Minmatar transport ships are a joke now that agility doesn't matter anymore.
Prowler: rigged = 8700 m3? Two high slots? Maybe this made sense in the old days when speed and agility could be used to get though gate camps.
So, in light of this completely horrible line of transports, I am proposing a new role for the Prowler.
Please give me feedback on this fit:
[Prowler, Finally A Use For This Ship] Reactor Control Unit II Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Invulnerability Field II Warp Disruptor II 10MN MicroWarpdrive II
200mm AutoCannon II, Arch Angel EMP S Rocket Launcher II, Guristas Gremlin Rocket
Flies fast enough to tank most heavy weapons. Pushes out 43+ DPS.
If you want to, you can remove one of the weapons, fit a cloak and get the JUMP on people!
What do you think, guys?

Edited by: Drake Draconis on 21/11/2008 19:13:09 Dude you just made me throw up on my laptop.
I drive a prowler fer-cryin out loud.
Go grab a covert ops cloaking field and grow up! Sheesh!
The only thing a Prowler could use is a bigger power grid and 2 more low slots.
That would realllly help.
otherwise its just a good little sneaky ####### of a transport. But not the best... that I can agree with.
Blockade runners are not combat ships... they are supposed to get in... get out... and not get killed. Simple as that. |

Cov ops cloak seems like a good idea ... the big question then is: do you drop the rocket launcher or the AutoCannon?
That will depend on skill ofc, but AC has better range with t2 Barrage ammo. |

Why bother arming the ship in the first place?
You won't do a enough damage to be worth anything... you won't even be able to tank a full on gate camp.
Your better off fitting for speed and stealth and gettin the hell outa there.
Your a industrial ship designed for abuse... not a bloody gun boat.

Add to that EPIC Fail while your at it.
I'm sorry... but if your going to pull shenanigans like that... you might as well go fit yourself a Battlecruiser or something and slap some cargohold expanders on it at that rate.
/me thumbs down major
Don't come crying when you get ganked at a gate camp : O P |

Fitting weapons to a Prowler (and no cloak??) means you might actually use them by mistake, get an agression timer, and not be able to jump through a gate or dock at a critical moment. Bad idea.
Before the patch, Prowlers were great, now they are even better. Even resists means that a couple shield extenders make it tank nicely for Empire travel, and for 0.0 it makes sense to fit a mwd. Use lows for agility or speed unless you need cargo capacity, in which case you can use extenders more readily now that you can fit a cov ops cloak. |

bad troll, prowlers 2 highs with it's new cov ops role might make it a very nice ship for cov op gangs and the only area where we do well. we get boned pretty hard for most of haulers getting lowest haul amount for a couple seconds align time (if u aren't web tricking) and speed when you are afk auto piloting. Hell for t1 haulers we aren't even the fastest, impel is fastest and it makes a decent hauler while being able to train for it in a couple hours.
ccp fix mining agent missions % pls |

This is a PVP fit, friend.
