After flying a thorax for months, i was looking into the enyo to see if it might be a good next step, and after reading this thread and doing some Quickfitting, im really wondering why anyone would ever switch to an enyo, cuz to me it looks like it cant take down cruisers. Ofcourse many will disagree and im probably wrong, but here's what i noticed about the setups in this thread:
The close range blaster enyo:
For this to work, you obviously have to get in close range, you'll need an AB/MWD, and ofcourse a warp scrambler. So you attack a cruiser, you mwd to him and once you are within 10km their NOS is activated, your cap will be gone very very fast, bam, you're dead.
So you want to NOS back with your 5th highslot? You'll still have to travel 4.5k to get into small nos range, and you're probably webbed by now. Lets say you still fly 200 m/s while webbed + MWD'ing, thats pretty fast for being webbed right? The cruiser does over 200 m/s without even touching his AB/MWD, so he'll just keep his distance and nos you to death. Since you dont have a med slot for a webber to slow him down, it seems to me there's absolutely nothing you can do.
The longer range railgun enyo:
IMO this seems to be the better setup, (allthough i really dont understand some of the setups with the rail+nos combo, doesnt make sense), but still it wont take down a cruiser. It seems to me this setup is cap intensive, too cap intensive. First of all, you'll need to stay at range so you need an AB/MWD, second you'll need a 20k warp disruptor which drains a lot of cap, and then ofcourse you need some railguns which drain some cap aswell, would be nice to have a cap booster, but ah.. only two mid slots.
Ow, and the dps is crappy, but that can be solved with javelin ammo, but there's a downside, you'll lose a lot of range on the rails and you'll lose 20% max speed? Tadaa, you're now slower than a cruiser, he only has to make it to 10km, turn on his webber + nos and you're done for.
So, was the enyo just not designed to take on a cruiser? Is it more of a fleet/gang ship? Is the stuff i wrote up there complete bullsh*t?
Just to make things clear, im not saying this is how the enyo actually performs, its a personal theory/observation, please enlighten me on how wrong i am about the enyo.
