Forget kiting big fleets with this hull. At least with the confessor you can make that work. And if your stuck with any kind of tidi, you'll be so much more happy that you stuck with confessor. You will at least have instant damage application with your lazors. And from what I could tell, much more consistent damage application.
Jackdaw burns through rockets like crazy...
Got a 8.4km rage range and it fires the second volley before the first even hits...
I'm going to be spending a lot on ammo for this thing.... assuming it survives that long. |

It does burn through them, but therein lies the other reason for going rockets instead of LML, rate of fire. I can see a lot of situations when brawling when the quick rate of fire is going to make all the difference between wrecking or getting wrekt. Especially when you are fighting small ships, you don't want to explode because your quarry survived the first volley and popped you before your second volley even goes off. Once again another reason to love the confessor.
That reload time though.... It's awesome!
However, I think this ship was balanced with this reload time.... Based on it's slow velocity, I think it would have been much better off with a damage buff, range, or web bonus.....
It's slow, and ineffective with LMLs, so it needs something better than a reload time, despite the reload time being pretty cool. |
