Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 17/04/2008 10:22:23 Okay, some friends and I are in a discussion right now.
They are claiming that the named rats (not faction rats) are tech 2.
This would include Guardian, Loyal, Arch, Elder and Dires. While they boast slightly higher HP and better resistances, their models are the same and that brings me to conclude they are not tech 2, just tougher rats. They typically use ewar considerably more effectively (web/scram, tracking disrupt, jamming, nos, etc) and have a slightly higher bounty.
Additionally, they drop tech 1 salvage. So that's a fairly good indicator. The only rats that do drop tech 2 salvage are faction spawns, which holds true to PC ships that are faction ships also dropping tech 2 salvage.
ARE THEY TECH 2?

They're "Elite".
Whatever the hell that means.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

Someone asked this at the last Fanfest. I think it was Ouver who replied "who said they were tech 2?".
It's probably best to think of them as tech 2 - they have higher resistances and they use EW a lot. -- Ralara / Ralarina

I have a problem with this.
I fly a tech 1 cruiser into PVP. If I use EW am I tech 2? |

I'd say they are T1, just got a proper fitting to make them actually somewhat challenging. Not just your two weapons, MWD, single booster/repper throwaway crap that normal rats are. |

If I could reach the resists some of those "T1 ship with proper fitting" reach I would be very happy (not for the damage trough).

these ships are in the design of faction ships, i have seen a few of these in missions myself. mainly daredevil class friagtes and vigilant class cruisers, these ships require a pilot with skills in two races, slightly better than a T1 design of the same ship class

Tech 1 with better fittings, then of courrse you have named pilots which are better by virtue of being pod pilots and plugged in to their ships...
Or this has always been my understanding.

If your T1 cruiser lasts more than 8 seconds against a HAC, then yes, you're flying a T2 cruiser. ^_^ |
