Ships & Modules

I've been looking around and doing some experimenting and I've decided it isn't enough... so I am here looking for more PVP Cyclone fits to goof around with.

Show me what you got :) I hope to be amazed!

haha

cyclone blows since the 'rebalance'

only thing going for it is the tank with the op asb

the only semi decent way to fit it is with HAMs and dual xlasb which needs like 4 ******* fitting mods.
no web means HAMs aint gonna do you much anyways

that lol fit above would not recommend, even with 3 bcu you'll be lucky for 300 dps

stick with the hurricane even though they nerfed the **** out of it too.

-carb

468 DPS combined, with 35k eHP plus 41k eHP from the XLASB. A smartbomb against drones, a sensor strength of 30 against ECM and all for 50m ISKs.

I don't get these "The cyclone is crap" things

Its fastish, it has a pretty decent tank, alright dps and it can fit two neuts.

Thats pretty good.

I really miss when using an XL on a BC meant you were sacrificing all your cap =<

Are you suggesting it should be able to fit two xl's without fitting mods? I thought it fitted fine with one.. could have sworn i had a fit like that although i might be wrong.

So you want to be able to fit an oversized tank mod, a full rack of damage amps and two neuts without a cpu mod? really?



There

510 dps with faction, 571 with rage,
70675 Ehp after you unload your booster (Double LSE drake gets what.. 58k?)
77,8k with blue pill and that number goes to around 100k if you have lg/hg crystals

Add to that the fact that you go as fast as a attack BC... Yea this ship really isn't bad..


And if you're willing to spend 8 mill for some more dps you can do this




And if you have genolutions you can even do this




Nothing wrong with this ship, its pretty great.

Nanos help in making a tackle and holding it and when using double neuts. In so far does it make sense. It is also a fast BC and nanos capitalize on it.

I find web&scram combos less attractive the bigger a ship gets, because more ships (the smaller ones) are faster than your own and one is not really in control of tackling, but becomes more often the one who gets tackled. Web&scram is also not very attractive when using missiles and when one does not need to be very close to apply damage, but can keep a little distance to possibly reduce incoming damage from turrets. It is then a question of how important it is to stay at close range and how many med-slots one is willing to use for a tackle.

Ohh sorry, i didn't realize i was talking to someone who's awful.

Carry on.

And white you need the web to apply HAM damage, just look at some DPS charts.. The web is essential.

I must confess that I am biased towards liking the Cyclone because my real world battle cruiser is also a Cyclone.


I used them mainly for exploration back when rats could be encountered in exploration sites. An exploration fit cyclone, now an obsolete concept with the changes to exploration, MUST kite, and I had to put 100MN ABs on it. Yes, you can put the next size up AB on a cyclone, still fill up the high slot rack, and run cap stable. Probably not a good idea in PVP if yo can absorb the penalty of extra sig using an MWD. Also once you pick up speed in a straight line, you are doomed if you have to turn or align to warp off. It was good for kiting wide orbits in a site and dumping HMs on the rats.

Keep these fits coming - this ship with it's slot layout and drone bay is like a Mister Potatohead of battle cruisers. I wonder if they intended to make the Cyclone like this in the same manner that the Typhoon is in the Battle Ship class.
(Hence there will be just as much debate over fittings?)
