So I am trying to outfit a Typhoon for gang pvp, and this is what I have come up with
Highs:
3x Dual 650mm Scout Autocannons
3x Limos Cruise Launchers
2x Heavy Unstable Power Flux
Mediums:
Quad LiF MWD
Web
Scram
Cap Recharger II
Lows:
Gyro II
Ballistics Control II
LAR
EANM
Kinetic Hardener
Explosive Hardener
DCUII
Drones:
5x Ogres
5x Hammerheads
I went with heavy Neuts over NOS because I want to outright shatter the enemies cap rather than slowly leech it, and since all of my weapons do not require cap, I can keep plugging away without missing a beat.

Also, this will be my first battleship, so be gentle. ;)

Cap rechargers have no place in pvp, try switching it up for a heavy booster to keep your cap up. Another thing is to switch the cruise missiles for torps, most combat will occur at close range, if you use 4 torps and 2 guns the dps will be quite similar and you can remove 1 gyrostab and use a 1600mm plate for some buffer.

personally id drop the guns all together and in the highs fit 4 nos/nuet and 4 siege launchers
take out the cap recharger and put in a cap booster
take out the gyro for a bcu, and bring 5 med painter drones

I have been skilling for this ship for ages now and i can' wait to fly it since the Torp buff...
I was thinking of the following fit -
4 x T2 Torps W/Faction Torps
4 x T2 Dual 425's
MWD
X5-Web
Fleeting Web
Scram
1600mm RT
1600mm RT
Exp Hard T2
Therm Hard T2
F85 Suitcase
BCU T2
BCU T2
Rigs-
Kin Pump/Exp Pump/Tri Mark
Very tight on CPU it fits exactly - hence the F85 Suitcase.
EM/74 Therm/74 Kin/54 Exp/74 92k EHP
854DPS with Dreks skills and T1 Ogres (T2 in 13!) 923DPS wit T2 Ogres!
1000m/s, Cap lasts 1m24 wit MWD on full burn cap stable without.
I'm liking the look of this alot. It's got some good gank with a reasonable tank. Cant wait to fly it.  It's been a lonnnng wait. 
---------
I had something important to put here but CCP decided in thier infinite wisdom to keep this space as small as possible. Thanks. |

Drek, I am still fairly new to EVE, so what exactly was the torp buff? I was under the impression that Cruises tended to do better because of the ship's 5% ROF bonus, but then again, I am still rubbing off that newb sticker. ;)

torps used to be long range / medium damage. the range was reduced incrementaly to damage increasing.
therefore torps are now very effective close range (up to 20km) but useless long range.
also you should note that the tyhpoon is best with high skills as it uses split weapon system - guns / missiles / drones.
this means that to truly maximise damage potential u need max gun / missile and drone skills, which most people dont have.
it can be ok with low skills, but can be great with high skills.

Yeah appologies Belcour i assumed you were a bit less of a 'newb' so posted quite a high skilled setup. What Slothe said is pretty much spot on when it comes to the Phoon.
Try the Hurricane first before you take the Phoon route. (if you havent already)..Doesn't need huge skills to be good.

No worries Drek. I do have a Hurricane that is mainly PVE right now(6 cannons, heavy launcher and salvage). For Torps, how effective are they against smaller targets? I am under the impression the autocannons can track well enough(I have Motion Prediction IV atm)

Not sure what you're getting at with this but the phoon's 5% missile RoF bonus applies to Cruise and Siege (torpedo) launchers, not just cruise missiles.

Did I mention I have hysterical illiteracy? ;-) I must have missed that while reading the ship descriptions.

sorry to burst your bubble dude but the phoon need HIGH skills in many areas to shine...i would recomend the hurricane or if you realy want a BS the tempest.
but if you realy want the phoon fit:
4 torp laucnhers
4 425 autos
1 MWD
1 web
1 20km scram
1 heavy injector
2 large reps
2 EANM 2
1 suitcase 2
1 BCU or RCU
1 RCU
and if you can afford it
3 trimark rigs
drones should be ogres and a flight of warrios 2s
but i REALY recomend you try a diffrent ship untill your skills are up to do the phoon justice...
