Let us know what you think!
Vigil Fleet Issue
I am one of the very few current PVP Vigil pilots, so any improvement on the ultimate niche ship is good.... and my preliminary numbers are....wow.
153.15 DPS (116 = 2 x LMLs w/ Explosive + 36.5 drone)
5km web, dissy = 19km OH web range and kiting like a bawss doing 153 DPS. Dis gun be nasty.
It has reasonable fitting latitude given the lower number of midslots - 2 x LML's, MSE, MWD, web, scram, 2 x BCU's and DCU appears fittable. But i really don't know what that spare highslot would, should or even could be used for, given it will most probably be used for web kiting with LML's and can't fit a decent enough buffer to deal with the current drone DPS boat proliferation.
Maulus Navy Issue
There's going to be some very sore DST transports in lowsec and highsec, I can tell. 3 point 14km scrams, zomg. Of course, the next thing we really, really needed in the frigate meta was more of those long range point ships. Add in links, and 20km scram kite is going to be a thing, and we all love the idea of that I am sure. DPS is going to be reasonable given the competing drone meta options, and you can even do a reasonable sentry drone meta with these things given a 50% tracking bonus and Omnidirectional in the midslot.
Griffin Navy Issue
Not sure about this ship. I guess...find something with no drones and sig tank its guns? I don't know that a 100% jam strength bonus on this will get jam strengths of 16-20 or so, which is going to be deadly vs turret and missile-only ships like the Punisher, Rifter, Corax, Svipul etc. if you can get within 9km of them (6.75 optimal + 6.75 falloff). Which is going to be hard due to being slow as pus Caldari. The DPS is also anemic, but i like the cap use bonus, it is going to help you not cap yourself out in seconds. I foresee these sitting on warp-ins in FW plexes and not much else.
Crucifier Navy Issue
The Crucifier never suffered much as a brawling fit before, and this brawling focused variant is just going to make them more of a PITA for turret cruisers and BS they can get the drop on. Not sure why 4 mids and 3 lows - as an AB sig tank it can get away with one scripted TD (or MD), AB + scram. The extra lows might be very necessary for it to mount a decent armour tank, as a 3-slot tank is going to be AAR, DCU and EANM, so about 127 DPS. You'll want to be on top of drones, and hope to hell for no webs, but then actually cracking an any tank is going to be pretty hard with 4 effective turrets. Still, looks interesting.
The pick of the litter is going to be the Maulus, I'm afraid, due to that scram range and strength. Gate camper's must-have.
