Aoife Baelish	Posted - 2008.04.22 12:39:00 - [1] Edited by: Aoife Baelish on 22/04/2008 12:39:35 And the coolest :P. A friend and I are really interested in flying interceptors. We play Caldari and Amarr, and we love the Crow and the Malediction respectively. Since malediction is considered by some the best tackling inty, and crow the most offensive one, the damage of the two combined could easily break tanks, and two ceptors together are unbeatable by a single cruiser (the primary can always move away and rep while the other one tanks) Would this duo then be the "perfect anti-cruiser-and-below" pirate frigate duo, apart from teams consisting on Elec attack frigates? If so, can you give me any tip on how should we make our setups in order to get the best performance? Anything else than the standard setups? Last: If you had to add a third ship to the group, what would it be? Thanks.
Lyria Skydancer Amarr Home 0f Bored Occultists	Posted - 2008.04.22 12:45:00 - [2] Id say the perfect duo would be 2 taranii with gank fits. Cruisers will melt under the firepower before they can react and frigs/inties are easy pray with overheat. Overheat mwd, overheat web, lock down, pwn face, collect win.
Helldrek Demonstar Wreckless Abandon Un-Natural Selection	Posted - 2008.04.22 12:46:00 - [3] Mm, not really. They both suck at dealing damage. Not that they're not cool ships, but it's the DPS. Meet a passive tanker and you' ll be there to the downtime. I'd say stay in your ceptors for the otherwise awesome tackling abilities, and let someone else do the damage. If you want something speedy and cheap, get a stabber to follow you around. Otherwise, a rupture/thorax, or even a blackbird. The latter, however lacks DPS again. That or another ceptor like crusader or ranis, they should do ok in damage in speed but lack in about everything else.
Tregaron Minmatar Filthy Scum	Posted - 2008.04.22 12:54:00 - [4] manticore's give you damage :)

Brea Lafail	Posted - 2008.04.22 13:18:00 - [6] Fit the crow like this and you'll be fine.
Dheorl The Scope	Posted - 2008.04.22 13:35:00 - [7] Originally by: Lyria Skydancer Id say the perfect duo would be 2 taranii with gank fits. Cruisers will melt under the firepower before they can react and frigs/inties are easy pray with overheat. Overheat mwd, overheat web, lock down, pwn face, collect win. Just a quick point to make and I know I'll get flamed at for saying this but don't try it against an experienced sentinel pilot (well if there is 2 of you both in taranis you should be fine). After a pulse of all those modules and then a cycle or 2 of neut your cap will be gone by the time you get in range and then you have 4 warrior II's to worry about. Originally by: Red Wid0w Crow is the least offensive inty. Take a closer look at it's DPS output. I think that prize would have to go to stiletto. considering it can fire with no worry about transversal and from a very good distance crow dps isn't actuallt THAT bad. Mine is getting 65ish atm I think (not sure exactly, will figure it out when I can get back on). To the OP if you were gona take a third ship I would say the sentinel (I know, that thing again). It will help shut down any tank that you find a bit too hard to deal with just dps and is also a pretty good fast dps frig itself (that doesn't have to go into web range to do its dps).

You've got balls quoting Lyria Skydancer and mentioning sentinels in the same post :P I like the sentinel myself too, so I might work into it :) Thanks.

I've already had a fat argument with lyria about this and I think I won (either way until she duels me she doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to how effective sentinels are IMO). Only problem with sentinels is ligh drones (unless you pimp it) but with 2 crows flying with you they should be able to pop any light drones the ship may have before they can pop you.
Alowishus mUfFiN fAcToRy Sex Panthers	Posted - 2008.04.22 13:53:00 - [10] Originally by: Brea Lafail Fit the crow like this and you'll be fine. That is the most badass Crow of all time. Go to the Tri board and look at the solo kills she got in it.

I'm more interested as to wtf the passive drake that she killed was doing (unless it was already being attacked by rats which for some reason didn't show up on the killmail)
Triksterism Gallente Image Not Found	Posted - 2008.04.22 17:05:00 - [18] Edited by: Triksterism on 22/04/2008 17:14:19 Indulge yourselves. Faction Crow Inertia Stabilizers II Overdrive Injector System II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Gistii B-Type 1MN MicroWarpdrive Warp Disruptor II Balmer Series Targeting Inhibitor I, Tracking Speed Disruption TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile Salvager I Polycarbon Engine Housing I Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I *With the above setup I do about 7.8k normal and 10.8k overloaded. I turn on a dime and even dual webs you can glide through if you know what you're doing.* T2 Crow Overdrive Injector System II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Nanofiber Internal Structure II 1MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II Cap Recharger II TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Caldari Navy Bloodclaw Light Missile [empty high slot] Auxiliary Thrusters I [empty rig slot] At about 60mil less than the faction setup, this is a very good choice in any gang. Seriously, can't go wrong with the crow. With my skills I hit 6.9k normal and about 10.1k in overload. Again, turns nicely. EXAMPLES http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=797 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=675 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=650 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=625 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=615 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=491 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=494 http://inf.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=630 Closing Thoughts You can easily make Crows go faster by using only overdrives, but the Crow becomes very vulnerable when turning so it's extremely nice to have some good agility. It'll save your ass. Of course, the 3x overdrives would be nice if you need to chase down and web a vaga for some sacrificial reason shrug Also... Interceptors kick ass.
Greenbolt Minmatar Un4seen Development	Posted - 2008.04.22 18:10:00 - [19] Edited by: Greenbolt on 22/04/2008 18:11:09 Ran into a pair of ceptors hunting ratters and haulers in 0.0. Nasty creatures...hard to pin down and if your in a ratter or hauler..very deadly. They were gisti-b fit with other t2 and some faction gear. Got one by luck..pilot mistook my rapier for the reaper her partner had chased through a gate never was able to corner the other. And they did get several kills on friendlies who didnt get the word fast enough. So they do make a good combination as long as you pick your targets and dont get a bit too arrogant around rapiers.

Or any number of other ones. The solo kills Evil Edna got in that Crow were amazing. Period. Join The Muffin Factory
Dheorl The Scope	Posted - 2008.04.22 21:00:00 - [22] Originally by: Liang Nuren Originally by: Dheorl I'd consider that a OMG worthy kill if it actually had any tank at all, I mean it doesn't even have a suitcase on it.

Like I said some of them are pretty impressive but some of them are just silly, they must have had other partys which didn't show up on the killmail or she found them just sitting around already with alot of damage (in which case they deserve to die). I also don't get why spend quite that much, my crow fit is only a tiny bit slower (still easily fast enough to survive well) but can do more damage and costs less than 100th of the price. I suppose just to show off a bit but meh.
Brea Lafail	Posted - 2008.04.22 22:34:00 - [23] My only problem with that crow are the officer BCU (Estamel, no less) and tech2 rigs, thing would have cost a fraction as much using faction with t1 rigs. Possible got painted or bumped on a roid/gate to let those cruises do any damage. Back to OPs topic, a pair of inties is a pain to catch, but I wouldn't expect too many kills. Also remember about gate guns in low-sec.
