i know they are collectors items but what are peoples Views on factionĘs ships performance? I just bought a Vigilant and have both a Worm and Succubus and enjoy flying all of them. so set ups and thoughts would be nice for any faction ships

I really enjoy some of the faction ships. The daredevil is great fun and has real value as a tackler.
I don't rate the Vigilant at all though. And the Nightmare seems a great BS. I'd like one of those.

Faction frigs are toys to collect because you can get aw way better tech II ships for cheap. Same goes for cruiser but the faction cruisers are still nice and fun to fly and not everyone has the skills for HACs/recons.
Faction BS are really special because they are better then the normal t1 BS. I got a machariel myself and it's one fantastic ship. 600m/sec with just an afterburner and loads of firepower/tracking.

I've got a succubus, but I dont really see the point of using it. Daredevil is one mean peace of machinery, good tackler and good damage output. Not as good as say a crow, but it has a lot more style and looks evil. Vigilant is a good ship for pve, it's got everyhting the thorax has and one more mid-slot. Also, it is black.

Ive killed vigilants using thorax's. I've killed a worm using a tristan. I've killed succubus's using punishers. Theyre collectors items, there's ships that do their job much better for cheaper. ---------------------------------------- Sheer Awesomeness / Rank 1 / SP: 68542 of 256000 |http://myeve.eve-online.com/bitm |

Originally by: Loftum Totarris Ive killed vigilants using thorax's. I've killed a worm using a tristan. I've killed succubus's using punishers. Theyre collectors items, there's ships that do their job much better for cheaper.
And i killed machariel in domi and i killed domi in taranis so what's your point? Taranis > Domi, domi > machariel? Then i need to pop taranis in punisher and then t1 frig owns you all?
In the end there is alot about skills, setups, tactic... Just posting random 1arT3hWinPwnSomeNoobs doesn't make ship useless u know.
I use no guns... i smack to death. |

This is an interesting post. Would anyone have a good idea on how to setup a succubus for PvP?

I own quite a few faction ships, and although some are show boats, others do give quite the advantage in combat.. I would rate the following as worth trying:
* DareDevil * Vigilant * Gila * Vindicator
Others that Ive tried have left me fairly unimpressed. They'll stay in my collection, but will never likely see any real combat. The 4 listed above are very good ships.

I have the bhalagoorn or whatever (spelling bee of the year here) - I am looking forward to getting the balls to put her in PvP as I personally think it was designed for nothing else..

Vigilant is a terrific cruiser, and definitely worth fielding in pvp. It falls nicely in terms of performance between the thorax and deimos...and since it goes for less than half the price of a deimos, I figure it's priced just fine for regular use.
Fit it much like a thorax...but be creative with your midslots. Depending on your target, you may not need a webber, which leaves you 2 midslots for electronic warfare of some kind. (MWD and scrambler are more or less standard.)

I have owned:
Frigates: Succubus, Worm, Comet, Cruor, Hookbill, Firetail, Daredevil.
Cruisers: Gila, Ashimu, Phantasm, Vigilant, Cynabal, Carcal Navy Issue.
Battleships: Vindicator, Caldari Navy Raven, Nightmare, Machariel.
I own Now:
Frigates: Comet/ I just love the way she looks. Best looking ship frigate in game in my opinion. (a toy) Cruisers: Vigilant/ I love how she tanks, and I do not have drone skills (Kills other cruiser peretty easy in PVP) Cynabal/ I can tank forever in her and killed many a player Battlecruisers and Cruisers. I use all faction setup+faction ammo with 600mm guns. She is fastest cruiser in game and with my implants she is something sick in her speed. Battleships: Machariel/ with the right setup you can pretty much tank any L4 (never taken to PVP) Caldari navy raven, my most expensive ship, all faction setup and a killer. (Never taken to PVP)

I bought my Gila for several reason: > I Like flying cruisers, yet dont have the skills for a HAC yet. Faction frigates/cruisers arent to hard on the skill requirements to get into; > It's a missile boat, unlike the Caldari Battlecruiser, the other step up the ladder towards Battleships. > As I dont want to fly a Battleship yet with my number of SP's, my cruiser is able to do level 3 missions, something I doubt my Caracal can; > In other MMORPG's I also liked to customise my character a bit to stand out a little. With no custom paint jobs on ships, the faction ships give you some variety.

Yeah, I was really shocked when I saw the Mach's stats for the first time. 190m/s base is increadibly fast for a heavy battleship, faster than most cruisers.
