Dorian Tormak M0N0LITH 0	Posted - 2011.09.06 14:55:00 - [3] - Quote Nice! Looks like it'll get owned at the first camp it comes to though because of the low tank and lack of MWD/good AB speed. _____________________________

Jude Lloyd Heretic Army B A N E 31	Posted - 2011.09.07 07:57:00 - [9] - Quote I have a very similar flycatcher fitted up. I've had it fitted for a few months. Every fight I get into with it I've had to bail, so I can't say its successful. But its a good alternative to the Hooky.

whaynethepain Dissident Aggressors Mordus Angels 4	Posted - 2011.09.07 21:48:00 - [16] - Quote Looks interesting, may make a good Faction Warfare pvp ship, the sabre looks interesting too, I liked the dual propulsion flycatcher, but it burst into flames whenever anyone looked at it harshly

In all reality in lowsec this is a cheap version of a dual-web Hookbill with a marginally larger tank (which is somewhat negated by the bigger sig radius), a little slower and more DPS. General rule of thumb is if a dual-web Hookbill can kill it, the flycather can probably also kill it. I've flown it, and I found it fun, but never really got any solo kills with it, so I can't comment on that. Commanding Officer of the Treacle Tart Brigade*

I love how ppl who know nothing about Eve except 0.0 Blob Warfare comment on other parts of the game. The flycatcher is great against several frigates. Saying a Cane can kill it is incredibly useless. Thats like saying "Don't fly a Rupture! A Proteus could kill that!"

Joshke Epsilon Inc STORM. 0	Posted - 2011.09.09 15:38:00 - [25] - Quote The idea is good, but why the Flycatcher? It's tank is too weak, rockets have too small range and standard launchers (if you fit them) are weak against speed tank. And yes, dictors are not for solo in low sec.

Tsubutai The Tuskers 2	Posted - 2011.09.09 17:31:00 - [27] - Quote Trouble with flying a no-bubble all-gank dictor in lowsec is that while you will generally murder any frigate that comes your way, you'll die horribly to larger things and most half-decent or better frigate pilots will steer clear of you. Consequently, you'll probably struggle to get winnable fights.

Saying a Cane can kill it is incredibly useless. Thats like saying "Don't fly a Rupture! A Proteus could kill that!" This. The Flycatcher goes as fast as most assault ships if you're using a deadspace afterburner; it can take on basicly the same things a Hookbill can and while it may die to bigger ships more easily due to the bigger signature radius, it is still capable of a speed tank under medium + guns. It's incredible aesthetically and it's something different. The title of the thread is FLYCATCHER SOLO, not MY INTERDICTOR FIT FOR 0.0 BUBBLING, and the afterburner should give you roosters a clue as to where he uses it. If you STILL don't like the Flycatcher, go watch Who You Gonna Call 2. BUT, his opinion isn't invalid just for being in Goons; that was just an ignorant thing to say, Jude :) _____________________________

Rockets have great range for a short range frigate weapon system and if you can dictate range/have proper tackle fitted you have some of the most consistent dps.

Your going to need a Dead space AB for better speed or try and fit a MWD!! Scorpionidae These new forums... yeah they sucks!

Roktai ROFLcopters Take Flight 0	Posted - 2011.09.28 16:29:00 - [34] - Quote I think the problem at hand is that you are trying to make something do something it wasn't designed for. Will it kill frigates? Probably. Will a frigate pick a fight with it? Probably not. Will the first cheaply fit cane that sees it pick a fight? Yes. It is kinda like fitting small ACs on a cane and saying I have an uber destroyer... sure it would work, but there are more effective ways to fit it.

This actually has roughly the same speed as a Hawk and alot more dps ill give you tank and sig though, not that the frigates that engage this will last that long
Gizznitt Malikite Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 4	Posted - 2011.09.30 06:01:00 - [39] - Quote TBH, I don't fight much in lowsec, so I almost always fit a bubbler on my dictors. I have used a very similar version of the flycatcher to good success, but its has some serious weaknesses. It can take on and kill most frigate/dessie hulls, although its not a wtf pwn mobile. The ships I have caught and killed with it include dramiels, taranis', jaguars, heretics, and sabres. To do so, I find a large pipe system and drop a bubble 90km's from gate. Power to the catch point, and use dscan to determine if my target is worth engaging. When I engage, I almost always hold my target somewhere between 5.5 - 8 km's and pound them with rockets. Ships with active tanks really suffer from the nuet, but against minmatar, its typically more important to limit the incoming dps with range (especially sabres!). Pros: Most pilots underestimate the flycatcher. This setup can dictate range on 95% of the your standard fit ships. It can bubble.. Cons: Its dps is nothing to brag about. It travels very poorly, and will always die to a gate camp. Truthfully, there are several combat inties and AFs that are more effective using a mobile warp bubble, more survivable, cheaper, and can engage a wider variety of targets.

Smabs Higher Than Everest BricK sQuAD. 3	Posted - 2011.10.04 00:17:00 - [41] - Quote The fit is fine, really, but I think you can do a better job overall with a dualweb hawk, harpy or hookbill. You'd be fighting mostly the same targets with similar chances to kill them, and you'd be better at evading gate camps. But if you like the flycatcher then go for it. Pretty sure it'll destroy most frigates/dictors.

I would like to point out that this was either a very good fight, or the flycatch was improperly flown. The flycatch should easily be able to stay out of your blaster's range, and then its a question of webbing and killing a flight of medium drones before they kill the flycatcher.

Meridith Akesia Stimulus Rote Kapelle 48	Posted - 2011.10.05 04:22:00 - [45] - Quote Fit looks decent, should be able to kill the majority of frigs you will find if you fly it right. Also has no reputation as a good solo ship, so you should get more fights.
Lugalzagezi666 7	Posted - 2011.10.05 08:20:00 - [46] - Quote Dessie with 100+ sig and 7,5k ehp - fitted with ab... Pray for not encountering 2 canes on first gate, because it will be last jump of your roam.
Kitty McKitty In Praise Of Shadows 282	Posted - 2011.10.05 10:16:00 - [47] - Quote The only comment I have, and it goes for all slow frig / dessie hulls is that without an mwd you don't get to call the shots on who you engage and are stuck fighting only very bad or willing targets. You also have zero survivability if you hit a half competent gang on a gate. AB only fits are perfectly viable and I use them in certain cases, but I don't know if I would want to do so on a flycatcher. With rockets, once you have something locked down you should be able to melt most targets before they creep out of scram range anyway so range control during an engagement isn't so urgent. It ultimately depends what you intend to target in all honestly and you sound like you more or less know what you are up to so have fun GÖÑ GÖÑ Haviing your portrait painted here helps INTAKI Disabled Children GÖÑ
Othran Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 42	Posted - 2011.10.05 16:19:00 - [48] - Quote I'm not sure any dictor without mwd is viable in low-sec. Even with mwd I think you're going to be targeted as an expensive destroyer. If you have something VERY specific in mind then OK give it a go. Otherwise it'll be "ooo T2 shiny with no tank or speed, kill it now".
