Having some trouble here im about to train cruiser V for eather Minma or Gall and am unable to decide on what I want

to go with. It will be for mainly PvE null-sec ratting in Angle space. I know the all mighty Ishtar is a good choice but,

how would the Vagabond and Muninn hold up in one of the bigger ratting sites? Also how do they fair in WH space?

Ishtar seems like the no brainer here but I enjoy guns and drones alike. Can get kind of boring just sitting behind some

sentries. Any insight into this matter would be helpful.

Thank You.

When all else fails, train both.

Then the only question is which first Blink

EDIT: Note Gallente and Minmatar cruiser are required for the Angel Cynabal.

Gallente cruisers are in a reallystrong position right now, I'd think about them first.

Gallente Cruiser is better by a mile in todays metagame. You don't have to stick to just drones, the Deimos is an excellent ship and uses blasters and you'll have that too from training Gallente Cruiser V.

Yah the Deimos is nice. I was just curious if the minma HAC's could hold there own.

minmatar HAC can kill rats of asteroid belts just fine, and probably a Vagabond can clear anomalies even if not as fast as the ishtar and spending quite a few is in ammunitions.
at the moment there is really little reason to go with the minmatar route over gallente, not only because of the ishtar, the deimos is a superior HAC as well compared to the vaga/muninn

Ishtar is really powerful right now.

That being said, I don't have gallente cruiser 5 yet, but I do have minmatar cruiser 5. I use my muninn for pve and i love it. Set up with 720s, a light shield tank and AB with some damage mods, and you will have no problem outrunning angels and blapping them from afar.
