So, I've been rocking a Cerberus solo these days. However, I'm not finding much difference between using rapid light missiles launchers on the Cerberus comparatively.

So! In your opinion why fly a Cerberus over other rapid light missile platforms? Also, does anyone have ANY unique set up they'd be willing to post?


- Thank you, Killz.

The navy Caracal applies only one of its bonuses to RLMs, and is best suited in a HAM role. It can still go RLMs of course, but the premium paid against the T1 hull is not worth it.
The Caracal is a superlative T1 Cruiser will RLMs.
The Cerberus is a Caracal on drugs.

Imo if you're going to do rapid lights you should use the t1 or faction cruisers


the Cerb is most beastly as a ham platform.

I've already used the ship with heavy assault missiles. However, I mainly use the setup below; 450 (520 with heat) damage per second, 1950 m/sec and I use a standard blue pill.

Until Rubicon is released you can do a double XLASB fit with an RLM Cerb, which is about the most overpowered solo/small gang ship I've ever seen.

Thats pretty much not cool, OD should be a nano or another BCU, EM Ward should be an LSE that web should be meta or faction and that bay loading goes to an ACR.

Which cost silly amounts of isk and no doubt is to be used with an off grid booster... I put something like that together then deleted. No doubt its good however.
