Well, I guess it does have ALL the right supercarrier elements to be a prime target in and out of fleet fights.

Highest rep, weakest tank, least built, much less flown.

It might as well be a cheap understatted Revenent. lol


Perhaps wins EVE's most unflyable non-faction ship award. Roll


It is the most agile at 9s align time, that is the only reason I got mine

Hey guys,
...

Now I mostly use the Loki out of necessity, but feel like I'm nearing another hiatus in EVE. I would have already quit again had I not been training to eventually fly a Hel, which has always been the coolest looking ship for me since the old Hurricane days, if not totally out of my grasp for financial reasons.





I would totally keep playing EVE to eventually fly a Hel, but am not sure I'd want to strive for one if it is a completely inefficient and nonviable ship just for the sake of flying a cool looking ship.

From what I've read, it seems like a pretty bad choice for a supercarrier because excelling at sitting by and repping POS shields seems like a pretty boring EVE life to me...

Are there any Hel or supercarrier pilots out there that know how to have fun in a Hel without having to curse at its ship bonuses every time you fly one?


Quit - Minmatar have the crapstick when it comes to Carrier/Super. Always primary, never useful. Take pride in knowing that you didn't make the mistake of thinking balance is part of the game. Just beauty.

So.. A Vindicator is expensive but you are considering a Hel. Roll

Supercaps are steel coffins, don't go for it.

Well I am not an expert but I get it from good sources that the hel is the best ship for dropping solo on ratting carriers (fastest align time, and you usually kill them before you are fully aligned). Extremely risky but the most amounts of fun ever.


I thought the only reason people ratted in carriers was so they could have a chance at ghostriding to catch a lone super...

Guess I'm playing wrong.

Currently there are three uses for a supercarrier and you need to ask yourself if you meet these criteria, you may:

1. Do solo ganks of carriers and rorqs

2. Grind sov structures- sbus, ihubs, stations (not pos)

3. Fight other capitals in a fleet

*some people have been known to do combat sites in a supercarrier, which is highly inefficient and is much better done in an ishtar, dont be that guy
