Pros:
It's cheap
Very flexible DPS (optimals from 20KM to 150 with T2 ammos, and everything inbetween)
Good Alpha, Good DPS
Very high resists (hi scimi friends)
You are still talking about the eagle, right? |

You are still talking about the eagle, right? Yes, it's "good"....not very good, and not great. But as I said, it's on par with a sniper fit diemost. So to sum it up, it's viable...certainly not the best for this role...but who wants to fly the same ship (ie a muninn) all the time?
No dispute from me, it is "viable." And certainly anyone who can fly one is free to do so at their whim. I was just wanting to know if you knew something I did not. As far as I am aware the eagle has the lowest alpha and dps of the hac crowd.
Taking _extreme_ range into account, of course it does out-alpha/dps things that other targets simply cannot reach. Perhaps that is what you meant? |

What I mean is that post hybrid buff I think an Eagle should be considered respectable even at typical (non-extreme) ranges particularly given the cost of the ship compared to others in the same role.
Not terribly convinced of this myself, but ok. |

No disputing the optimal bonus works out great on some ships, but trying to extrapolate that into optimal bonuses are huge in general doesn't really fit. The optimal bonus hybrid ships are a mixed bag. The harpy wasn't terrible pre-buff, no suprise that it is OP now. The eagle, otoh, was terrible and is still terrible. If the ship with not one, but two range bonuses is terrible, that doesn't say much for your thesis statement. |

Pretty sure the Harpy has 2 optimal bonuses? ;-) That said, give the Eagle a 25m^3 drone bay and unbrick it and it'd be ******* pimp. -Liang
Can't think tonight, have the dumb.
Anyhow, definitely in support of those suggestions. |
