Malcanis R.E.C.O.N. The Firm.	Posted - 2008.12.23 08:41:00 - [31] Originally by: Kadoes Khan I would say the scorpion is the best 1v1 BS, same reason as the griffin is the best 1v1 frigate. If you don't understand go read a whine thread about ECM once in awhile. Hint: ECM hysteria is not the same as ECM reality.

Deschenus Maximus Amarr Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2008.12.23 10:52:00 - [33] Best 1v1 PvP: Dominix Worst 1v1 PvP: Scorpion Best group PvP: Geddon Worst group PvP: Tempest (just because it's terrible, overall) Best solo PvE: Raven (duh) Worst solo PvE: Scorpion Best group PvE: Raven Worst group PvE: Scorpion Overall Best Battleship: Armageddon Overall Worst Battleship: Tempest
maralt Minmatar The seers of truth	Posted - 2008.12.23 11:00:00 - [34] Best 1v1 PvP = Domi Worst 1v1 PvP = Raven Best group PvP = Geddon Worst group PvP = hyperion Overall Best Battleship = Amarr
Xanos Blackpaw Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2008.12.23 11:06:00 - [35] Best 1v1 PvP Dominix Worst 1v1 PvP scorpion Best group PvP Armageddon Worst group PvP hyperion Best solo PvE Apocalypse Worst solo PvE hyperion Best group PvE armageddon Worst group PvE hyperion Overall Best Battleship armageddon/dominix(geddon got more power but domi can do more things) Overall Worst Battleship hyperion(there isnt a single thing the mega wont do better!) Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi".
TrashTalkingForumWarrior	Posted - 2008.12.23 16:00:00 - [36] Another lame "best" thread.

If you don't understand go read a whine thread about ECM once in awhile. This is how I can tell you never do any solo pvp'ing. Scorp is horrible for 1v1. Reason; All you have to do is get 5 heavy drones on it to crack your tank, even if you permajam another battleship it can tank your damage output super easily. If/when you miss a cycle you'll cry even faster that you decided to 1v1 using a scorp.
Keitaro Baka Babylon Scientific and Industrial Enterprises Babylon Project	Posted - 2008.12.23 18:18:00 - [38] Edited by: Keitaro Baka on 23/12/2008 18:19:00 Best 1v1 PvP - Dominix Ok I'm biased, but my domi is a real tough cookie.. For a random 1v1 Worst 1v1 PvP - Abaddon Heh.. thing is, it only has 4 mids, it's quite easy to avoid damage (bad tracking, drains cap, 4 mids, most fit 8 guns = no neut), has a big tank sure.. but that just takes time, not skill. Best group PvP - Armageddon The remote rep armageddon is a beast if you group is useful Worst group PvP - Maelstrom Love the ship, but active tank bonus, AC ammo usage, overall projectile weakness.. it's not the best choice for group work Best solo PvE - Raven I love my domi, I really do, but someone with 10% of my sp could do em faster in a raven Worst solo PvE - Scorpion It utterly loses on dps, agility, boni Best group PvE - Dominix The ability to assist drones, remote rep and still have a huge local tank set it apart. Worst group PvE - Scorpion The ship was made for pvp. There are even better tanks. Overall Best Battleship - Ok, if I had perfect skills to chose any of the t1 bs .. I'd go .. Tempest .. First off, it's friggin' vertical. Second, it has speed, decent tank, 2 utility slots, it can snipe, it can AC but still at decent ranges and enough fitting for a good setup. The Rokh can do all these things too, and comes a close second with perfect skills for me in today's eve, however, the rokh is a lot more cap dependant, shield tanking is better than armour tanking, but not if you want to use some tackle, eccm, etc. I love my dominix, but the dps and fitting is kinda crap, drones can easily be destroyed and in pos/sniper/blob warfare it plain sux. Overall Worst Battleship - Even with perfect skills.. the Scorpion is a lovely ship, but so niche, so often primaried, so gimped.. if I would have to chose a worst it would have to be that ship. All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me.. Drone guide..
Deus Letus Chooch Inc.	Posted - 2008.12.23 20:13:00 - [39] Maybe I am confused but since when is megathron, raven, abbadon, hyperion etc. considered tier 1. I always looked at Tier 1 as the Geddon, domi, scorp and Typhoon. so on that note i would say best 1v1 pvp solo dominix worst 1v1 pvp solo scorp best group pvp - scorp worst group pvp - typhoon best solo pve - (who cares ) dominix worst solo pve - scorp best group pve - geddon worst group pve - scorp Overall best - Dominix overall worst - Typhoon (sorry but really dont know much about minmatar BB's to effectivley choose this one)

