Edited by: AntonioBanderas on 29/07/2007 10:46:38 Hi
I've just skilled up to minmatar battleships. I'm gun user, my missile skills are pretty crappy (i can use heavy missiles, that's about it). I can also use heavy drones. No support skills.
So i'm not sure should i get a typhoon or tempest? Phoon can tank, has huge drone bay but have split weapon systems so i would lose quite some dps. Pest on the other hand is pure gank ship but has weaker tank, more than 50% smaller dronebay. Yet, she has 6 turret slots so i would be able to dish out more damage...
I would fight angels.
thank you all Ant

WHen fighting angels a shieldtank would be best. A tempest can shield tank,but i would take maelstrom instead. Pretty good dmg and good drone bay.

Hi. Not sure this post will actually help at all, but I am also in the minnie BS quandry. I can use all tech 2 projectile weapons but have poor missile skills. I currently use a tempest with 650s, a nos and a salvager. I then either armour or shield tank, depending on rats. I have no problem with any spawn, although I have to be a little careful with those triple 1.8mil (or whatever) spawns if I land 90km away as I have to tank for quite a while before I do any damage (few drones) or can Nos to help my cap. Keep wondering if phoon or Maelstrom (expensive!) would be better.
sorry that probably doesnt help the OP!

Edited by: Tractormech on 29/07/2007 19:19:55 Personally if you only have heavy missles, and no support skills, you shouldn't eve set foot in a bs.
If you still want to though, typhoon is optimal minmatar bs for ratting. Drones+cruise+arties+mwd, saves time closing on range etc.

hmm. so cruises are a must. But what about support skills for them? I should train up for cruise missiles although i won't have support skills? I mean, phoon looks like THE 'rat and mission' ship, i just wasn't sure what about cruises.
any further advice is welcome.
thx Ant

Edited by: Graalum on 29/07/2007 20:54:49 i've been shreading guristas with the following setup:
6x1200MM II arty tracking comp II, 4 capII LarII, 2x kin hardener (named) 3x gyrostab.
Kill's npc's much faster than my raven could, and tanks well enough.
to adapt it to angels
6x 1400 or 1200 mm II arty LSB II, 3x hardeners, tracking computer II or CapII 3xpdu II, 3x gyro II
oh and as everyone else has said: mael > pest, especially when you aren't concerned about loot.

The Typhoon is the "whatever you want it to do" ship. It's the most powerful minmatar T1 BS there is, but the caveat is that you need a crapload of skills to reach that potential.
I'd go Maelstrom.

Unfortunately the only thing phoon CAN'T do is shieldtank.
