Does anyone have a good Cyclone fit?

Struggling

[Cyclone, DG XLSB]

Internal Force Field Array I

Decent with tengu boosts, crystals, and blue pill. Might have cap issues though, could try to squeeze a second cap booster on.

Those are the two fits I have

Both of these ships get completely outclassed by anything of similar size/value with an optimal fit.

These fits are particularly tanky fits and the tank on these is not outclassed by any BCs. A Myrm could compete with the dual XL Cyclone but it would susceptible to neuts and will have slightly smaller tank, also the Myrm suffers from the problem that it's drones can be shot down.

As for just a straight tank/gank fit, a single XL ASB Cyclone vs a buffer Drake, the Cyclone has 10kmore EHP after a single mag, is faster, has enough fitting for a medium and small neut while the Drake has none, and while it does 50less dps, you can switch ammo types on the Cyclone which gives you equal if not more effective dps.

dont use it for PvP, its not a very good ship.

It is slightly more agile then a hurricane, has better burst tank, but its range and dps are worse.

The only viable fit is heavy assault missiles, which limits the battlecruiser to point-blank brawls. It has a shield bonus to help it in that role, and you can fit a medium jump drive to escape, but in brawls you will most likely be scrambled, and a brutix will beat a cyclone in any brawl, 99 times out of 100. (1000dps vs 500, both ships have rep bonus).

You can fit heavy missiles, but then a drake will out-dps you by 1.5 times at range.

Overall, the cyclone is outperformed in all combat roles by other ships. Brawl/gank fits are better done with gallente, missile fits are best off with caldari, kiting fits are done with longer-ranged weaponry then a cyclone can fit.

You FORBID people from flying certain ships? Lol what? Man I would not fit in with your group...

Is the most satisfying I tried. The one large ASB is a bit annoying but it works.
Use large one overheated until empty, pulse XL one until reload completed, go back to using the large one. Dps is 500-600ish, you got two small neuts and full tackle, also price is roughly 55mil with everything incl. ammo.



No, standard or go home. 3% ain't helping you squat. Ghetto crystals (mid-grade alpha, beta, delta) offer 10% boost aswell and cost some 40mil last time I checked.

From my experience Cyclone wont out tank a myrm. Killing drones is the best way to increase your tank. Anyway i'm a kitey style.

Plus the cyclone is the only BC that can keep up speed with a plated cruiser Rupture/Omen/Thorax.

I like the feel when i fly it that i'm breaking the meta and bring content to the game. But indeed BC are a rather rare bird these days.
