I just hit 3.0 standings with the Brutor tribe, but , my current skills only get me in T1 cruisers at best. what would be a good ship for those lvl3s?

t1 bc worked fine for me.

Missile ship might be easier to start with since missiles don't miss.

Back in the day I ran l3 in hurricane, then trained and ran them in cyclone. Either one works.

Sniper t1 cruiser would probably work ok. Kite anything smaller than you, orbit anything same size or larger than you.

I'd work towards a Faction, T2 or T3 Strategic Cruiser as soon as possible (skip Battlecruisers altogether).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

An AB active shield Rupture might handle the easier level 3.

Your going to be far better off even in a Vagabond or a T1 Battlecruiser rather than a T1 cruiser longterm though.

All are wrong.

Use a Gnosis, any tank works, i use armor & lasers. the drones are bonused also, that is what this ship is made for IMO.

only 64m

the bonus is already maxed on the ship, so skills are no problem. & while it is a BC in tank & dmg, you only need spaceship command 1 to fly it.

Interesting - I'd never considered the Gnosis...

You've got to be kidding. A T3 costs a billion just to buy and I wouldn't get in one of those without a lot of skills first. A T2 cruiser is a little more sensible as they don't cost more than BSs. If going that route I suggest skilling up drones and getting into an ishtar. The downside to that is those things take a month if you don't have cruiser 5.

I guess you missed the part where I included "Faction" or "T2" cruiser as well... And I don't know where you shop, but T3's are well under 500m to buy and fit.

its nice and all, but with no supporting skills, or knowledge of mechanics it is effectively dead. with a bit of both it is pretty nice and can get you into the action faster.

t3 cruisers are great, but rather expensive and skill intensive, so you are probably way better off getting into the content with a low skilled bc.

Faction cruiser also pretty good, but a bit expensive, and maybe less forgiving than a bc.

Missiles are easy, but I prefer turrets. Some lv2 experience with something like an arty rupture transitions well into an arty hurricane for lv3s. plus plenty of drones for frig defense.

Take pirate cruiser. Phantasm or Gila. They are relatively expensive but you will get use of full bonuses as soon as you reach lvl 1 related skills. Phantasm is especially good, you will pass lvl 3 missions like а breeze.

Hurricane still alive and kicking. With new projection bonus, it may actually bring autocannons in your average l3 with a bunch of tracking comps. Problems begin on a tank, usually people start with shield one on minnie ships, but you've got no spare mids since all of them are prop + TCs.

If you already have minnie cruiser skills, a hurricane will be the next logical step. Artillery might be difficult to fit with lowish skills, so don't rush up the ship sizes too quickly, else you will just end up losing it.

Am I missing something? Why are people talking about T2 ships and navy ships and 60m+ ISK ships for L3s? A cruiser is serving me fine. Just look at battleclinic for a good fit and train for T2 tank stuff as soon as possible then T2 weapons if you feel you need it.
