Edited by: Evelyn Lavi on 04/01/2007 05:23:23 Or, to put the title of the thread another way, "SCREW DPS!"
After visiting the Ships and Modules forum for too long, do you ever feel like your ship has already been configured for you?
Interceptor? "Must have MWD."
Amarr ship? "Must have cap boosters and pulses."
Battleship? "Must have all guns the same overall range."
I like to have a "fun" ship along with an "optimal" one. Am I the only one? 
Here's an example of a fun ship, in this case, a Vengeance.
3 Medium Modulated Pulse Energy Beams 1 Cloaking Device II 1mn ABII 'Hypnos' Multispec Jammer Cap Recharger II Armor Repairer II 3 Local Hull Conversion Overdrive Injectors
With this ship, I've made a stealthy ship that can push 825m/s indefinitely (100+m/s cloaked), with infinite cap recharge even while running the armor repairer and the guns. Meaning, I can spy on a location and call in gangmates, and if I'm caught, have a chance to jamming them and getting away, or jamming them and simply recloaking!
See what I mean by a fun ship? Forget DPS, forget maxing out the numbers. Versatility has its beauty.
Anyone else have such a fun ship idea?

Yep, because EVE is at its best when all you have before you is a bunch of numbers with a graphic skin over them.
A lot of people don't fly Ravens because they're too ugly. This is only going one step further.

Wrong, ma'am. Wrong!
You simply should not fit your ships out to do anything but tank/gank to the maximum possible effect.
I mean, what if World of Warcraft permitted anything else? You'd have people that played Warriors that were more than meat shields that taunt people, Priests that did more than dump glowing green healing crap on people, and maybe Paladins that actually tried to hurt people with those hammers they're carrying!
Heaven forbid that! DPS is king.

Blaster Rokh: 8x Neutron Blasters Tank Gank
If you're in a Tempest, Megathron, or Hyperion and come up against one of these, just give up. That's what the game is coming to: Caldari are now the best at everything!
It's great playing Caldari-online, isn't it?

I'm sure it is, if you didn't spend a ****load of time training to fly Gallente blaster ships.
"But," they whine, "we can't keep you in the fight!" And yet, even with MWD, injector, and scrambler, the Rokh's tank+damage is good enough that it can kick the **** out of anything else. I've seen it in person. I've seen it talked about on these forums.
But there's no use denying it anymore.
Yes, Caldari WIN EVE.
EDIT: Before you go all Caldari-whiney on my arse: I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with a Caldari ship being able to kick the **** out of something, or have some advantage. The problem is that Caldari ship(s) can kick the **** out of ANYTHING. The problem is that the Rokh is better with the quintessential Gallente weapon system than the Gallente ships themselves. The problem is that the Rokh does NOT have a disadvantage compared to ships DESIGNED to use blasters (Hyperion and Megathron). In fact, one could make a strong case that the hyperion and Megathron have MORE disadvantages. Before you go all "yeah, but you can't solo with a blaster rokh"... rubbish! I know two guys who solo VERY WELL with blaster rokhs, and routinely take out well fit blasterthron and hyperion pilots.
EDIT 2: And no, Caldari aren't the only ships that have this ubertotalpwnage about them. Nos domi is the other. God help us.

my fun setup, requires 2 ppl, 2 merlins, and the need to have fun,
2 ppl with jamming and missile skills, 2 merlins setup with 2 standard launchers 1 warp scram, 3 sensor damps 2 bcs
now for the fun part, lock scram and damp, watch them squirm as they cant do anything but sit there and let the light missiles slowly chunk away at the ship that they dont really wanna lose to 2 merlins:) best sig ever:)

Fun setups were before "KALdarI" and the whole HP boost bull****...
I used to have a passive shield and armor tanked brutix that used to kill faction BSs solo, its impossible to compete with passive tanked HP monsters that are also immune to NOS.. with revelations Caldari and Minmatar pretty much became that while Amarr and gallente became the opposite.
Yes the op is right "Screw DPS", thats exactly what Tuxford thought when making the balance changes...

Throw an MWD there and you'll be suprised how survivable that thing is. Or not but it goes fast and thus is even more fun.
