I agree with the bald Amarrian.
The 'Phoon is my baby. I love it. Fastest T1 battleship, stock.

*helping the thread starter to increase the views
...wow another phoon thread, how exciting...
The typhoon is outclassed by the tempest in any way, except some minor ship stats, like cpu, speed, agility etc.
Maybe you could just accept sheŠs the small short range brother of the tempest (while the tempest can easily go short and long range).
So yes, the typhoon hasnŠt an own speciality, but so what.... SheŠs is still cheaper than a tempest and needs less gunnery skills (assuming long range projectiles need high skills to compete with other turrets).
A bs going 500m/s with a 100mn ab t2 is cool and I would fly her just for that and for her look: a gigantic trash can in space. *lol

the phoon needs 2 changes:
1.) it has to get cheaper by about 10 mill
2.) the 10% optimal bonus has to be changed to something else
once this is done we can talk about the phoon again, tho i think these 2 changes will make a lot of differnce in useability while not upseting any balance issues

The optimal bonus is what makes the 'Phoon good. Makes a great sniper. 1400s and Cruise missiles. Combine that with the speed, and you can just kite most other BSes.

PvP: do you snipe with a phoon in pvp? most players arent that stupid that they would get kited by a phoon sitting 150 km from them and i doubt they'll also wait for the cruise missiles to hit them. (i have yet to see a sniper phoon in pvp)
NPC: sniping NPC's while perhaps effective is only doable in 0.0 (if you do missions its mostly deadspace where you'd have troubles getting to sniping range) and a pain in the ass to collect the loot, and i am sure an ac setup with cruise/sieges would be more effective
i see phoons occasionally, but nearly all of them have a mix of ac's/nos/smartbombs
and optimal is useless for ac's
i dare say that 90% of those who use phoons dont snipe with it.
I admit that my personal experience with phoons is limited, but if i want to snipe as minmatar i use a tempest.

Phoon is not bad it's just the same as if it had no bonusuis at all. No one would notice any change if one day the bonuses disapeared
One little thing that's very usefull as i have stated over and over is change optimat to acuracy folloff. that way ac phoon will have a 30km range and that's not bad. X more turrets would realy rock.

I am certain that there is a good set up there someplace for the phoon. I just have to go out and find one. At one time I was ready to train up minmatar BS's just so I could fly a phoon and find a consitantly killing set up.
I'm going to do it eventually, maybe not on this account, but eventually.

Use mine for pirate bait. Rename in Covetor, sit in a belt and wait. Usually greeted by a tackler and a HAC, or a Thorax.
Highs: 3X NOS, 1 Energy Dest, Smarty, 3X light missles.
Meds: Various stuff.
Lows: Tank stuff.
Usually they try to fly under my guns, which I don't have. Its then a contest to see if they notice their cap dissapear, before they can break away. I'll fire off a missle or two, and save the smart bombs,as it alerts them too quick their facing a short range set up. Tacklers are drained instantly. Cruisers also fall quickly. Send in the drones.
Its fun watching them swoop on a presumed mining battleship, and then frantically try and get away.

Close range Nos Phoon is no laughing matter but when I hear some players are using it to snipe Whhhaaatt? Me think you go the wrong ship unless all you want is blowing up noobships (what else can 1 slavo from 4 of the lowest dps gun can do). Then, indeed it is the right ship, you will look like a turd doing sh...ty things to newbs
The phoon could really use a better ship bonus, based on its flexibility has a close range plateform
Most definetly, CCP needs to nerf its optimal bonus |

There has got to be some sort of way to make use of that super death ray cannon glued to it's side.
