Originally by: Audri Fisher I use them to bait intercepters into doing something stupid like getting withen 20km of me. 7 75mm tech II rails, 3 tracking comps, small shield extender tech II, damage control unit. with throrium ammo you completely own the space withen 20km of you. If they want to use tracking disrupters, better bring faction ones, and bring multiple. The trick is to get them to come to you, if you use 75mm instead of 125 mm you kill them just fast enough that they die before you do, but it's close enough that they simply don't run away.
P.S. after Kali with max skills, you will be able to get a certain dessy hull to track at almost 1 rad per second, and have a 20km effective range.
An experienced taranis pilot will kill you before you have a chance to lock him.
Destroyers are not worth it, get a tier 3 frig or train for interceptors.

you want the power of a cruiser but the cost and manuverability of a frig/destroyer use a stabber :-)

I love my Cormorant, but it's definately not for every situation. It's great for anti-frigate work, 3 150mm Compressed coils, 2 125mm compressed, 1 small nos, a small shield booster, cold-gas ABs, and, most importantly.....a named webifier doing 87% reduction.
This allows me to kill frigates with a single broadside all the way up to 36km, and when they close within 10, webify them and kill them just as fast.
However, it's not very good for killing anything but frigates or other tin cans, but it makes an excellent escort for bigger ships with poor anti-frigate guns.
So, depending upon your situation, yes and no.

I can get 210 dps (barrage S) and a 38-48% chance to jam a cruiser with my Thrasher. 285 dps if I use Hail S.
They do a lot of damage, and are fun to fly. You really need the skills to fly it properly though, I wouldn't reccomend it for a new player.

What I'd like to see is a proper T2 Destroyer, more like an 'Assault Destroyer', if you like, rather than this 'Interdictor' malarkey.
I'd like a ship that is to the Catalyst what the Enyo is to the Incursus, if that makes sense. |

A single destroyer isn't so hot, but if you're working in a gang of two or more destroyers, your capability goes up exponentially. You can run cheap multi-destroyer ops with low-SP players, and be confident of taking out most setups short of a good battlecruiser.
Basically, I'd recommend it if you're going to be working with multiple low-SP individuals. Otherwise, you're better off piloting a web/scram frig with your BC friends. ----------------- [ The Coreli Corporation Mainframe ]

I do mostly PVE missions and rat hunting. I just bought a Caracal recently as and upgrade to my Coromont. I tell you the truth, the Coromont can can kill the pirates and run the missions faster taking less damage by far than my Caracal "upgrade". To be fair, im only lvl 2-3 in all the missle skils and have only 3 in cruiser so if that was upgraded who knows.

Give me a 10M isk gang with 5 Cormorants, 13 sensor damps, 2 tracking disrupts and 3-5pts of scrambling at 20km any day.
I hope you brought FoFs.

Destroyers FTW.
I've killed many ships in Destroyers. Pick your targets. They are for RAIDING. And they do it well. Especially in groups. One of my corp mates has killed ****loads of ships in his cormorant.

They are an extremely nice balnce of isk, firepower and pilot ratio. fitted with nice guns, there firepower is incredible and they hardley miss.
The biggest gripe people have about them is survivabilty. Well, it doesn't take to many of them to put up incredible dps, esp with high skills, I have killed good cruiser pilots with a gang of 5 corms before the cruiser finished locking and unloading his drones. Cormorats esp with there optimum range bonus and spike ammo are mini tempest against frig hulls. Sit at a gate and pop inties as they come in, or better yet, seriously screw up a cepter gangs day by usieng the old warp in 2 volleys outta there tactic. if you screw up, so what? a lot cheaper to replace than a megathron.

Destroyers are fun but you have to move on to make isk from NPCing.
Start the destroyer skill and train up for Interdictor. (it will take a long time but worth it) I think it will be very interesting. Just got a great deal on a Sabre, faster than a Stiletto, just a tad slower than a Claw, but with much greater options.
I'm saving up for Interdictor skill, DAMN expensive though!
