Working my way up to my first battlecruiser, any recommendations? Was thinking about the Hurricane but heard that they changed the stats on it so it's not as good as it used to be? Primary use would be mission running (security) and PvE with PvP to follow.
Feel free to suggest good fits too, every bit helps!
Thanks!

How are your fitting skills? I'd tend to prefer something like this:
[Hurricane, L3s] Dark Blood Power Diagnostic System Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II
Experimental 10MN Afterburner I Large F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Explosive Deflection Field II
720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 720mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion M [empty high slot]
Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I
It would be totally fair to drop the third gyro and downgrade the faction PDU to two T2 PDUs; that would also let you upgrade to a T2 extender.
Otherwise there are plenty of viable 425 fits as well. Like this:
[Hurricane, L3s 425] Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II
Experimental 10MN Afterburner I Large Shield Extender II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Explosive Deflection Field II
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M [empty high slot]
Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I Medium Core Defense Field Purger I
Higher paper DPS, awful range. Much easier to fit though.
If you happen to have better missile skills, the Cyclone is probably the way to go. Consider something like this:
[Cyclone, L3s] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Gyrostabilizer II Co-Processor II
Large Shield Booster II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II EM Ward Field II Experimental 10MN Afterburner I Large Peroxide Capacitor Power Cell
220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M 220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet Fusion M Heavy Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Heavy Missile Heavy Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Heavy Missile
Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst I Medium Warhead Rigor Catalyst I Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell I
Damage is comparatively anemic, but it has pretty solid application. Which helps. |

769 DPS at 1.5km (in-the-face distance) including drones, repair rate is 138 eHP/s (179 eHP/s overheat).
With Repl. Fleet Phased Plasma M and Optimal Range Script does it go out to 21km with 698 DPS, which at the falloff still gives 388 DPS. Barrage M takes the falloff to 32km with a reduced damage of 326 DPS. Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |

Tornadoes are great too for sniping. Pretty high alpha with a rack of 1400s. Although it requires you to train large guns so save that gem for later. |

try to read the OP before giving out fits.
New player won't be anywhere near to any of those fits plus they wanted something for pve first. |

relative but: is the fit good if it has little relevance to the person requesting it :D?
Also I don't consider your fit good for almost anything. Giant explosive damage weakness and the AAR is not very effective apart from very rare occasions. |

Minmitar have 1 (perhaps 2) good BC's Minny got hit with a huge nerf after the TE changes. Best minny ships these days are the BS line. Phoon / Navy phoon / TFI / Mach
However for battlecruisers:
1. AC tornado. Great for PvE and amazing for PvP

Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I Large F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Large F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction Warp Disruptor II

Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
2. Hurricane FLEET ISSUE: Projection is ****, but its still an ok boat. It deals with light tackle much more easily than the nado. However the nado has speed / DPS / Projection
[NEW Hurricane Fleet Issue, New Setup 1] Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Power Diagnostic System II

This is all good info, some I can use now, some which will help me plan things out as I move ahead. No bad answers, and I thank you all for sharing your ideas!

I'm intrigued, but would the Tornado be overkill for simple mission running? I do like the aspect of having a ship I can segue into PvP with down the road... will definitely look into this...

The nado is not overkill ofr mission running. If you are really serious about mission running, then you will eventually get a Mach, and blitz missions for maximum isk making potential. |

At low SP you should just let your decision on whether to go turrets or missiles determine which BC you use. |
