/fleet ship smaller than a BS for ass rapeing support ships.
Edit:spelling --------------- Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in very large groups...
