As many who know me know. I dislike blogs and have for years. But! Thank you for introducing helpful meta-content to the community.

Well, I did frequent 2 blogs back when both players were active. They wrote the BEST blogs this community has EVER seen. Lady Shaq and Mr Snypes. Find them and be enlightened. Everything else is TERRIBUBBLE...

Note: Video/audio blogs/logs are an exception.

I came in expecting some sort of "this ship is better than that ship" etc. I was gratefully proven wrong. Good material and definitely advertised within my corp.

decent read, good format - but

you lost me when saying it's a poor idea to fit a point on your ab ship... also when saying there's no point to putting missles on an ab/scram ship... tsk tsk.

also, when explaining dps/ammo types, you should also talk about alpha. really kinda important.

While no guide will satisfy every critic 100%, I have to say this is the best I have ever read on the subject.

100% sticky worthy. Hard to imagine anyone less than "highly experienced" not benefiting from reading it very closely....several times.
