2 * 650mm
MED:
1 * EM ward
1 * med shield booster
1 * mwd/ab/whatever
LOW:

With good skills, you can keep all high and med slots running.

I like
Hi:
2 Heavy Beam Lasers Radio Crystals/Multi's
2 720 mm Howitsers
1 Small Smart Bomb
1 Micro SB
Med:
Med shield Boost
2 10 AB's
Lo:
4 Power Diagnostic 1's
1 CPU
1 Whatever you can fit based on Cap/grid left
I am sure some people would argue with it but I have liked it alot mainly because I am a long distance fighter and this set-up puts the 720's and the Heavies with the same optimal range w/Radios Crystals and Carbonized lead(35k or so with my skills). Have taken multiple NPC Cruisers with no trouble at all on mission runs and hunting. The smart bombs are pretty good protection against Missles if you practice a bit.
As they said Don't PVP with a Maller

you CAN pvp in a maller..you just need EW support. so a maller/BB would be a fun combo.

... OK, i'll bite; what's so horribly wrong about Maller that it shouldn't even dream of fighting (supposedly other cruisers) without EW support? o.o

Maller suck for pvp coz of two reasons..
1) Lack of medslots...
2) Lack of missile slots.
(3) Lack of drone space)
I keep hearing missiles suck..they dont, they work very nice on frigates, and cruisers...They just dont do enough damage compared to BS weapons.
So anyway, concluding...It cannot defend properly, is useless if jammed, cannot scramble the enemy.
Another small note, its main weapon is lasers..and tbh, i estimate 90% of BS users carry atleast an EM ward, and another 60% carrys EM and Thermal. Most pvp cruisers do aswell. So easy to tank the Mallers damage.

So really amarr ships are substandard then 'cause you say everyone has at least a em or thermal hardener... That kind of sucks...
By substandard I mean they have bonuses towards laser weapons, so equiping hybrid or proj. would make the weapons a little bit less effective then on a ship that has the bonuses.

The Maller's big problem in PVP is that cruise missiles and torpedoes tend to out-damage cruiser-sized lasers. Add in a total lack of EW and minimal defenses (you have only 3 mid slots) and you're dead quick against someone that can web and jam you or a missile user spamming cruise missiles from 40k+ out. And don't even THINK about getting close to a Thorax full of heavy drones!
Note that this is only true for SOLO pvp... having a Blackbird along with you can make a Maller positively DEADLY (though a Thorax's drones will still be a pain).
Right now "pvp" seems to mean "missiles and EW"... so the Amarr ships have a disadvantage. But using no ammo sure helps for farming NPCs...

not to mention the Mallers the ugliest ship in the game.
Ihave a Maller at the moment, i actually think i preferred the Omen to it. Least the omen lets u carry a few drones.

I want to have sex with the Caracal. Breacher is the ugliest ship in the game if we leave the cruiser catagory.

I heard someone saw Smartbombs can knock missiles out of space when they are within range? Is this true? It was in another thread about the maller. Someone said thats the amarr missile defence.

Okay lets set aside the fact that in a ew battle yes whoever doesn't have it is gonna lose.
The maller is a good fighting ship, and can be used for hunting/missions/pvp support or 1v1 battles
My setup for just about everything
High
3 heavybeam/modulated( if you hav)
2 modulated focused beams (this things fire fast!!)
1 small smart bomb (yes it is useful for taking out half of all missle spam at you)
Mids
1 mwd
1 cl-5 (get one theres no reason not too)
1 Em ward(anointed hopefully cpu helps!)
Lows
1 named heatsink
maybe 1 power diag if you need it
rest cap power relays
1 variation is to drop the mwd and go for more cap or recharge or another ward.
This setup rocks because
1 your fast
2 you hit hard
3 you can absorb dmg good
4 you almost never run outta cap
I can operate the ward/sb and 3 guns forever, or
mwd/ward and 3 guns forever
use all 5 till ur hurtin drop down to the focused and recharge/flee then ur set again
Once again this is just to help out the guy who started this thread, for everyone who says my ew missle boat will toast ur puny Maller I remind you, They are good support ships, not solo pirate type ships.

Rupture, Moa and Thorax > Blackbird, Caracal and Stabber > Maller for PvP.
Conclusion: Don't use a Maller for PvP.
