First off, this isnt a whine, *****, or an omgfnerf/boost/whatever post.
Im getting ready to make the move from frig to cruisers, I fly amarr ships. I'm wondering, is it worth buying an omen, or should I just save that bit longer and hop straight into a maller?
Ive seen various posts about the 2 ships, some saying the omens a pile o' crap, the others saying its a decent ship. Having never flown either of the ships yet, I don't know what to make of it.
The ship will be predominantly used for pvp, so I gotta take that into consideration. Of course i will be running misions on the side.
So yea, to sum up, is the omen a decent starting cruiser, and can it, when etup correctly, hold its own in small scale pvp, or should i just forget the omen, save longer nd go traight for a maller? Thanks

true, however you can set the maller up pretty well for pvp - and i see more mallers than omens. Not saying the omen isnt good - however maller can have 7k armor, and still kick ass. Im not sure if the omen can do such a good job - but imho id say maller. Omen looks better tho :P

maller no point flying an omen until you get cruiser 4 and its only really worth flying at cruiser 5 at cruiser 4 it equals maller damage and slightly outdamages it at cruiser 5 so at low skills a maller will do more damage and tank better at the same time

Thanks for the info, look like the maller is winning it so I'll go for that.
Another quick thing, been browsing through the etup in the ticky nd whatnot, along with the duramaller setup. I the duramaller a good viable pvp setup then?

the omen and maller are not used becase they are no where near as good as a thorax or a rupture!
a t1 kitted rupture/thorax is better than a t2 kitted maller/omen

Clueless? Maller is not a bad choice for a cruiser, but it's not the best either. ===

Clueless because the Maller has 200 more cap than the Omen without skills and a cap/s that is almost the same.
If you wanna use the cruiser for pvp, buy both. If you can't afford that, then don't start to pvp in cruisers.

Most ppl think laser sux so buying a ship whose bonus are both lasers is unwise at this regard. Most ppl stick in punisher-maller-proph-apoc route.

The best amarr t1 cruiser is without a doubt the Arbitrator.
Problem is you need drones 5 and various other drones skills, so it's kinda a specialized niche for those of us like me who trained such skills. 2x Tracking disruptors will shut down nearly anything you find yourself up against (or at least make your drones unkillable to them). Very strange ship for amarr.
Beyond that I would go for the maller because you'll appreciate the ability to tank much more than the ability to gank. Ganking requires high skills.
