Seriously CCP. I thank you again for the changes to the hull. It looks absolutely fantastic. It is still just as what I view it as since you first changed it. My love only grows as each day passes. At this rate, I'm never flying another hull. The Vindicator looks too sexy.

Good job CCP. Good job.

I 100% agree with this, the mega is by far the sexiest Subcap Hull.

I have the skills for, but have never flown one.

Is it worth buying one for lvl 4 missions, or is it, as I have always presumed, more of a pvp ship?

Edit - it is by far; the best looking ship in Eve.

It already was the best looking ship in game, now its even better.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I have to agree, its the best looking subcap by far.

It is great for L4s. Blaster null shield gank fit. Pure win

I'd probably get flamed for this set up. But I wanted it to be cap stable with MWD off with a 900DPS tank. I don't pay attention when I L4. I just turn the guns on. Two minutes later turn them back on again. Not efficient, but I am lazy and do other things while it is tanking.

Some stats with nearly perfect skills.

896 with Null @ 18+34KM
1255 with Void @ 9.5+12KM
887 shield tank

A beast for my purposes. You can definitely fit this better for a blitz fit. But this is best for myself. Tank all missions without a sweat and be AFK lol

Thanks.

I may well buy one just for the pleasure of owning the best looking ship in the game.

That it can run lvl 4 missions is a bonus.

Bah!

New stabber is the best hull in game now.!! Even beats the arbi hulls now!

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

I'll respectfully diagree. I don't hate the Mega, but the 'bridge' portion reminds me too much of a real-world supertanker.

I agree with what you say, but for me, this is what works for the Megathron.

We all know how massive a super-tanker looks in real life, and I think at an almost subliminal level, this carries into how one sees the Megathron.

Massive and imposing.

The Megathron just has battle-field 'presence' allied to graceful lines.
