I don't know, my CNR, at all V without implants is 1177 DPS, including drones. The drones have sufficient tracking to murder frigs (unless they spwan on top if you) and anything cruiser and up dies in a fire to the new cruises.
The CNR is one of the few boats which can actually get the paper DPS out. |

I dont know, but after initial enthusiasm my feeling about cruise missile ships is back to "please npc, dont pulse mwd while Im shooting at you...****...please npc, dont pulse rep...****... dont shoot defender..."

I know what you mean and it may just be the fact I also have missile implants, but I just dont find it a material issue. What I tend to use the drones for is mopping up those rare rats that the cruises dont insta-pop and just keep the cruises walking up the locked target chain whilst the drones catch up on any stagglers (and there /really/ aren't many).
I use a similar pattern with the phoon when I use that boat, only the drones rip through even quicker due to the extra number of them and more DDAs.
@ExcalibursTemplar: If you're excited by the CNR, look at a properly fitted TFI, that thing is just hilarious. Without implants, 1418dps out to 39+12 (on the gardes), or 1363DPS out to lock range (bouncers), most of it applied. Add implants and you're talking silly numbers. And thats not even a deadspace fit, T2, some faction only. |

@Lugalzagezi666
You're missing (or I'm being unclear) my point - you simply DONT shoot missiles at the frigs, use gardes and omnis and eat them up. |

I find ticks are limited by a lack of rats - plus I usually dual box so....hrm, skewed.
Did the assault in 21 minutes last night, drunk to boot and my alts skills are....not 'mission oriented' 
Would have been faster, but wine made me forget to lift longer range drones. |

The two omnis I can tack onto my CNR actually make it less of a gap with the phoon, strictly on frigs (the bore in hard and fast so garde range is a non issue), than you'd think. The phoon pulls away on bigger targets.

I use sentries on mine, they work well 199dps isn't to be sniffed at on small targets)
I tend to use them as mop up tools, for stuff that doesn't die in one hit or just give them their own thing to shoot. It's no different for me compared to the phoon (in principle) because the phoon I use is missile based too. |

I believe from a math post that quite of lot of that DPS actually is applied. Far more than one might expect if you use a three slot tank. |

I've not ratified it, but the poster knows his stuff.
/shrug. YMMV, I use different boats for different missions/factions - not married to any one hull. |

Only because he used gardes. Try it with bouncers. It reaches right out to lock range, no drama.
The difference between bouncers and gardes is 50dps at my skills. |

Quite agree, but wardens/bouncers/curators are interchangable - my point was the DPS only drops because of the limited garde range - the boat is consistent, replicable DPS out to sentry range - not something which can be said for non-missile hulls.
Point is, for it's cost, it's brilliant. Of course, if you have the skills that thing needs to work...you're likely in a better hull, if you're looking general purpose. If you want a specialized hull for given mission groups - she's borderline unbeatable. |

Do the The AssaultGäó, full clear in <15 minutes in that and I'll be impressed.
That being said, I'm being an ass because there's always an exception to prove the rule. |
