Ships & Modules

Its really Reeeeeeally pretty..


Ohh and it will outbrawl all other HAC's.. But noone uses HAC's to brawl..

So you're just going to get an expensive lossmail.

The Sac is for the following purpose

I want to make a medium term investment, so I'll buy 100 HACs in anticipation of the T2 Cruiser tiercide rebalance, but I can't find enough Eagles on the market.

As with most ships you can find use and purpose in bonuses and a general feel for a ship's stats.

I'm pretty sure i've mentioned this at least once before, but that thread was a good few months ago...

Prior to the latest creep (which left most HAC in a state; where whatever niche they have had made them appealing to some, who specialised in utilizing those niches; where other ships simply overtook most of those niches either directly, or indirectly [didn't take over role, but made the role itself less appealing), prior to that, the appeal in the Sacrilege lay in it's generous capacitor, room for fitting, midslots for an armor-tanker (with the resistance-profile and bonuses) cap-less weapons and drone-utility.

It made a decent active-tanked rush-brawler which lent itself well to dual-propping with an MWD-rush and AB-orbit with either a breaking neut or supporting nos (granted, neut is generally more appealing); similar to how some Frigates operate.

It also made a decent alternative in smaller AHAC-gangs as a support-HAC next to whatever was the mainline choice. For example: if you based around Deimos you'd weigh it's drones and neut against a Zealot's anti-support accuracy with Lasers. If you based it around Zealots you'd weigh that neut and drones against similar utility on the Gallente platforms. Most of the time it's value in relation to the other support provided would be limited, but not unheard of. In every regard it would be better than the options the old AC-Muninns provided. The bonuses never allowed for any other missile setup than HAM, which with the necessity to fit a med neut to fullfill it's role and appeal in the face of other HAC, made the fitting tight in total. Not impossible though.

You can weigh it's role similar to Amarr Recons in recon gangs or Neuting Legions in Tech III gangs (not including heavier drop-gangs, where full neut Legions specialize further and mimic Bhaals). The improved breaking-power overall is the appeal, while the ability to meet the basic averages in tank, damage and other support uphold it's potential place in gang.

These days of course, it's difficult motivating the use of any HAC in any situation; with both Tech I Cruisers, Tech III, Tier 2- and Tier 3 BC usurping most HAC-roles (along with CS-roles).

You field triple-reps and tank 2,5k dps with drugs/booster alt. However you will be hard pressed to do anything with that because your dps somewhat close to a shitfit destroyer.

The rest of the replies make me sad :(

Actually I'm aiming to fly the Sacrilege as well and was looking for tips. As far as I can see it's only useful as a support HAC like Noisrevbus said. Excellent in fact for small gangs , as a heavy tackler where you don't have logi anyway, but it starts to lose actually utility as the numbers go up or more specialised ships step in to fill the role.

All arguments are void though, cause it's cool-ass ship that throws HAMs and has armor.
