Tank = very good Gank = subpar to a Vaga or Muninn Speed = OKish Drones = what Drones 
So yeah, the Broadsword is quiet good as a heavy tackler, with some damage, but it's nowhere near a solo-BS-killer.
The Onyx does axactly the same as the Brodsword, with an passive Sield Tank.
The Heavy Interdictors all are ment to tank like hell, but none of them has a dronebay or a second damagebonus like the HACs. .

What are you on about? The broadsword is hardly the new FOTM for single combat. The new HIC are all quite valuable to a gang, but by no means are they capable of tearing through your average combat HAC on their own.
Though that EM resist does irk me... |

Edited by: Amy Wang on 20/11/2007 01:26:13 They tank well which is good as they are the natural primary. They also have the mass of a BC and will move like a brick. Comparing the broadsword to the eos in terms of unbalancedness is a joke at best, the eos was unbalanced compared to all other field command ships, the broadsword is pretty much in line with the other heavy dictors.

Yes, because every vaga pilot's first ammo into his cargo is PP, and no amarr pilot has ever patched the thermal hole

1. Yes. Phased Plasma is pretty much in every Minnie cargo if he fights T2 tank oriented Amarr ships on any regular basis. Amarr ships generally have lower thermal/kinetic resists and Phased Plasma is pure Thermal/kinetic. Barrage will do in a pinch against an Amarr T2 tank, but Phased plasma is the ****nitz. Most Amarr ships will also focus on patching the Kinetic resist since while Minnies aren't rare, gallente ships with blasters are 13 a dozen and those deal kinetic damage at a 3/2 ratio. 2. It's quite difficult to patch the thermal hole properly on anything but the Damnation and Absolution without sacrificing overall tank. Zealots and Sacrileges, forget it. 3. The difficulty for a laser ship of getting through a T2 minnie shield tank (or *shiver* armor tank) is simply atrocious. 75% base resists against our primary form of damage. Lovely, and lasers can't switch damage type. ______________________________________________ -You can never earn my respect, only lose it.

Switching to PP removes the falloff bonus. Falloff is life. I don't particularly like fighting T2 Amarr ships in my minnie ships.

The resistance disadvantage far outweighs the the falloff disadvantage except at the farthest of ranges. Pick your range just outside of conflag/mf range and its no big deal.

It's not the *BIGGEST* deal, but that doesn't mean I have to like getting in that close. =/ The capacity for screwing up becomes ridiculously high.
Of course, I suppose the *REAL* problem is that I don't like to fly anything bigger than a cruiser. =/

killed a couple vagas and an eagle with it, it's lovely. Not a quick ship by any means, but designed as a capital tackler. Onxy is freaking evil if you want to look at sick tanks. and STFU about the EOS, it's firepower is still more than the claymore or HamNation and still has a good tank. EOS wasn't supposed to have Astarte/Sleipnir level firepower. THUKKER -Be Paranoid

The ship mentioned was a Vagabond. You do know what happens to Vagabonds who venture too close to webrange, don't you? The reason people fly them is to stay *out* of webrange.
Then again, someone said that the new Minmatar HIC is outganked (LOL!) by a Vaga, so . Yes, absolutely outganked by Vagas loading Hail M and going to 1km range, where the life expectancy of a Vaga is just lol.
Furthermore, you'll patch your damn thermal hole if you want to fight vs Amarr,Minmatar, Gallente or Caldari. Incidentally, Minmatar T2 is totally craptastic for armour tanking due to two resistance holes - explosive and kinetic.

2. It's quite difficult to patch the thermal hole properly on anything but the Damnation and Absolution without sacrificing overall tank.
So patching the resist you will be hit on by Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari and Amarr (oh, and the highest damage drones as well) is not worth it for some reason?

A T2 minmatar Armour tank means that you've got this huge explosive and kinetic hole which makes you very good against amarr and very bad against everything else. Kindof reminds me that our T2 ships are designed to hit Amarr.
By the way, the shield tank vs Amarr is good, but not even close to the armour tank and leaves a kinetic hole for us to patch.

*le sigh*
Look. Every Amarr T2 ship worth its salt fits either a thermic hardener or a thermic membrane. But fitting two thermic hardeners/membranes is far less important than actually plugging your kinetic hole and upping your Explosive/EM resist just a bit more or you will be murdered even faster by the first Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari or Amarr that pops into overview.
It's basically a choice between this:
1. Plug your thermal hole really well (take it up into the 80s) and end up being murdered by every gallente, amarr, minmatar or caldari ship coming around since you'll be owned by kinetic missiles, Barrage, EMP and Anti-matter. 2. Patch up your thermal resist (take it up into the 70s), improve your kinetic resists and pad up your EM/Exp a bit and end up at a strong disadvantage against minmatars anyway since they'll still have good effect with Phased Plasma.
The smart minnie is the one that knows when it's a good idea to disengage or not take the fight at all. The even smarter minnie is the one that knows when he/she can win the fight by switching from barrage to Phased Plasma. ______________________________________________ -You can never earn my respect, only lose it.

Not to sound rude, but well over 1/3rd of *all* damage dealt in PVP is done by thermal drones. That discounts actual ammo.... and on some ships, you can have 600/300 thermal to other ratios.
IMO, I'd patch the thermal hole because of the ubiquity of thermal damage on all races.

I got to disagree with you here. I slap 2x EAN II's and a Energized Thermic II on my sac and all my resistances are over 80% and that's nice and passive. Same thing goes for the Damnation and Absolution. You can get a very nice tank on those. Zealot is a different story but it's designed to gank but not tank.

Broadsword looks scary good. I think that CCP screwed up and should have stuck with the same bonuses they gave the CS. Broadsword and Phobos should have active hardening bonuses instead of resistance bonuses. Broadsword looks like a mean, mean ship. Speaking of mean, nice bowel disruptor in your sig there Futher. you've inspired me to make a new sig.
