Ships & Modules

Hey guys,

I have a CNR in my possession. Used to run a lot of hi sec missions and it used to come in handy. I never actually got round to fitting it 'properly' with x4 damage mods and maybe a few faction bits here and there. I got it from a friend with one CN BCU in place and I just left it at that. It never really had the best of tanks or best of DPS mainly because I don't have t2 cruise missile launcher skill and never had the money for a proper faction fit....so I guess I've always been a little disappointed with it in some ways.

In any case I've not missioned for a very long time mainly being in null sec/low sec and having access to null sec anoms/ratting. I don't feel particularly inclined to use it in null so I left it in hi-sec. Now I've come back into hi-sec to re organise my assets before I relocate elsewhere in null and my nostalgia of having a CNR is preventing me from selling it lol...simply because back of my head there is 'what if I need it' question.

Now I know the CNR is still classed as a very good PvE ship, I don't know if its any use for incursions, but I don't forsee myself using it in null at least not unless I get much richer than I am soon. Anyway long story short.....I'm looking to sell it off as I don't feel I have m,ade best use of it and am not likely going to use it....ships I have in made to use instead if I did have a need for missions or incursions would be a nighthawk...and a ship I would take into null for pvp and pve. (Tengu again too much)

Now what do you guys reckon?

Sell the CNR and use the isk for a nighthawk (or two if I lose it lol) or should I just keep it in the garage for later use when I'm back in empire doing stuff. Money isn't an issue...its whether I would miss it or not if I was to fly a nighthawk instead, which I have not yet had the oppurtunity to.

Cheers guys!!

If your CNR isn't rigged, sell it. If it is T1 rigged, sell it in a contract. If it is T2 rigged, you don't need the money, and you think you might use it later on (or want to give it away to a friend) then keep it.
If you do sell it on contract, go to a hub to do so (preferrably Jita, but any will do). You'll see other folks selling theirs and can get a general idea as to the price. Expect to sell it for around the combined buy prices of the combined ship/rigs.

ANy thoughts? My mind is settling with an absolution....

Sell it. Get a Nightmare.

I'd go for a Machariel or a Tengu, if I were you.

A Mach would work great for level 4 and Incursions. Tengu is nice for all kinds of stuff, but mostly used for level 4 missions.

A Nighthawk is just a slightly better Drake, whilst the Tengu is one of the best PvE ships in EVE.

BUT

You could also just improve the efficiency of your CNR:

All V, no imps.

Can be cheaper if you use specific hardeners or just a T2 Invul.

Mach and nightmare at present are out of my budget. Won't be able to get them anytime soon, not if I want to feed my pvp addiction. Tho the mach is an awesome pvp ship I'm not comfortable flying a 1.5bil+ ship to kill ****...besides to fot it properly even that may not be enough, and I don't have that much isk.

Besides neither of these ships at present am I comfortable doing null sec anoms with. The same goes with my CNR. I am mostly going to be in null so atm I won't fly any of these there. TBH Flying a few bil ship in null for anoms is something I don't I ever will feel comfortable. The question I had initially was whether I should keep my CNR for null sec anoms and just build a good fit for it over time....but seeing as I'm not comfortable flying it atm in null and I would like something decent should I just scrap it and use something else? If I was to keep it then I'd be using a normal t1 battleship for anoms/plexes or drake for belts/smaller anoms.

A command ship is sth I can afford and vs a t3 properly afford three of them for one t3 ship. I can fly mini amarr and cald command ships. I've heard good things about all three with various weaknesses. I don't how big of an issue DPS is however? Would I see a significant boost over a drake if I was to use a command ship (any of them). Or should I use something like a t1 arty maelstrom?

A tengu is definetely an option to consider as it is so versatile but as I said it does cost x3 of a command and I am to be frank looking at more cost effective efficient way of ratting/plexing in null for the time being, at least until I have a little more isk and a sure-fire way of getting hold of isk.

So if its not a command ship, what you guys recommend?

Thanks again

PS. Please bear in mind this is NOT FOR MISSION running. I am looking at NULL SEC anoms/plexes/ratting.

Thanks for mission running feedback - its good to bear it in mind. :)

"A Nighthawk is just a slightly better Drake, whilst the Tengu is one of the best PvE ships in EVE."

Outside of specific rats that they nh has a innate bonus too I'd disagree. The drake has 1 more total slots than the nh and is like 1/7th the cost. In conclusion? Don't buy a NH untill CCP pull their heads out of their asses and gives the field command lineup some much needed attention.

Tengu on the other hand is omgwtf OP'd for pve.
