Golem for level 4s to earn isk to buy PvP ships.

Please PvP in a Golem, it'll be hilarious.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Golem coz when u fly it you have to repeat "Pweciouss my pweciouss" over and over till the gankers turn up.

Make sure its officer fit for even more pwecioussness!

Rifter. I'd recommend a good T1 frigate but you don't deserve it.

Seriously though, you will die so many times when you start PvP that you need to start small. And frigate fights are in some ways more challenging than larger ship fights.

I'm no expert in mission running and I generally prefer a smaller ship than a battleship for L4s in any case, but for what it's worth though I would look at a SNI over and above Golem and CNI/CNR. Most dedicated mission runners I know however use different ships for different missions, and don't "put their eggs in one basket" as it were.

So along with the others, I have to say that asking which ship is better isn't really a question that should be asked. The third law of EVE is "fly the right ship for the right circumstance," and since you know the exact circumstance you'll be in on a per mission basis the question you should be asking is "what ship should I fly for this mission?"

*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal

I personally would recommend the Breacher. It is now probably my favourite T1 frig for PvP. And as a missile user like myself you will probably agree once you use it. If you pick your targets right you can kill certain cruisers solo in it given the right fit. Rockets, AB, web, scram, and as much tank and DPS mods as you can fit on. Orbit at your maximum tackle range and apply full DPS with rockets. Pick targets with very low range or really bad tracking. Any cruiser that uses the smaller medium blasters (thorax) will get well and truly owned. Also, artillery using cruisers will be killed fairly easily by you so long as you orbit as close as possible.

SRY whats an RNE? Shocked

I know theres a CNR which is slightly similar to the Golem cos its the same hull

You need to define more on your question

? <--- doesnt help

If you had actually asked the question correctly you wouldnt have fed the cute lil monsters on the forum that are ready and willing to tear any question on the forum apart. Twisted. And to react to it *facepalm*

But

Golem is basically left for pve. Yes they have decent (well sort of) DPS but as there a marauder there extremly easy to jam so your dps is more usefull than my wifes farts.

Anyway if your going to need a pvp ship use a basic raven and not a CNR (RNE <--- still trying to figure this out).

Those nice lil angry targets will drop everything they can to get on a CNR kill.

Quoting "you will die" in EvE is fail Chars dont die in EvE. Unless you have a heart attack eek.

The weak sensor strength and scan resolution of the Golem, kind of rules it out by default

I've seen the use of Golems in AT matchups, but it would be unfair to compare AT to the average day pvp in New Eden.

Sure, golem is nice, if you don't mind being ECM-ed all the time. Lol

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Golem obviously, with the extra high slots you can fit more cap warefare mods.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Why did I even try to salvage this thread? Oh well, I did. At least it is a lot shorter now.....
Keep it on topic and above all civil people! That goes both ways by btw.

Also, this thread has been moved to Ships & Modules.

The rules:

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


22. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

personally I'd go with the navy raven, more hp and more speed, the painter bonus is pretty nice but the weak grav strength is pretty sucky for the golem.

Assuming I had a proper fleet backing me up, I'd choose the RNI (I assume that's what the OP meant by "RNE"). It'll hit smaller ships harder thanks to the new bonuses, it's about 400 million cheaper, it's got a stronger sensor strength so it's not as easy to jam out, and in a PVP scenario, I honestly can't see any advantage that the Golem has over the RNI.

Well, aside from the CNR using twice as much ammo per salvo, but that's a minor consideration for PVP - I've never been in a PVP engagement where I came home in my ship with an empty shot locker.