Omarvelous Destry's Lounge	Posted - 2008.12.23 20:48:00 - [41] Best BS: Anyone that I sit in. Worst BS: The one my target is piloting. I find the BS class to be one of the most well balanced ship classes. I like many things about each type of BS. My Fav BS to fly is the Rokh - although I've enjoyed the wtf reactions I get when I fly my dual cap-injected scorpion.
Dred 'Morte Woodland Creatures	Posted - 2008.12.23 21:01:00 - [42] best solo PvP: Abaddon best group PvP: Armageddon best solo PvE: Apocalypse best group PvE: Apocalypse Worst solo PvP: Raven Worst group PvP: Raven Worst solo PvE: Scorpion Worst group PvE: Scorpion I'm so biased
Dr Caligo	Posted - 2008.12.23 22:26:00 - [43] Edited by: Dr Caligo on 23/12/2008 22:26:33 You people that are claiming the hyp is best 1v1 bs are trippin. That ship gets spanked 1v1. Domi is best 1v1 bs by miles. A nightmare is good too but domi is a wee bit cheaper. geddon fit for damage in insane as well.
Prez21 coracao ardente Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.12.23 23:12:00 - [44] Best pvp 1v1- This one is very situational, i think for pirating the hype realy shines due to being able to fit a nice active tank, The domi and phoon are very good for there versatility and a tempest flown properly is a mean customer to deal with. worst pvp 1v1- Probably the raven just for its lack of abilty to hold a ship down and tank well Best group pvp- Has got to be the abaddon for me, i love the amount of dps it can put out at good ranges, high resists and armour and even better when using a slave set, but the maelstrom is pretty awesome aswel and im suprised how many people have overlooked a ship that can deal and tank over 1000 dps, where the abaddon shines for me in rr bs gangs i think the maelstrom shines in smaller gangs as a heavy dps ship with lots of support ships. worst group pvp- realy hard to say as all the bs are capable of doing a good job. Best solo pve - this one is a tie for me between the raven and maelstrom, i love the mael for pve and actualy prefer it and find it easier than i do when i use my alt with his raven but both ships have there good points. Never flown domi in pve Worst solo pve- more than likely the scorp due to its low dps overall best battleship- Tempest and abaddon completely personal reasons i just love those ships overall worst- rokh just cos i dont like it and it doesnt do anything special for me.
abrasive soap HOMELESS.	Posted - 2008.12.24 01:18:00 - [45] The typhoon can't be the worst at anything because it can do everything.

Dimitrios Ypsilanti	Posted - 2008.12.24 02:47:00 - [48] Originally by: abrasive soap The typhoon can't be the worst at anything because it can do everything. It's the only ship that's passible at everything. Consequently it's not terrific at anything.

Best group PvP Abaddon/Armageddon Worst group PvP Tempest Best solo PvE Raven Worst solo PvE Scorpion, hands down Best group PvE Tachyon Abaddon!!! Worst group PvE Scorpions and PVE don't mix Overall Best Battleship Dominix Overall Worst Battleship Dunno, they're all decent for PVP... Maelstrom I guess, but even that's okay. __________________________________ Originally by: Arthur Frayn How much to ruin all your holes, luv?

