What are you doing with it, brawling??? / what are your trying to kill?

Orbit at 24kms, rack of hams. damage controll, reactor core, and bcu's in lows. And buffer fit your mids with what is left. Cant remember if cerb has mwd bonus, but if it dosnt its still pretty quick with afterburner.

Odd, I thought it was meant to kite people? I could be wrong...

I dunno how you start fighting, but even I able to kite ppl, also hamls will dps-tank you, especially If you're not the only cerb in a fleet.

Stats (with level 5 skills)
- speed is ~2000 m/sec
- capacitor power lasts ~4.5 minutes (~33 minutes with the target painter off)
- has ~23,000 effective hitpoints
- with no drones, deals ~320 dps @ 70km (~360 @~140km with Faction Heavy Missiles).

Now what cruiser can attack from 50+ kms like this and deal that much damage?

- has ~43,000 effective hitpoints
- with no drones, deals ~520 dps @ 40km (~400 dps @ 65km with Javalins) (~610 dps @ 35km with Rage).

The only issue with this setup is damage application... which can be easily solved with a "helper" equipped with a target painter.



Basically, the Cerberus is a shield version of the Sacrilege... except with greater emphasis on long range and speed.

If thats beyond the tracking of an ishtar bonused curator II then lovely. If not, then nothanks.

It used to rock. It sucks now. It should be faster.

Thus far the only fit I've got to work on SiSi (I've killed 2 vagabonds and a Loki)

Of course its SiSi so assume HG crystals and 5% implants. I assume he has them too so those can be scaled off if you like.

Stats aren't amazing and I did eventually get 1v1'd by a deimos who I assume was fully decked out. My SiSi toon is 5mil SP out of date though so these days I would be using blue pill at least. I don't assume but I guess he could have been boosted with exile. Unknown degrees of OGB there as well.

It's a crap fit but what can you do?

Yes, sure, let's fly a purely experimental fit live on TQ where every loss costs me time or money to replace... OR
fly on SiSi with t2 fits which will accurately represent what I expect to be using. Ain't no faction webs/scrams and other cheese fits on SiSi because you literally can't buy any. Just thought you ought to know.

@Caleb

In solo and smallscale the Cerb is outperformed by
- Deimos, dual rep
- Ishtar, ASB or active shield
- Vagabond, active shield

The Deimos is way faster, more DPS, better DPS application, better tank
The Ishtar is a little faster, more DPS, better DPS range, similar DPS application, similiar tank
The Vagabond is faster, more DPS, better DPS application, better tank

In gangs, the Cerb sucks because the Ishtar does everyting better. The HAMs are the worst weapon system of all close/medium ranged ones, even Laser are better. HAMs sucks because explo radius is with faction ammo+standard crash booster only 100, most Cruiser and Hacs will laugh at you.

After the RLML nerf the Cerb lost it's niche of being a support ship in killing tackle.

In short, Cerb sucks a lot, i sold all 10 i had bought before immediatly after the RLML nerf.

Gonna need some citation for that. Of all the kills I've seen and made on SiSi never really see any deadspace or faction stuff. Specifically the market is only seeded with T2 gear so while your version of reality is possible it's not really plausible.



You mean those HAC gangs in lowsec and pirate battleships on TQ are all imaginary?
