As tittle stated, i am wondering which FAX will be best to have.
I have both the Archon and Thanatos and can not decide which carrier should be converted to a FAX.
Thx in advance for your input.

From a money point of view, I would convert them both to sell. BPOs for these things will take a while to get researched, so FAX's may be more expensive short term than regular carriers.

I heard that if your carrier has a triage module on it when the patch hits, that it'll be converted into a Faux. Correct?

If everyone uses that same thought process, there will be a glut of Fax, and a shortage of basic carriers.
Market value of either is a crapshoot in my opinion.

There is already an oversupply of regular carriers as it is. Major entities have their own stockpiles, a majority of which are going to get converted. The Faux market is DoA, but it's not exactly going to upset the carrier one.

Who uses fax anymore anyway? Emails are much more convenient.

Big fights, where you expect hostile capitals on grid:

Amarr / Caldari. They get so much more EHP, and that's what's gonna count here.

Small Gang Triage support:

Minmatar / Gallente

They rep far better than the other two, but pay this with lower EHP - which won't matter as much in small gang triage works, as you can get a strong spike tank that is fueled with booster charges.

With that said, the Minokawa is going to be a lot tankier than its Amarrican counterpart.

Minmatar and gal also work better solo as the caldari and amarr ones don't local rep as well and are better suited to tag teaming with another triage

i like a fax that takes plain paper rather than that thermal stuff. i also hate people that still use faxes.
