Doesn't recon kind of signify stealth?

Therefore why can the Curse not cloak?

There are two lines of Recon ships, Force Recon (Cloaky) and Combat Recon (non-cloaky). The Curse is a combat recon, which are designed to have beefier defenses then their Cloaky counterparts. This both balances the ships, and creates some variation.

we could change one of the curse bonus, lets say the 40% to neut range, to fitting bonus for covert ops cloak, like a 20% reduction to cloak cpu.

guess you didn't see what he did there.

Can't tell if sarcasm...but if it's not, changing the bonus that way would basically make the Curse a Pilgrim.

IT'S A CRUISER WHY CAN'T IT LAUNCH HELICOPTERS

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

to be honest, Curse and Tanky dont go together in one sentence.

Curse and Glass Neut Boat - yes.
Curse and 350dps max, maybe - yes
Curse and '**** im out of cap boosters' - yes
Curse and EM/thermal hole size of new jersey - yes
Curse and '**** sentry drones on me, warp ou.... - oh nice cloning facility' - yes
Curse and tanky - NO.

nice boat, but too glassy. needs a resists buff.

Pilgrim is a whole another story. Suffice to say, pilgrim and its 10km range and armor slowness make it WORST BOAT EVER.

Just get a neut legion or armageddon.

the armageddon has displaced the curse/pilgrims off the field when it comes to raw neuts, i give you that, but neut legions? not everyone lives in a wormhole, a legion demands shiny, and shiny i can't afford.

I used to fly them a lot, they worked nice! No idea what sort of price they demand these days though. You don't seem to see many of them anymore, that's for sure. At least not in my neighborhood. Pirate

too slow for skirmish.... effective engagement envelope of 10km, 18 if you bling with faction web and overload... only good for bubble camping or gate-camping on non-regional gates. price is not too bad, but its rare because its basically heavy tackle, and other cheaper ships can also do that role.

Ashimus need help. They cannot start the fight because they are slow and peopel know enough to not get under 13 km of an ashimu.

What would really help Ahimmu is a fifth midslot and better speed/agility. Other than those factors it's a pretty solid ship for small gang support or gate camping with logi.