Corstaad Minmatar Vardr ok Lidskjalv	Posted - 2008.12.24 09:43:00 - [53] Best though I'd say is the mega.

Aleus Stygian Failed Diplomacy Collidable Objects	Posted - 2008.12.25 01:58:00 - [55] Edited by: Aleus Stygian on 25/12/2008 02:03:55 Originally by: Malcanis Hint: ECM hysteria is not the same as ECM reality. Tip: ECM hysteria is no worse than EWAR balancing denial. Best 1v1 PvP Battleship: The Scorpion, for a single reason; ECM fcks up everything. And while it won't get the job done quickly, it will get it done very safely. The Dominix is a very close runner-up here. Both ships are for cowards. Worst 1v1 PvP Battleship:* Can anyone say Rokh? Vulnerable to just about every single form of EWAR and capwar, slow, ungainly and inflexible. Best group PvP Battleship: Armageddon. A combination of that utility high, the dronebay and its fierce DPS and tankability lets it perform fantastically in groups. The second place is a tie between the Apocalypse and the Dominix, the former requiring unconventional setups for the part, the latter being the standard coward's fit. Worst group PvP Battleship: Maelstrom. Wrong bonuses, wrong slot layout, wrong guns. Second here comes the Raven. Best solo PvE Battlship: Raven, no doubt about it. For a couple mil skillpoints you get an easily fitted and insurable cash-cow that will last you all the way to a Golem. Worst solo PvE Battleship: Scorpion. Useless bonuses and lacking performance in the non-EWAR departments. Second on the list is the Tempest, but it's a far second. Best group PvE Battleship: Armageddon, once again. It can be fairly self-sustaining and nail down pretty much everything, while engaging in a remote-repping party that is hard to break. Second on the list is the Tempest, its obvious weaknesses negated by numbers and utility slots. Worst group PvE Battleship: Scorpion. For probably obvious reasons. All other ships have useful bonuses and better choices of weapons. Overall Best Battleship: Apocalypse. It's not the most flexible, it's not the most self-sufficient, but it does do what a battleship should do best, and assists its gang significantly. Overall Worst Battleship: Hyperion. It's got all the vulnerabilities of the Rokh, but lacks the latter one's focus and usefulness under certain circumstances. _________________________________________________________
Sir Hades Caldari Stimulus	Posted - 2008.12.25 03:00:00 - [56] Edited by: Sir Hades on 25/12/2008 03:01:20 Best 1v1 PvP - Mega. It is a simple ship. Just point it in the direction of the enemy, close range, pew pew. It can deal a lot of DPS and can fit a nice buffer tank. Worst 1v1 PvP - Scorp. Yes I know all about ECM. I know how effective it can be. But I also know how horrible it is when it fails. If you miss a jam, you now have chunks of your hull missing. Best group PvP - For large fleets, Apoc or Rokh. It can put out a lot of DPS from a long range and change change up it's range faster than any other sniper ship. The Rokh does **poor DPS but it can do it from ranges where only other Rokhs will hit you. For small gangs, I would say it is a tie between the Apoc, Domi, and Phoon. The Apoc does a lot of DPS and has a ridiculous range with scorch. The Domi is a workhorse. It can do everything. It can fire off RRs, while neuting enemies, and still blast crap with it's sentries. The Phoon is very similar to the Domi. You are only going to use one of the weapon systems and have 4 high slots open. They can be used for RRs or neuts. If you use torps, you are pushing out over 800 DPS and can neut and RR. Worst group PvP - For large battles, it would have to be the Hype. There is no point in using it because the Mega is cheaper. For small battles, it is the Scorp. Your hull says "PRIMARY" in big flashing letters. You were better off bringing a Falcon for your ECM support. Best solo PvE - Raven. A basic T1 fit Raven and breeze through LVL4 missions. Worst solo PvE - All else but Domi. The Domi can breeze though