The Destroyers can potentially deal around the same damage as AFs (lower DPS but pretty good Alpha), but if they have to tank at the same time the destroyer is gone in 5 seconds and the loss isn't much cheaper than an AF with same gear.
I once calculated price of T2 sniper (Cormorant / Harpy) and it was 24m/34m - and the harpy tank is well worth the extra 10m... It sure makes the ship more survivable

I tried desperately to come up with a good tank for one of the tier one destroyers, because I love the ship models (all of them). They're the best looking ships in the game, at least to me.
It was no good. I suppose the closest was:
Coercer:
8 x 125mm projectiles
1 x med cap battery II
2 x SAR II
2 x EANM II
1 power rig
2 cap recharge time rigs
Ridiculously expensive fittings for a 1 million ISK destroyer. Resists are about 60% across the board.
Still would go down fast in a fight. The problem too is that without an AB, getting near enough to the enemy to use the autocannons can take a long time.
I say yes to tier 2 destroyers. Just one extra mid or low slot would make a huge difference in survivability. I'd like to see the Gallente tier 2 destroyer be a mini drone carrier with fewer high slots... 25m3 with bonuses that apply to light drones only.
Also, why don't interdictors get a sig radius bonus in the same way interceptors do? |

Bingo! Its all in the skills.
Basically for starter toons you, they should be in tackling frigs. For high end toons they should use anything they damn well please, including destroyers that get infinitely better with high sp.
Oh and tier2 please. Tho can we have them with a tanking bonus? :)

I love my catalyst for specific things.
My favourite 'sit out side the station and pwn anything smaller than me setup':
7xNeutron Blasters with AM.
7.5km scram, Sensor Booster
Small armor repair, Magnetic Stabilizer, Damage Control
1 drone, take your pick.
Some guy undocks in a pod or shuttle to try and get around your station camp? *pop* Frigates? Same deal. Something bigger undocks? Your friends in their slower locking cruiser and bc's give a hand and you get out.
My other favourite 'what covetor was that'?
8x Neutron Blasters with AM
7.5km scram
2xMagnetic Stabilizer
1 drone, go for the explosive :)
You can solo pwn a covetor in high sec with this before concord shows up (0.7 or below, I need better gunnery skills to take it higher) Or bring a friend :) Even if he fit a tank you should be finishing him off before concord arrives.
Not healthy for your sec, but good fun and potentially profitable (One strip survives? You just made a profit! Even more if you build the destroyer and guns and fittings yourself) Don't forget to have a buddy nearby as there's not much cargo room in a pod.
Remember: Only you can prevent macromining. Save the roids! *zzzt..pop*

People simply don use dest how they should be used. Trasher 7x 280mm 2 Sensor Booster II 1 Track COmpu 2 2 Gyro
gate camp pop frigates and ceptors....
also very good to support bigger ships.. by killign ceptors form far away and heavy drones.
If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough |

Coercer for gate camps:
8* dual light beam II's
SB
2* HS II, EANM, 400 mm tungsten plate
Instant 30+ km' radius of quick lock and hard alpha, over 2000 armor with skills.. ok, you can't rep, but any solo frigate opponent, be it Af, inty or stealth bomber close needs to think about playing a game of chicken.
Passive tank ftw. 200+ dps with gleam, too.
And this is the expensive outfit. If you wnat a dozen throw away ones, go
8* dual modal light beams
SB (or web if you solo)
2* HS, 400 mm II plate, EANM
allready cheaper.. hell, given how much I killed with having unnamed beams.. *grin*
I like dessy's. They have alot more range than dictors, wich let them throw up a large area of defence vs. tacklers. Wich is teh role they are designed for. Flak.... bad ugly brutal flak.
