Ships & Modules

Two old jokes come to mind:



Caldari PvP isn't bad they have some great options but its also important to note, Minmatar/Amarr/Gallente can do it so much better in all but ewar, especially when solo or in small gangs.



It's easy to see why the Caldari ships are so good. Missiles offer awesome damage projection while shield tanking has both a passive and active option, with the general 5% resist bonus greatly benefiting both styles, both these things lends itself well to PvE.

PVP, Solo.

Okay.

I really can't tell if the OP is a troll or really is just that stupid.

With the exception of ewar, Drake and Tengu (yay, they have a slightly better billion isk ship than the others, how wonderful) Caldari is totally overshadowed by Amarr and Winmatar.

To be fair, that is to some extent similar to the old 'I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you" between you and whoever's closest to them if they're using HMLs rather than HAMs (and who came up with the idea of killing things with unguided space-pig anyway?). Although, to continue being fair, whoever's closest should also be the hardest to kill off without a bunch of web/painter support so yeah, just damp it to hell and quit yer bitchin'

FIX'D

PVP
Victory

So is this a riddle? It's impossible to be victorious in PVP?

Damm that is right. All this trolling about Caldari being op has fried my brain.

Although the rest of your post was mostly incorrect, this sealed it for me. Rockets are quite possibly one of the best frigate weapons after blasters. A Hawk is easily competitive with either Minnie AF and in its armor fit owns both. The Hookbill is a brilliant combat frigate and tears Minnie frigs a new one. Admittedly the crow is ****.....the Merlin is great though.


As for Drakes not being good solo, there are plenty of Drake fits that are better or as good as any BC solo.

Edit. Had to add something about the Flycatcher, whilst it isnt as great as the Sabre. It drops bubbles just as well and when fit for it also tears frigates a new one. Does it do those jobs as well as the Sabre....no but that is less to do with the Flycatcher being bad than the Sabre being so much better than all the DICs.

Didn' say they were bad...they can be good. Its just they have some downsides. Once is range. rocket boats jumps the target th right way and yes I would put money on them. But if the caldari boat faiis to control range of combat (like against known kiters) it can get ugly. I liked what the rocekt buff did tbh. I just like minny flexibility with barrage and such more. And well crow does suck ass but even guy above admits that. hated flying it. voice comms sucked....hey you try not to die so fast...oh wait you are in a crow, nvm...:( Now manticore I do like as fave SB. CCP was very nice to us here. Love the mid slot layout. But I pack on stuff like ecm or damps and such for a well lets try not to die so fast ploy Here I differ form most...they like hounds and such. guess that shows I am not a caldari hater (actually started caldari, jsut a x-trained to minmatar).


Flycathcer I don't like for lack of a second low. Others get it to run a nano or ODII. Dictors are pretty much screwed in life....every m/s counts to get a good spread if double bubled or to not die in your own bubble if lucky. In my view anyway. Also fits like ass imo. Even single bubble I'll pick sbre since it gets more dps'y guns. Not blobbing the gate with 20 peeps. even the dictors need to pack some heat to drop stuff quicker.

Drake....if target is speed and sig tanking its just a drawn out affair. You might get some damage spikes when they spank mwd, about it. Beyond that its salvo after salvo of crappish dps against fast movjng targets with low sigs. At least with guns if you fly well, take away the targets traversal once in a while you get damage spikes more consistently. Better your rof, more you get your shots in when this happens. Why i don't like drake . Others mileage may vary.

Drakes and Tengus need a nerf
