Anyone who thinks it is the end-game boat to pilot for PvE is dead wrong. Its nothing more than an overpriced Sleipnir.


Having flown both extensively, you're wrong. The Sleipnir is an underrated PvE ship and it kicks the **** out of a Loki in L4s, but it can't compete with a Mach due to range issues on medium ACs (and arties, for that matter). In a Mach, you simply have a much, much larger engagement envelope, which means you can start applying damage faster. Add in the fact that the Mach is also faster and more agile and the competition is over. A Sleipnir boasts a better tank, but that's a secondary concern when you're effectively nuking all opposition from 65km down to optimal (and you get to choose your range).
