I'm not quite sure what you're saying... If you're saying the 800 plate one is better at catching kiters you would be right.. You know.. it goes faster?
Still not ideal in a cruiser vs cruiser brawl. the 1600 one would roll over it.

Whitehound let me put this bluntly. You don't understand game mechanics. Please stop posting. |

No, they both are pretty much useless for solo PvP, but you could use the 800 to kill the 1600.
Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |

Sorry about that. Whitehound does occasionally make some sensible posts, but most of the time they are total drivel. |

Could you please elaborate a bit on why the 1600 one would beat the 800 one? I tried running the numbers, and in a brawl against each other both seem to come down to very similar stats for velocity, range, damage, EHP, align time, tracking, cap stability and signature. What's the factor that benefits the 1600 one that much?
Or did your comment mostly focus on the advantage of AB vs. missile ships? If so, I misinterpreted your comment, and my question is moot. |

Not meaning to be rude, but the main factor that plays a role here is stupidity.
Some actually brawl with 0km distance in between not caring for any of the other factors. The 1600mm-plated and fitted with Electron Blasters will do more DPS, has got better tracking to help with the DPS and also has got a bit more eHP. So when both pilots come together at 0km should the 1600 win over the 800.
The fitting works for 1v1 within the corp or perhaps for high-sec duelling and when you can talk the other pilot into a 0km-distance brawl...

Yes mate, try this;
5 x Heavy Electron II w/FedNavy AM
Experimental 10mn AB
Warp Scrambler II
Stasis Webifier II
Medium Cap Booster II w/Navy 400's
800mm RRT Plate
2 x EANM II
MAR II
MAAR w/paste
5 x Hammerhead II
Medium Ancillary Current Router I
2 x Medium Trimark
With my skills I get 438 dps and that's without damage mods. Lovely ship to fly and can take on multiple opponents.
Hope this is of use. :-)

Tank, Once you are in a brawl with those ships the large difference in tank will be the difference maker.
Yes the 800 one has slightly more dps and range but the difference isn't large enough to offset the large difference in tank.
I'm not saying the 1600 fit is all around better, its just better once you initiate a brawl, its worse before that.

The 1600 rax goes 1666m/s cold with the MWD. The 800 goes 1767 m/s cold with the MWD. If you want to trade 1/3 of your tank for 100m/s speed gain be my guest. If you don't believe that the 1600 plated version will win you can test it with me on the test server. |

The 1600 deals more DPS than the 800.
The 800 uses Heavy Ion Blaster IIs with one mag stabs. This is 319 DPS with Antimatter.
The 1600 uses Heavy Electron Blaster IIs with two mag stabs. This is 359 DPS with Antimatter.

Ok, let me be more specific here:
I plugged both "Standard Dual Prop" and "I WANT TO GO FAST" into EFT and both have 29k EHP, with the 800 version coming out slightly ahead by 300 EHP. Was one of the fits 'wrong' or where's the '1/3 difference in EHP' coming from? |

In a 1v1 will the 1600 be faster.
The 800 uses two 55% webs, which will slow down the 1600 with AB to 142 m/s.
The 1600 uses a single 60% web, which will slow down the 800 without AB to 110 m/s.
How can you guys actually post and argue about fittings and not turn red? I have taken a longer look at these fittings than you and you want to judge mine and do not even know what your own fittings are capable of.

Ohh lol yea i didn't notice that the 800 plate one has two eanms, i didn't make that fit because i'm lazy. Stole it from Trouser.
1600 plate one will still win.
And white, i'm fairly certain that me and apples have spent more time looking at EFT and actually TESTING what we make in eft than you will in another ten years.
Theory is fine. Theory without expirience is useless.
I thought i knew a lot about pvp back when i lived in high sec because i had read a lot and EFT'd a lot... I was very very wrong.. i knew nothing.

I still do not care for your PvP experience. Use killmails to show it, but stop using me as your crutch when you think I am bad. What we want to see are good fittings and good reasoning. Being honest about where your fittings are from is good, but does not help your case. Talk less nonsense, think before you post and you will not have to make excuses for yourself.

Armor buffer is most definitely not out of the picture. It certainly does not have the long term survivability that an active fit would have -- you can't go on a 10-fight spree without docking -- but you can certainly fight once or maybe twice in between docking. Since this is lowsec, and thus empire space, docking is a thing you can do, so buffer tanking is okay.
Since the discussion is way to far in for the Thorax for me to jump in, I'll just offer up an Omen fit. I'm not sure how well it'd do against the rats, but it's definitely fun to fly in PvP.

Good luck! 
Ed: You can do almost exactly the same thing with a Thorax, and you have +10m3 drone bay and +1 mid slot (for a web or TP or something). Go hunting for cocky frigates and one-shot them (Slicers!).
