Tried them on sisi

1) all of them have 8 gun/launcher slots
2) all of them have enough grid to fit full gank largest guns / launchers
3) All of them are fast (non nano are faster mine nanodrakes), one nano tornado made 1.6 kms with my skills >>> can imagine fit with speed around 1.8 (wo heat or boost!)
4) All of them are paper thin (most tanky shield Naga had about 29k ehp) they are really like cruisers with huge guns - will test armor versions and will see.
5) They are really good in kiting ganking
6) gate guns eat them fast - so lowsec piracy will be a bit more complicated with them
7) arty tornado is mean in sniping, same oracle
8) no secondary bonuses on sisi yet - or at least written (web on talos and explosion speed on naga)
9) no drones or utilty slots mean that web equiped setups will have chance against small crap - others will die (it is like flying nanopulse zealot)
10) they all can be awsome in high sec ganking
11) based on materials needed for manufacture i estimater pricetag arounf 40-45 mil.

properly tanked AHACs can ruin tier 3s days.

tried and zealot which gets in scram range of the Oracle means dead oracle.

they are also more vulnerable to tracking disruptors.


Even properly tanked harb which scrams tier 3 will ruin it.

Advantage of most tier 3s is their speed and agility >>> kite and gank.

Some of them can be fited for tanking, but still the basic ehp is very very low.

But it may change later as so far it is only on sisi.

The only diference is Talos >>> it is ship of its own class.
