Last time infinity offered a battleship to go solo and kill stuff I accepted.

Infinity didn't deliver.

I offered you a Mega, you demanded a vindicator. Very different story.

Why don't you take me up on my offer, you're the mega pvp king.... should be nice and easy ....


No I asked for a kronos, which is a mega hull and the best adapted for solo work.

If we will have to think about efficiency every single time, then all we need to have in hangar is some t3 cruiser.

As for BS, got apocalypse navy last month, that's a very satisfying thing in cases of exterminating lvl4 blood / sansha / drones.

BS are big, can shoot very far, look cute (mostly), cost not very much, tough enough, have an mjd, sometimes give away numbers like 10k+ alpha damage. Thats why I use them. Does TS need anything more for easy and pleasant lvl4 rides?

But you've been going on about the Mega being fine, surely a Mega will do.

Its not a solo focused ship, the mega is a great fleet/small gang ship. The kronos is a much better adapted ship for solo/small gang work.

Nah its not a bad solo ship as battleships go. However that's similiar to saying a Veyron is not a bad formula 1 car as GT cars go. Veyron (Mega) against F1 GP cars (HAC, T3, Pirate Cruisers and BC) will get slaughtered. Even against T1 cruisers its likely by by time.

A Veyron isn't a Formula 1 car. Why won't you buy the Kronos?

Oh god.

Yes I know a Veyron is not a Formula 1 car which was the whole point of the comparison. A Megathron is not a pure solo ship either, the Mega was designed to be a small gang and solo pvp ship. Recons on the other hand were designed purely for fleet / gang work however the Curse is an exceptional soloer while the Mega has gone from being good to poor at solo.

As for the Kronos, its a Marauder not a T1 battleship.

Right, so you're only going to pay for a T1 BS. I thought you were going to give away 5bn, a Kronos is only 1bn.

Its a battleship and the better option for solo work in the megathron lineup.

Are there any vertical battleships? The Nighthawk is a battleship, right? I don't like the spikiness, though I might be thinking of another model.

yeah and TFI naturally.


A lot more smaller ships are vertical though the Naglfar is clearly an exception to that trend :D

Hey Infinity I offered to take your challenge granted you made the exception of allowing me to take it in a wormhole instead... which would actually suit your claims more as it would generate me more solo/small gangs to fight instead of getting hotdropped.

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

No, he needs a billion isk ship for the best chance at succeeding against the widest variety of targets.

Nothing closes up a wormhole after the "owner" has left better than a plated T1 BS running a MWD.
