Wideen Eon Project Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.02.09 23:29:00 - [1] I have reached a dilemma as far as my future specialization is concerned. Thing is I fly all races, some better than others. But when it comes to battleships I have specialized in Minmatar (minnie bs 5) so I'm not too far away from a minnie dread. Problem is that my friends who fly Naglefars' advice me NOT to get one as they can't tank worth anything, hence they get primaried and killed first in fleet battles, and on top of that they have terrible dmg, worst of all dreads (looking at their killboard when it comes to POS killing I can see that this is true). So the issue is this: since I want to continue on to cap ships, I don't know if it's worth to continue on the minmatar line. I got advised to go with amarr caps since they tank the best and the Revelation has great dmg, but this would require me to train another BS 5 and large guns on top of that. So I'm weighing between either Amarr or Gallente. What rly gets me contemplating is whether I'll enjoy the Amarr BS 5 more than the Gallente one to 5... So from the perspective of battleships and upwards to capital class ships; would Amarr or Gallente be the better choice? Sure it's all a matter of your playing style but there must be some other truth than the subjective one... Originally by: F'nog Your math intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to its newsletter.
Wideen Eon Project Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.02.10 11:03:00 - [2] Tbh if it comes down to 'pure love' then I'd say Amarr. I enjoy greatly flying the harb for instance, and the proph but its dmg is just terrible so I have actually stopped trying with that one. I fly Gallente command ships but gallente has never been my passion so to speak, the whole up close and personal. What rly holds me back from going with amarr is that they rly seem damn near impossible to fit (the BS line that is)... I'd stay with minmatar if they just didn't have a crappy capital line up, I don't get off on paying 1.7billion for a ship that will get called primary and that doesn't even deliver the dmg as one might think it would.

Wideen Eon Project Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.02.10 11:13:00 - [3] Originally by: Sokratesz Amarr. Gallente caps have poor tank and the extra damage is barely worth it. From what I was told, a Revelation will outdmg a Moros, and tank godly while doing it? Originally by: F'nog Your math intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to its newsletter.

Apoc will be a very nice ship with what amounts to an extra bonus now. All three benefit from the resistance change, with the Geddon especially being a dps monster on both shields and armour, given its price. And, of course, Amarr caps are just better. ah I didn't know the Apoc will get another bonus, very nice. From toying with some setups, this ships seems relatively hopeless when it comes to dmg. Pls bare with me, I just wanna get all these questions out of the way, since it's a big decision. 1. Is Amarr an AB race, instead of an MWD? Considering the cap you spare by not using one and the flexible range of laser turrets. (Yeah you'll get screwed in gatecamps but that's besides the point) 2. Is it rly possible to run a dual rep setup on amarr ships AND still have decent dps? Seeing as you either run out of PG and/or CPU while trying to fit it Thanks.

Wideen Eon Project Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.02.10 14:15:00 - [5] Thank you all for your replies, especially the one above me, that was very informative! I have now started training towards amarr caps as I think that will give me the most pleasure, especially if considering the battleships.

Wideen Eon Project Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.02.10 21:01:00 - [6] Very nice reply, thank you! The way I see it is, when it comes to the capitals is: I do like the Moros' versatility when it comes to its drones, to fend off smaller targets, but that's about it. If I'm buying a dread I want it built to last so to speak, so I wouldn't mind the 'tank-ability' of the Rev. Although, somewhere in the back of my mind I get the feeling that the only thing a Rev could actually hit is a large POS (or something that is vely vely static and large). And besides, isn't it just so much more fun to take the harder road? Originally by: F'nog Your math intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to its newsletter.
