Drake, Harbinger or Hurricane is your best bets imo.

Edited by: Misanth on 04/02/2009 18:35:05 "Better" is very subjective. What for? Solo, small gang, middle size, big gank (uhm don't use BC there, e-war cruiser do better)? It affects the approach to the fight, range, etc, variables that are quite important to consider.
Originally by: Sidus Isaacs Drake, Harbinger or Hurricane is your best bets imo.
..but that's a good generalisation tbh. 
If you got access to all weaponry and tanks, I'd prolly roll with the Harbinger just because the dronebay/mids offers very sexy utility (that Amarr isn't very spoiled with). But I like the Drake and the Hurricane is awsome as well. Three very good allrounded PvP ships overall.
Edited for clarity. |

Don't forget the Brutix or Myrmidon, which are both pretty awesome. |

Brutix - Most bang for the buck Drake - Best for specific tasks, strong solo ship Hurricane - Best all-round

Edited by: Julius Romanus on 04/02/2009 20:49:38 Unrigged the Harbinger can either do a ton of damage, or do a good bit of damage and take a beating. Rigged the thing is a monster(similar to a ham drake in that regard), but you're better off spending the same money on a unrigged Geddon. ------------------ For Medicinal Use Only. |

Mentioning Drake in this thread should be a crime. Harbinger will whop all 3 of them.

Actually the Drake is very stong, and can easily get over 500 dps, and sport a very sturdy tank to boot.

Edited by: Grista on 04/02/2009 22:10:06 Both the Hurricane and Harbinger are excellent pvp ships, for a variety of uses.
The Drake suffers from lower dps, but has very good tanking ability. People who fly these in gang generally will find they are primaried later in a fight.
There's no good reason to fly a Myrmidon over a Dominix, in my view, ever.

x7 Heavy Pulse T2
x1 Electrochem Injector x1 Warp Disruptor x1 Web x1 10mn AB t2
x3 Heat Sinks T2 x1 DCU T2 x1 EANM T2 x1 Medium Armor Repair T2
x5 Hammerheads T2 or x5 Medium ECM drones
811 DPS w/hammerheads. Not much survivability in there though, It's kill or be killed.
Drake EFT warriors, you'll likely lose quite a bit of that dps to the explosion velocity, and rightly so looking at the numbers your presenting on the dps and tank.

When conducting lowsec piracy solo in a Thorax, the two BC's I grew to fear the most are the Hurricane and the Myrmidon. I may not have been able to kill most Drakes, but they never had much of a chance to kill me, either, if I wanted to get out. Any other BC I could usually pop with a Gankerax before they could kill me.

those drake posts are far from eft warrioring.
those are just the facts of the drake, if fit out well and not for some nubalicious spongy crap tank they are by and large the greatest bc.

and your harby isn't gonna womp a cane, nor will it whomp my brutix for that matter. If you fit a scram on it then maybe due to kiting within scram range for your full dps.. but i always check two things before a serious engagement 1v1.. 1. does my opponent have a mwd or ab. 2. does my opponent have a scram or point (or both conceivably)
A harby is as nasty as a drake however as a gang ship due to it's ability to stay out of range with scorch ammo "SPEED + GANK = SPANK... Spank that ***** up" |

Agreed, drake can be the worst bc when fit with spr and shield rechargers or it can be one of the best bc's when fit with haml/bcu and mwd. Fit the drake (or any other ship) for the task at hand and it will be effective.

battlecruisers is probably teh most balanced ship class at the moment, dependent on fit drake, harbinger and hurricane are very very similar in overall performance.
for me the harbinger is best at the moment followed by the hurricane, but you have to be wary of ships getting inside your tracking on the harby.
and never underestimate any of the others when competantly flown and fitted . |
