Have all of you lost your freaking mind? I spec'd Caldari because unlike my commy/liberal-pinko RL attitudes, in internet spaceships I wanted to be a vicious fascist/anarcho-capitalist pig. Then I found out that Caldari ships were complete crap, everyone armor tanked, and none of them could do anything worthwhile in pvp.
There were rare exceptions, you anal-retentive bastards. I know, blah blah blah, Ham Drake. TORPS R GOOD. I saw the video, and, yeah, I can' spend a billion on pirate-faction crap to make it work too. (no I can't, I'm broke, please send ISK)
But besides for soloboating pirate scum, every time you wanted to fleet up you couldn't meet DPS needs because your lowslots were now a massive plate, DC, and some other such crap.
So is it true? Some rumor was that goonswarm was running shield pvp fleets. Another was that Hybrids were actually comparable weapons to other guns. Space stations are filled with fairies and love and CCP is going to give us all a month free to make up for extended downtimes. (figure out which one's I'm serious about)
After a year of playing, DETERMINED to fly the Rokh because it looks like a giant Engine of space-doom, are you actually telling me it could be viable fleet ship?! Because I'm about to plan Gallente and inquiring minds want to know.
/incredulity
PS: Need a solid solo-boat, pirate-scum pvp fit for a caldari cruiser.
Well normally I would help a commie-pinko-dirty hippy such as yourself into a bucket of fail-sauce...but I'm feeling charitable today.
So here we go: solo pirating pvp cruiser for the caldari: The Moa (for t1 cheapness). Fit blasters, ec drones and I'm sure you can figure out the rest. use the range bonus to your advantage with blasters, which means you can put out peak dps without closing to the same range as a thorax must.
for t2 - Rook. Don't worry about the tank...just fit multi-spec's for solo piraty pvp, heavy assaults and go all gank in the lows with a damage control at most. You should be able to go toe to toe with most bc size ships and smaller.
The jamming of the rook also makes a nice GTFO button if things get hairy. No it isn't guaranteed but noting in EVE is for certain.
You can attempt to pvp with a ferox I suppose. Many people have sadly been forced to switch to autocannons, but again you can fit blasters and use its range bonus to extend that good dps and tracking out farther than gallente ships are capable of doing. You are of course still susceptible to neuting, but if your shield tank is hefty enough you should do ok at least against tier 1 BC's and smaller.
