Soyemia	Posted - 2006.02.16 14:51:00 - [1] Any good?
Psycarne	Posted - 2006.02.16 15:33:00 - [2] Yes. ------------- Order of the Wombles: Recycling those untidy modules on your ship.
Lanfear's Bane	Posted - 2006.02.16 16:30:00 - [3] Originally by: Psycarne Yes. I concur. Lanfear's Bane. ___ {o.O} \|)_(\| -"-"- YA RLY
Fade Routha	Posted - 2006.02.16 22:13:00 - [4] Well can't fly any minmatar ships, but I know a few that can. Anyway quote from a cyclone pirate, "MMmmm Battleship". Quickly followed by him looting the bs's can. So yeah I would say they can be used very effectively. Again depends on the pilot. "I don't like change, it's differnt and it's not the same."
Slink Grinsdikild	Posted - 2006.02.16 22:59:00 - [5] I hate Battlecruisers because they are an inbetween ship class. Not fast enough to avoid Battleship turrets from hitting you, not a strong enough tank to take sustained Battleship fire even from NPC'ers. Can't go wrong with a Rupture in my experience. Its pricetag is quite small compared to a Cyclone too. .___. {-,-} /)__) -"-"- Inactive as of 11-02-06. Still Whorum Foring though.
Kjewla	Posted - 2006.02.16 23:52:00 - [6] Originally by: Soyemia Any good? In my opinion no... to slow and the rupture does the job just as good
Oventoasted	Posted - 2006.02.17 00:29:00 - [7] runs in Ferox ROXZ! runs off o and minmatars smell!.... - - - MMM MMM toasted
Copine Callmeknau	Posted - 2006.02.17 00:39:00 - [8] Cyclone is a great ship, it hits smaller class vessels much easier than a BS does, and has a great tank. I solo pirate in it, and I rat 0.0 with it, with my crap skills (1.4M SP) the tank holds steady with no boosting at about 25% vs. triple Angel Malakim (1.4M bounty BS) spawns. It can beat any cruiser/BC with ease, though you may get a little trouble from a Maller or a Proph. ------- With five million sheep in this army I seem to be the only one fit to command

Copine Callmeknau	Posted - 2006.02.17 02:36:00 - [10] For Angels: 5x 425mm (Fusion M) 3x Malkuth Heavy Launchers (Havoc) Named AB Large Named Extender Explo shield hardener Kinet shield hardener Large shield booster II 3x Named PDU Named Gyrostabiliser/Gyrostabiliser II 4x Vespa/Valkyrie Takes ages to kill twin Saints, but that's because of my crappy skills and the swarm starts respawning before I can kill them (sucked about 3000 Fusion M rounds and 400-500 Havoc Heavy missiles to kill a 2x Saint, 3x Breaker swarm) Obviously fit 425mm II with Barrage M if you have T2 guns ------- With five million sheep in this army I seem to be the only one fit to command
branodn lee	Posted - 2006.02.17 10:13:00 - [11] yes with the right setup its yarring great. ive taken out an apoc and lower with it even had 2-3v me and won so yes its a good ship.
Pesadel0	Posted - 2006.02.17 11:14:00 - [12] Originally by: Kjewla Originally by: Soyemia Any good? In my opinion no... to slow and the rupture does the job just as good I agree the cyclone,isnt the best for solo piracy ,the rupture is better.

Chode Rizoum	Posted - 2006.02.17 12:16:00 - [14] 5 med slots seems good to me
Adago Vilon	Posted - 2006.02.17 12:38:00 - [15] A mwd, nos, AC cyclone engaged me in my Muninn the other day and gave me a good but brief fight before they warped out (I was fitted for NPCing with light shield tank). Have to say I was uncomfortable but I guess they munched all their cap on the approach and my 5 720's, 2 assault launchers and drones were ripping into it pretty hard. Still, considering the potential replacement costs compared to HACs it's not a bad ship. Which is probably why this pirate had accumulated a reasonable bounty.
Xen0phobiak	Posted - 2006.02.17 14:34:00 - [16] I'm fond of a 5 autocannon, 3 med nos setup mwd, large booster, boostamp, web, scram 3x gyro 1x rcu. Did some testing and it works a treat

Did some testing and it works a treat How long does the tank last, assuming you've hit the mwd for a couple of cycles? (including NOSing)
Xen0phobiak	Posted - 2006.02.17 17:42:00 - [18] with the nos, it sustains long enough for me to kill another bc. Without the nos, you've got around a minute. I've yet to train the skill that saves cap per boost, but have max cap skills. Its not feasable to use Hail M ammo in this setup.
UltraDragon	Posted - 2006.02.17 17:54:00 - [19] Cyclone 4tw, 5x 425 autocannon 3x medium nos 1x 10mn ab t2 1x disruptor 3x ecm racials/multispectral 1x medium rep t2 3x gyrostab owns bs's easy.
Matrices Reborn	Posted - 2006.02.17 22:22:00 - [20] Anyone considered using 5xNos and 3xHeavies? Or 5xNos and 3xAC? I thought it would be an ingenious setup but I am concerned I will drain all the guy's cap, and he has non-cap weapons, so he kills me because on top of him still hitting me I can't steal his cap to support my tank. Also, thoughts on damage control? If I have 0% EM shield resist, does adding DCII for 12.5% resist do enough to justify using it over some other module?

Did some testing and it works a treat I use the same for pirating, (albeit with a gyrostab instead of an RCU). Works very well, takes out BC's and cruisers with ease ------- With five million sheep in this army I seem to be the only one fit to command

Its pricetag is quite small compared to a Cyclone too. Seriously fella, no smack, your REALLY wrong. A caracal can tank multiple npc bs's, if you think a ferox cant your wrong. The cyclone tanks just as good. As for solo pvping, not to sure about that due to it only hitting really good at close range imo. Vini, vidi, vamoosi
deathfighter	Posted - 2006.02.26 21:34:00 - [24] A shield tanking cyclone can tank better than a shiled tanking tempest (not forever) smaller sig radius, faster same mid slot configuration. At lvl4 bc u have 30% shiled boost witch is the same as 1 boost amplifier. the rest is the same as tempest. 5 220 II + 3 nos ab/mwd large booster II, scrambler, 2xinvulenrability fileds. 2 gyroII, 2 rcu II 4 med drones. I have easily killed hacs with this setup and can tank very very well witch will be better once i train bc lvl5. i actually prefer it over my munin (hac lvl5 here) This setup is very nice for a variety of targets. apart a nos bs with 3 or more heavy noses anything can go down.

Furion35	Posted - 2006.02.27 02:39:00 - [25] Originally by: Capt 69 A caracal can tank multiple npc bs's
Pesadel0	Posted - 2006.02.27 10:04:00 - [26] Originally by: Furion35 Originally by: Capt 69 A caracal can tank multiple npc bs's He is rigth me and my mates go out in cruisers (usually we are two) killing BS Spawns with ease,the only problem is when someone from the alliance shows up :)
Matrices Reborn	Posted - 2006.02.27 17:01:00 - [27] Caracal cannot "tank" any BSes, what it can do is stay out of the range of NPC BSes and sit there for a long time to kill them.
