I have large weapons specializations in both missiles and projectiles. Shield and armor related skills equally maxed out. Which ones would people who actually fly dreads recommend, Minmatar or Caldari? I am thinking more about the ability to sustain incoming damage for prolonged periods of time so my first guess is an armor tanked Naglfar.
Asking for the experienced dread pilots comments. I can theorize till I'm blue in the face but some "real" life experiences.
Thanks in advance!

Naglfar is the better looking one 
(do crystal implants work on capital repairers?)

caldari one hands down/ faction amps are cheap. 37.5% boost ones are 70mils only and add two of them making shield tanking more efficent, more hp per cycle, and more hp per sec. thus better on all points

that is correct, u dont want to mess around with a shiel tank when u cant run it for ever, and we all know how fleet fights affect module activation, go for somthing that can run forever, = no worries,

Exactly. Phoenix in a fleet engagement: Enables shielbooster but cannot disable reenable it. BOOM A capital repper you just keep running and even if you lag out there is a chance that your side is the one that is still there after the lagfest is over.
Maybe the new cluster holds what they promise though but i wouldn't bet on it yet.

But it's exactly like that. In a current lagbattle a phoenix is doomed. It will either run the booster and cannot deactivate and run out of cap or it will deactivate and cannot reactivate the booster. Sure ther is the cap relay shield boost relay setup but that is fixed with next patch so you cannot rely on that one either.

Point of dreads = destroying PoSes
Naglfar = best DPS vs PoSes
hence, Naglfar = Best Dread.

phoenix in a fleet battle is useless since it hits BS for less then a normal torp

Not really
Dreads are about tanking a POS, and Naglfar is worst tanker

There are ways to influence that 
(The lagmonster -> armor tanking thing still stands though.)

Edited by: Gian Bal on 15/02/2006 18:45:29 therefore you can spend enough isk on the phoenix, and if it was enough money, maybe the booster runs forever 
but to be honest i don't know. i would go for a phoenix just because of the simple reason that u have to train 2 different capital weapon types on naglfar, and capital skills are usually a pain to train on 5, what you deffinately would like to have after some time, just because it dishes out more dmg on lvl 5.
then again i would go for a moros instead of both of theese. the moros is the ugliest one, but with blasters the one that has the smallest trouble to hit moving bs 'n stuff like that.
for phoenix or naglfar i would go for phoemix anyways. but just my 2 cent

tho i don't think dreads do more dmg then a BS outside of siege mode ;) (and in siege mode even blasters can't hit a moving BS, add to that the crap range, voila)

fortunatly, citadel torps will only add another 20 days of training on - Torpedos is only Rank 4 and the general training time for a level 5 is 5 days * rank, +- a bit for good/bad attribs. And then another 7 days to get Citadel torps to 5.

agreed. if you have your shield booster on manual, 10 seconds of lag/computer lockup/whatever can kill you, while an armour rep will just run and run and run

i tested my raven vs a moros quite some days ago on sisi, and believe me or not, the guy wrecks havoc on it at above 40km with its blasters with about 9k dmg. of course he used a painter, had maybe good skills and he missed alot... but after 9k damage, my shields are gone anyways. the guy was in siege mode, but out of webbing range. i have no idea what it can do while using a web with closerange ammo, but theese 9k really impressed me.

I've owned a phoenix. It needs support to make the citadel torps work well on a medium or small POS. Otherwise they suffer a damage reduction due to the sig radius. And then it has that crappy kinetic missile bonus on top of that which all POS but one has a damage resist against. Nagalfar has all the tanking it would need to take on a POS and the autocannons to hit hard. Shame it has to use citadel torps though.

those citaldel torps are the reason it gets the most damage vs a pos :). also, it's not shafted by a racial damage bonus - rof 4tw
