So I've fallen in love with the Cruor and am in the prosess of making a SiSi client to start testing the Ashimmu. I have a feeling it will be very bad and fustrating.
Now I have talked a lot of smack about this hull in the past and I think my fears are right and its not good enuff with the bonus it has. I know my gut is going to want to make it kite like its little brother the Cruor and its amarr and minmatar T2 cousons the Curse and Huginn. Now most of the builds I see and can find are buffer tanked slow boats with plates and armour rigs, and duel webbs and often times 3 guns.
Any feed back from any one that flys them and there favoret fits would be helpfull. My first runs will most likely ape my Crour fit and be duel rep and NOS based, speed fit and fast locking will this work?

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Kite or close doesnt matter nor does your tank. As long as you engage something that needs cap you'll be fine. If not you're screwed.

Pick your targets well and you'll love it, choose poorly and you'll hate it...

It only has 3 turret hardpoints, with a 100% damage bonus, but I assume you looked that up before talking **** about it, right?

It's best used as a support ship on gate camps. Any other situation it fares poorly due to it's low ehp and the fact it's a close range brawler. Get slaves and or bring a logi unless you want to lose it the first time you bring it out.

Well I'll admit I look at these ships through the eyes of an Ewar pilot so DPS is bottom of the pile. I'm just thrilled to have a pirate ship with two Ewar bonuses. Not shure if I wouldn't want more cap war fair I mean if I could fly a Bel I would just put nuets in it and larf like a mad man as I smash the most cap you can ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ashimmu does not beat the Curse (or even the Pilgrim) at being a neut boat, and it is far more expensive. To get your money's worth with it, you have to realize that compared to the Pilgrim/Curse it:


  • Is tankier
  • Does more damage (6x laser turrets worth)
  • Has uber-webs


If you're not taking advantage of all of those, you are probably doing something wrong, and should be using a different ship.

Ya one I post from work well losing ships on sisi I tend to take on a grim and demeaning tone.
Any way lost over 12 ashies now and am kinda sad, it just dose one thing and its not a thing that's unique. It also dose it worse than other hulls. I really wanted it to be a big Cruor but its more like a slow curse with more paper DPS and an armour tank.
I'll be on for more in 4 hours, in black rise on sisi looking to scrap in FW plewes.
