Hi, I'm partaking in some old inaccessible poco melting in a wh. But the biggest ship i can fly is the typhoon fleet issue. Could someone give me some suggestions for a fit specifically for blowing up pocos?

Alternatively, If you're not planning on being afk, and are minmatar focused, get a tempest w/ polarized 800mm and a crapton of Hail L.

The point of a laserboat is that you only need one set of crystals and shoot it down or a drone boat with sentries. No ammo required.

Oracle is the best way to go, and if you can use t2 polarized pulses, use them.

Thanks admiral obvious

The oracle is almost ideal for the job, but if you read the OP he mentioned having fleet phoon as his biggest ship, he possible has only minmatar skills at the moment. Hence the tempest.

Not necessarily it could just be the largest ship he owns thus the biggest......

FTFY.

Heavies do considerably more damage than sentries. I've bashed too many POCOs with an AFK-fleet assigning their VNI drones to one poor sap who gets to stay online. Fleet warp everyone to a POS when done.

Polarised Oracles are also very, very good for POCO bashing.

EDIT: If you can use the guns, an Autocannon Tornado can also work well, but you'll obviously need to cycle the guns.

I would recommend an attack battlecruiser (oracle, naga, talos, tornado) which can fit large weapons.
Glas cannon fit it and kill the poco semi afk, not really paying attention.
A talos with polarized t2 guns can hit over 1500 dps easily, for almost no isk, so you wont really be sad if you get killed while afk.
I realize you cant fly talos, but it was just an example of the dps you can output with the attack battlecruisers.
