Myrmidon because it's an upside down, mirrored Tornado.

It's also not a cruiser, though it is one of my favorite Gallente ships.

Tactical destroyers... I'll take a dozen Gallente, please.

What? No Indy love? Not one low sec hauler or 0.0 explorer? Are the Gallente cruisers that worthless to to Indy-ninjas?

Proteus.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

If you are talking tech I cruisers then either vexor or celestis (in the hope that they finally buff the damp boats within a year What?). If you like tackling and melting then you wil want a thorax instead. But the vexor and celstis are a little more versatile imo.

The exequror is a ship that CCP forgot. Maybe with the cruiser rebalance it will actually be able to fit some medium remote armor reppers, a tank, and power it all at the same time. However as it is now it is a peice of ****. Sad

That confused me when I was new as well.

A Proteus is a Strategic or Modular Cruiser. The Subsystems make up the ships stats, there are 4 for offense, 4 for defense, 4 for engines, 4 for fitting / capacitor and 4 for support and EWAR and other stats. You can fit one of each of the 4 on the ship and that decides the number of slots, where the slots are, its fitting, HP, Bonuses, Drone Bay and so on. Subsystems also change the appearance of the ship.

You make the ship basically out of these Subsystems with custom tailored looks and stats. Once you have the Subsystems attached you can then fit it like any other ship with normal ship modules like MWD's, DCU's, Guns and Rigs.

Meant for med-scale gangs (more than 10, less than 50 in your fleet) gangs. Sit back at risk-free range and point all the things. Pretty good resists, excellent EHP for a recon, fast enough to outrun anything other than straight nano and frigs. If you're having cap problems I feel bad for you son, got 99 problems but managing cap ain't one. Salvagers for getting dat phat money from dead T2/T3 ships.

That sounds like something a half dozen pirates might make fine use of

Proteus. extended tackle, full set of light and medium drones, bonus to mwd cap use, hybrid damage and power core, how can you go wrong with that? Twisted

Blod-red skies, strange beings, and the number 514, often written in blood.
