Ok, so I'mma get straight to the point, Navythron or a Kronos for level 4's ? Only thing I can think of a Kronos over a Navythron is the salvaging while missioning at the same time....help plz ?
All responses (positives) greatly appriciated  --------------------

I've never used either, but I imagine Kronos would be faster because of the salvaging while missioning.

less ammo use, pwnage web, easier to fit, better cap, and 8 effective guns on the kronos
navy meg more lowslots, better raw hitpoints, bigger drone bandwidth, easier to get into (cost and skill wise).
I would go with the kronos, look at the paladin fits, and just replace the guns with 425mm railguns, and drone bay with 3 sentries, 5 mediums. I fit a navythron up like that and it just does less damage and has less tank, and needs mostly faction fitting due to cpu

Thanks for reminding me of the paladin, that wakes up a question.
Tbh, I've been thinking of the Kronos because gallente is my second race, my primary is Amarr, but I'm currently doing (working on getting) lvl 4 agent for the gallente faction, so I figured that the Kronos would be better than the Paladin for most common missions that a gallente agent gives me, since it deals kinetic+thermic instead of em+thermic, or am I wrong here? could a paladin still be as effective or just useless s**t ? --------------------

Either a Kronos or a sentry-drone-plus-railgun Dominix, tbfh. The Dominix can out-damage either version of the Megathron while tanking quite well and having more of its damage able to hit more things due to the enhanced tracking of sentry drones at closer ranges, especially with 2x Omnidirectional Tracking Links. ----

Edited by: royal killer on 20/10/2008 01:10:19 Hitting spider drones at 5k with 425mm's not good tracking enough ? I'd love to see my sentry drones do that...
edit: Of course putting the web bonus into use and fitting a web on it. --------------------

kronos should do better against guristas/serpentis, paladin against just about everything else, however for angels I have no idea what to use. paladin doesn't seem to do too bad against them. but I haven't really looked past the shoot explosive at them.

For angels, use 4 t2 neutron blasters on kronos and 5 t2 heavy drones. You can easily pop angel ships since they come real close.

Personally, I wouldn't pack 5 heavy drones onto a kronos. The fact that you can only have 3 of them out at once screws with the thought.
Max drone DPS with 75mbit bandwidth comes from 2 heavies, 2 mediums, and 1 light. The only thing I'd consider packing in on top of that in the other 50m3 of drone bay would be 5 more medium drones in case there's anything the heavies are having problems hitting that needs more dps than the 2 mediums and light can put out. ____________________

Edited by: The Djego on 20/10/2008 11:24:47 Damage on both ships are mostly equal(Navythron has a bit more bite in my Opinion). Kronos has the advantage in the Fitting, the Tank, nice Web and the Tractor Beams. If you donŠt loot, know how to manage Missions with a more Buffer style tank and know how to slove CPU Issues with some Mods there is not a big diffrence between both in the end.
Both in action, quite good ships in the right hands:

Kronos without a doubt.
I flew the Navy mega for a fair while and a couple of weeks ago switched to the Kronos. The Kronos is easy mode.

I use a run of the mill pulse apoc, a paladin would be quite sufficient. __________________________________

I recently bought a nightmare, and have been switching back and forth between that and the kronos. To answer the first question about kronos or navy mega, I would do kronos. The easier fitting, more effective turrets, and the web bonus all give it major advantages imo. If you get a faction webber, that web bonus just becomes even nicer .
As for the lasers vs the rails, well, I have almost maxed skills for gunnery for the kronos (damage wise, I'm only missing large rail spec lvl 5). I have caldari bs lvl 3, and large energy turret lvl 4 for the nightmare, and with a tach setup, on missions with more small ships than large the nightmare is almost equal speed. Against more large ships, it shifts in favor of the kronos, but I imagine that will change once I get t2 tachs and caldari bs lvl 5. This is including against angels (got buzz kill twice in a row last night ), as well as agianst serps, though against guristas the kronos still appears to be better.

The Nightmare does more dmg than the Paladin IIRC, but I have very good amarrian skills, so a paladin with 2-3 faction heat sinks, it might do the job wel --------------------

That's what the Golly is for, of course. -NM/Pally for Blood, Sansha, Drones, EoM, Mercs -Golly for Angels, Serps, Mercs, Sansha, Blood (The TD can drive a turret user crazy sometimes) -Khrony/NavThron for Guri, Serp, EoM, Mercs(Damsel w/ Blasters) -Domi/Ishtar for afking -Domi for Guri firesupport (ie. non-tanking gunboat), or 2nd ship as tank+droneage against all races for low workload multiaccounting. -Khrony/Pally for salvaging
Hmm, might have forgot some races from some boats, but that's a proper missioneers arsenal. Don't settle for anything less  |

Whilst I'm not a hardcore mission runner at all I do have a Kronos setup for missions .
And really, it works quite well.
Using Highs: 4 425s II, 1 tractor beam, 2 salvagers. Mids: 100mn ab II, 3 cap recharger IIs, replace with a web if you want to, but as I don't use any faction stuff I prefer the extra recharge rate. Lows: 1 LAR II, DCU II, 2 hardeners and 1/2 EANM II, 1/2 Mag stab II.
As drones I just use hammerhead IIs, mostly, haven't tried out sentry drones yet.
Oh yeah I run missions for Caldari, some gallente missions give you the opportunity to fit blasters, which is even more fun .
I am a little biased though as I got marauders V, it really helps with tanking and tracking.

Hmm, interesting points been posted so far....I will go on the test server and test the Paladin against guristas and serpentis rats (I have a caldari agent so), will get a better look of how the Paladin does against them then --------------------

I found the Paladin works best against Blood Raiders and Serpentis and thus should work fine if you're running missions for Gallente.
Against Sanshas it works best among the Gunboats; the range on my Tachyons with Microwaves dropped from 90km to 10km when they activated their tracking disruptors ... but once that is gone it's pretty fast.
It does not perform well vs Guristas ... it's doable but you will notice that it takes more time.
Hope this helps.
