I was wondering which of the 4 black ops ships is better, consider character is all lvl5 skilled. The main purpose is to bridge forces, so I am not looking max dps but i am looking max survivability.

The general consensus is that the Redeemer is the best DPS Black Ops of the group, the Widow is in theory good but when you consider a Falcon is cheaper and generally better it becomes less appealing.

The Sin is also fairly often deployed, usually along side and in support of Redeemers, this is because its drone DPS allows it to fit RR and utility (Neuts/Smartbombs) in the highs which can be very useful if you aren't running Triage as support.

The Panther is alright as a DPS boat, but the Redeemer is better basically.

Edit; Its worth pointing out that when it comes to Black Ops, more DPS generally equals more survivability, the faster your target is ganked the faster you can clear your 1 Bil+ BS from the field.

Its also worth pointing out that the fitting requirements of the bridge mean that most serious BLOPs gangs have something like a bridge ***** Sin, purely set up for Cargo space (For Fuel) and a cloak to get off the field quickly, these generally don't participate in the actual violence and are only in place to bridge stuff there, and back.
