gal/mim/amarr
425 mega = most dps
1400 tempy = highest burst dmg
apoc/geddon inbetween
you need to find yourself some friends so you can instapop bs before they can warp, bout 5 tempests does the job on unhardened bs.

Good luck outranging your oponent in a megabeam geddon which does more dps than a 425 megathron. All them heat sinks will kill your range :)

may be the highest dps but also is the worst hitter at the same time do to the high resistence in armor on amarr base weapons

I can hit stuff out past 200k for full damage with Cruise, only problem is you have to fit like 3 Sensor booster II to lock that far.
You could always use FOF cruise, but someone else would have to be shooting at you, which means locking you. And most folks don't run about with 3 sensor booster II on.

From the exclamation point, I assume you are new like me.
Can't speak for the others but a Caracal (Calderi cruiser) can fit 4 heavy missle launchers and a sensor booster in the 5 high slots. With minimal skills, you're missles will hit from 80-90k.
Use the medium and low slots for afterburners, overdrives, nanofibres, webbers... whatever you like best to get to that range as fast as possible becuase a Caracal is made of balsa wood.

Sensor booster fits in a mid slot, meaning you can fit 5 Heavy Launchers in your highs :)

alternative is the pocket sniper.
(I am assuming the other races have the same but havent looked into it as I'm only flying minnies at the moment)
But a nice surprise for people who dont pay attention to their targets can be a mini sniper like the munnin (minmatar HAC, cruiser sized ship) which gets +10% range per level.
Range wont be as extreme as the 200km examples but with HAC 5 and sharpshooter 5 a munnin armed with
720 t2 guns loaded with carbonized lead
mid : t2 tracking computer + sensor booster
can get a lock and optimal range of 82.8km
adding another sensor booster (lock range increase to 140km) and tracking enhancers (t2s giving optimal range x1.15 each) can increase this further of course.
There may be additional skills to increase optimal range but I am unaware of them (any help with this?)
