I'm laughing at the amount of pvp knowledge you pretend to have, given that your alliance claims to be neutral to all. Does all of your knowledge come from the forums? Not flaming, just wondering. From my experience ISS has no idea what the hell it is doing when it comes to pvp. Since you are so interested in every pvp topic, why not join a corp or alliance that... um... pvps?

It would be right to laugh at his post claiming the Ares is a crap combat ship (read: its cheap, so its worthwhile), but the fact that the OP is putting 10s of millions of ISK worth of items on a 5m ship...  -- Proud member of the [23].

For what it's worth, the setup seems ok to me. I'd guess you need to pick your fights carefully (who doesn't) as you're hoping for a 'slow' target that you can catch, or one that comes in range spoiling for 'easy' pickings.
If you can get them in range and hold them there then they'd be in for a tough time.
If you can afford to lose the kit you put on it, then no reason on earth why you shouldn't use it, although there's an argument that it might be better used on another ship. Fill your boots though.

Ares is a highly questionable interceptor due to 2 med slots and none of the advantages of the crusader (ie, 4 turrets w/damage bonus).
Problem with this config is that its ludicrously short ranged and doesn't have any way to close the distance - heck, a hauler can probably warp out before you get to it! Oh, and you have a faction webber on it. I'd recommend you build the ship around 75mm rails and a MWD+scrambler in mid. I really need to buy one to play with...

lol biggest mistake of my life was doing that. I found one in a can once when I first started.
Fitted it to my kestral and then got killed in a war. Wondered what they meant when the smacktalk in local went along the lines of "hmm got expensive tastes there mate hahaha". Wasnt until I saw a WTS order for an amazing price that I actually banged my head into a wall. I had no idea I was carrying such an expensive item.

If you use blasters/rockets you are seriously gimping your range, to the point where you cant hold a potential target for long enough.
Replace the electron blasters with 75mm II or 125mm II if you can fit them, and possibly standard launchers too. To get the above on, maybe replace the cap relay with a MAPC.
I tried a similar setup after watching Mr DrunkenOne's jagerbomb videos, and it is pretty cool to fly. I lost it in the first fight, but that was more my bad decision to engage at all than the ship being poor. I tried to take on 2 ceptors, a harpy and a rupture - silly james!
Also just get a standard 10km web. Look at what the above posters have said, and realise that if you fly an Ares - your targets will come to you in search of an easy kill! You dont want to make this ship too expensive, because once you are in a fight there is often NO way you are getting out again, other than winning.
Other than the above, enjoy. Its nice when people try and take "crap" ships and make them good. it often works! -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Latest Video: *NEW* Carnage! |

HI:1 small nos, 1 75mm gatling rail 2, 2 rockets launchers 2's
Mid: 1mw MWD (cold jet thingy), webber
Low: MAPC, cap relay, 200 mm plate, small armour rep 2
orbit at 1500, runs your tank for long enough until the other ceptor dies.
Oh and you'll always get a fight, people just love to engage an ares.

Same here. Ok, the Ares might not be an uber ship, but it isn't completely worthless. It's still an interceptor. It's still fast. it's still got the ability to do half-decent damage. Just because it isn't uber, doesn't mean it's ****.
In regards to that setup, drop the Domi web. You need to get within 10km anyway, so might as well save yourself a lot of money and just buy a fleeting webber

I always see this reaction from folks that dont know 5cent of PvP. I see ALOT of people use this cheap bang for the buck ship in battles and vidoes ALL the time :/ My Sig:

i am interested because its what i do i am in ISS because i have been in the same corp since the week after i joined (it changed names once, but its the same guys) and i know and like them
and just out of interest, do you know what a reputation as a carebear alliance gets you? this is my 3rd war in as many weeks --

And your point is? Instead of forcing everyone into the same ship, why not just experiment with "less good" ships and get some diversity into the battlefield. The Ares is worth it's cost as an Interceptor, it just isn't as effective as the Taranis.

I'm assuming from some of these setups that the ship's thermal missile bonus also applies to rockets?
I thought it did but someone in-game told me it only applies to light missiles. Can someone clarify pwease?

I know that the kinetic bonus on the Crow applies to rockets as well, so I am pretty sure the same is true for ares.

The Ares has got plenty of potential, and despite flying a taranis myself i did take a long hard look at the ares.
The biggest advantage it has is being a gallante ship that actually has some missiles. This means that you can set whatever speed/orbit range you need to avoid dying horribly and still hit the other guy.
I personally wouldn't go with an electron/rocket outfit tho, since im fairly paranoid about smarties/web, so 125mm's and lights would be my preferance. Don't let anyones negative view of the ares stop you. Make it rock , then hunt them down

There's a reason the Ares is so cheap, and it's NOT production costs.
Oh, and MWD is highly recommendable for all interceptors. --
