I am looking to see if it is possible to destroy frigs and cruiser size ships with a phoenix?

Sure, just use anything heavy missile sized and lower on your phoenix and you'll be fine.

You can hit them. But even under the best circumstances you are only going to do around 80-90 damage per voley.

Well, you can sit on station and try to blap people like this chap...

Confirming trying to dock while sieged is a great idea....

A Phoenix is the best dreadnought for hitting small ships. While turret-based dreads will very often miss because of tracking, your citadel missiles will always hit, if the target is within range!

Best of all, they'll do very little damage so you can go on hitting your target for a very long time!

I reckon I participated in the kill of a LOLfit Pheonix fit while flying a AB apoc. Them citadel torps would hit me for some silly low numbers such as 4.3 HP per salvos.

Not worth writing home about....

It knows what you think.

With smartbombs, yes.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

This would do a wooping 133 dps to a afterburner rifter or 1877 dps to a mwd hurricane, you just gotta make sure to get into web range before siegeing :>

That's why you should fit a MWD Roll

I've always wanted to try closing a wormhole with a MWD plated Phoenix. In one go. In, and back, and blam; hole's dead.

The Phoenix has a turret slot. Drop a Citadel Launcher and fit artillery!

Drone bandwidth appears to be greater than 25, so sure, why not.

If you mean with your turrets/missiles, though... I wouldn't lay money on that one.

All dreads had their drones removed in Crucible Blink