LVL4s as well, but it needs to make use of T2 equipment to do it. Best group PvE - Domi. Sentry drones track like beasts. Let the Raven focus on the larger stuff, you take care of the smaller things. Worst group PvE - Scorp. Silly Scorp, you are an ECM boat. You can't mission. You don't even have a use in the mission. Overall Best Battleship - Domi. It does not do anything "the best" but sometimes a jack of all trades ship is the best for your situation. Overall Worst Battleship -** Scorp and Hype. Listen, I know the Scorp has it's uses and it's fanbois, but for everything it can do, the Falcon can do it better. The Falcon can jam farther, with more efficiency, and warp cloaked. There is it's biggest advantage. You can wait until the enemy is engaging you and then uncloak and ruin their day. You can not do that with a Scorp. The Hype is only on this list because it really does not have a role. Whatever it can do, the Mega can do just as well but cheaper. About the only thing the Hype can do a bit better than the Mega is low sec piracy under gate guns do to it's armour rep bonus. It has a little edge there, but even still, the Megas did it just fine before the Hype was even out.
Artemis Rose Sileo In Pacis	Posted - 2008.12.25 04:35:00 - [57] Edited by: Artemis Rose on 25/12/2008 04:36:54 Originally by: Karasuman Best 1v1 PvP Worst 1v1 PvP Best would be either the Typhoon or the Domi. Flexible, utility high slots for neuts and a nice drone bay Worst would be the Scorp. ECM isn't that good solo, and the unbonused 6 high slots will not do any damage worth noting. Quote: Best group PvP Worst group PvP Scorpion really only shines in gangs, so I'd go with it here as the best one. Tempest for the worst. The extra mids/high slots are really some of the only things this ship has going for it, and in big groups and fleets, you just want DPS and Tank. Quote: Best solo PvE Worst solo PvE Best would be Domi, Raven, Abaddon depending on the missions/rats you are facing Worst would be Scorp. No DPS Quote: Best group PvE Worst group PvE Same as solo really. Quote: Overall Best Battleship Overall Worst Battleship Properly skilled and fitted, every BS can be a killer in a good pilots hands. They all have weak aspects and strong aspects, so its hard to pick the best and worst unless you know the role they will be in. *** Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine, Self Banstick +2 WTB: +666 E-peen killboard stats
Ghoest	Posted - 2008.12.25 06:03:00 - [58] Look at the low skill newbs saying the Phoon is bad at solo PVE. If you think corp is different than a guild or clan you have some insecurity issues.
Poast Warrior Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.12.25 07:49:00 - [59] Originally by: Vikarion No faction battleships, I assume? Best 1v1 PvP Megathron. Worst 1v1 PvP Raven My only comment. A spec'd Raven pilot will completely destroy a Mega. I know, I've done it plenty of times. Raven: 1061 DPS @ 30KM, cookie cutter fit (with a point, extender rigs, 2 large painter drones) 108K HP, 63/72 therm/kin resist and does 830 k/s. Variable damage type. Mega: 1143 DPS @ 5KM, cookie cutter fit (2 plates, 2 mag stabs, trimarks) 115K HP and does 815 k/s. Only does therm/kin. If the Raven can stay out of the Mega's optimal (which really isn't very hard) the Mega has no chance.
Taipan Leviathan Dark Star Confederation	Posted - 2008.12.26 11:44:00 - [60] Best 1v1 PvP Dominix (neuts kill you no matter what) Worst 1v1 PvP Raven (Unless its a torp raven.....and u are not paying attention.....and the pilot is chuck norris) Best group PvP Megathron for its buffer tank and rokh for its sniping capability's Worst group PvP Dominix (it always gets killed due to not being able to get his drones in fast enough) Best solo PvE Dominix AFK FTW Worst solo PvE Scorpion Best group PvE Dominix again. (remote reps) Worst group PvE (Scorpion) Overall Best Battleship Dominix (ugly but good) Overall Worst Battleship Dominix (good but ugly)
