Most people find artillery crap @ pve (low dps), but prefer them in pvp (quite high alphastrike).
Yes, they are valuable in pvp and because pvp fights usually arent that long and alpha strike can overpower strongtanks, its a pretty good choice. The different damagetypes, so you can hit soft spots isnt bad aswell.
That said..sniping is ghey! use AC!

FRACK YEA!
However, I still think EvE needs more and better tactical warning sounds.

Not only are they useful, 1400mm II is THE gun of choice on a fleet of sniper ships because of the alpha strike. They're the most expensive t2 turret for a reason you know ;-)

Yeah, we invented logoffskis, logonskis, Crtl-Q, POS spamming, whoring 10/10's with alts and Teamspeak DDoS bombs. But at least we don't have DB Preacher. |

I thought 425mm tech 2 Railguns are more expensive?

They are great,especially with the tempest and the maelstrom,you can get alot of alpha strike(low dps)plus lots of mids to play with.
But you need 1400s

Yes, artillery rocks the party! Just remember the importance of tracking. With a couple t2 tracking comps (or use shadow serp if ya want the best combo of price vs performance)your 1400's will be whooping arse and takin names!!

With Quake and a couple gyros on a Tempest, you can wreck for over 3k........(with Quake).

Blob loving artillery.
If you're by yourself....don't think you'll take down something the same size as you before he.....
1. Warps off (due to range)
2. Gets close to you thus increasing transversal.
Blob or snipe are what they're used for...neither being all that fun.

ya know.. not every fight includes hundreds of ships. In fact most of them have at most 5 ships on each side.

ok, now that thats answered, is the maelstrom any good? I love the fact it isnt held together with duck tape and gum. I'm goinginto a Hurricane atm, but always was a BS man at heart.

I say poo poo on the maelstrom. For "Most bang fer yer ISK" its the tempest. Sure, you can run 2 more 1400mm II's but because the tempest gets a dmg bonus, if you have BS trained to V like I do the maelstrom puts out just a hair more damage at twice the cost.
