Sheriff Jones Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.08.08 16:11:00 - [1] Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 08/08/2007 16:11:05 Originally by: Ellaine TashMurkon Arbitrator - amazing and expendable pvp ship Maller - useless, well, maybe tank it as a cheap bait? Omen - useless Augoror - even less usefull then two above Arbitrator - Best droneship(not counting its variants) of amarr and rather cheap to fly. It's the preverbial "multitool" of the amarr navy really, the fitting variations are almost endless. Maller - A great hardhitter for cheap flights. Also is a lot faster to mission(lowend) in then in a BC.(taking all traveltimes etc into consideration) Omen - Fastest gank ship in the low-end of ships. It's like a mini BS/assault frigate. A devastating weapon in the right hands. Augoror - Great ship for repairing/support, especially in cruiser gangs/missioning. It's left alone basically 'cause it's the only ship that's even close to the guardian, another "left alone" ship. This is mainly 'cause people like to pewpew more then help eachother Cruisers have their uses, but in a "PVP only i want results now!" world, i can see how they would be "useless". Cheap, good for fun/fast tasks, testing, learning. They do what a frigate can't do and cost less to do in then in a battlecruiser. So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.

Also, some don't fly other races for other reasons. So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.08.09 10:34:00 - [3] Originally by: Gamesguy Because a Hac/Recon can do every thing a cruiser does but better. HAC/Recon= 80 mil? Cruiser= 5mil? There's the big difference. Other is a "Oh gods i hope i don't lose this!"-ship and other is a cruiser So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.08.09 10:44:00 - [4] Originally by: Gamesguy Ya but you'd use the same equipment on both ships, so throw in another 20-30mil for complete t2 fittings. Now you're looking at 30mil vs 100mil. But the hac would perform way better, let you live longer/survive more engagements. And the recons are so much better than their t1 counterparts its really lopsided. Rook vs blackbird? Lachesis vs celestis? Still. You can fit/buy three cruisers at the price of one HAC/Recon. And by the way, if you're amarr, those t1 counterparts sometimes are better, fitting wise. Especially after khanid hits Only encounters you really have to worry are gatecamps/bubbles, and you can't survive those anyhoo. Well, can, but there's minimal difference. So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.

Love that ship. Second this to the second degree Also, fitted my augoror today as a "blockade runner". Cargo expanders x3 i-stab x3 MWD Dampener. Lazorz. It's a small cargo(750), cheap mans blockade runner and best there is really at it. Also tried a level II mission with it, single plate makes it the best armoured ship in the cruiser fleet So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have.
