What the....?
I hope some day far into the future archaeology finds just this forum thread and uses it to decipher our language and culture. I can only imagine the crazy things they'd say... -- Distortion| Distortion 2 Preview |

I don't know what game you guys play, but I don't think you will ever find a 1v1 of this type in Eve. Perhaps on the test server you might, but that is a different story.
Drake is a great ship buffered tanked for gate camps, it sits there shoots missiles at targets. When things get rough , it has enough buffer to survive a few guys pounding on it to degress and jump. The buffer is what helps the drake the most because, if there is something big enough to force you to degress its going to hurt, and no amount of tank will help.
Most people will usually ignore drakes as primaries due to its notorious reputation for having lots of shield hit points. Its much easier to primary the guy trying to run repairers than the drake who usually has a good buffer and lacking in dps.
Oh and if you guys are comparing fits, you will always find a superior fitting/ship to counter it. This is what makes Eve such a great game, everything has a counter...
Counter to a HAM drake? how about a gank harbinger... yea around 700 dps dealing the right dmg type....

It will die under the sentries and you win.
So if you want to kill a passive tanked onyx all you need to do is neut it? even though its tank and weapons use no cap?
Remembering to bump it off of a gate helps too. I was in my curse and found an Onyx in lowsec - I was able to break his tank, but only because he was -9.3 and had sentry aggro, forever. I forgot to bump him off of the gate - I guess I was worried about him webbing me.
(He also wasn't webbing my drones although he was shooting them) (also he had no cap for anything ever) (i'm not very good at the game) __________________________________

The reason HICs were brought into the game was because of mother ships and other nasty cap ships making it near impossible to move through.
They have a powerful tank to tank some of the damage the cap ship might throw at it. But that has just been misused now so that it can tank sentry guns and other players.
They have no dps unless killing haulers. So they need a gang to camp or kill anything bigger than a cruiser. If there's one at a gate, just burn back and jump through.
HICs can use the bubble in low sec but not at a gate or station. I warped into a fight where were killing a carrier at a plex and we had one going.
On a final note, why did i see a whole load of people talking about drakes??

This is mostly a display bug, it shows the bubble but it is only focused at one target and donŠt hold other ships.
Other than this I agree with Gneez that passive Shield tanking on Hics are OP. I actualy can kill a BS with multiply 1600mm Plates and Trimarks faster with my Gank Mega than a Onyx, and this by using 3 MFS II, FN Antimatter, T2 Neutrons, max Skills and Implants(talking about killing a realy tanked Onyx with pure DPS solo without Sentrys).
Passive Tanking doesnŠt realy help vs Focus Fire, a HP Buffer does(LSE/1600mm) so the shield recharge rate of the Hics should be increased by 30-50%, so Fittings go more to Buffer style instead of fast recharge. Armortanking, buffed Hics are not the Problem, passive Tanked Shield Hics are in Low Sec, and this is where this ship are used way to often for my taste.
Note this is not a general nerf for Hics(wonŠt change a thing if 10 guyes calling you primary) but changes the "Im at your gate tanking your DPS + Sentrys." thing, what is realy anoying if you are not in a gank fitted BS. ---- Nerf Tank - Boost Gank!

Take it as a testament to yourself that the thread got 5 pages+ long.
Besides, you'd have to take yourself outside, and hit yourself so hard you wouldn't know what hit you.

Why? This thread delivers it all: PST'ing, Falcons, Drake vs. Hurricane, Harbinger vs. Hurricane, Slave sets, Armor vs shield Tanks, Active vs. Passive Tanks, an awesome post of Branko about the potential of the BCs at various ranges and ever so much more... I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this thread :)

Originally by: Gneeznow ...I think hictors should be allowed to use their focused point in low sec same as they cant use their bubble in low sec, instead they should have to fit a scram like other ships
Whoa! Back up a bit...I was gonna' get my main toon to train up for a HIC. I thought you could use that WDFG in low sec but not the bubble?
It's the other way around?
Focused can be used anywhere, bubble only in 0.0, this guy fails at typing. And i've never seen any problem with the HICs, to be honest. If a battleship cant shrug off the damage of a HIC, thats a very poorly tanked ship. Someone else already said all my points far more eloquently than i can though, so just refer back to that post.
