Ships & Modules

Generally speaking, I always felt that the Caldari line up of BS was week for PvP. I have flown them all, and I think they have the highest probability to lose a fight.

The Scorpion:
A BS sized ECM ship. It does have the ability to spam in Cruise missiles, but being out of point range, it can't actually get many kills. More of a helper in that respect. As for the ECM part, it can't cloak, and it moves slow. I never lost a Falcon, but I did lose every Scorp I ever owned.
I will add, Scorps are cheaper to lose. Disposable in a sense.

The Raven:
Typically is a first BS that new combat pilots will fly. They can do *ok* but this reputation alone will get the Raven primaried a lot.
If you want to be the last ship on the field after a big fight, you probably will NOT be flying a Raven.
Great DPS though and a decent drone bay. Not terrible tank, but def not the *best*.

The Rokh:
A great doctrine ship with the snipeing ability.
Up close, as a blaster boat, Mega is faster, has more DPS, and can tank as good or better. Mega and other ships, will have a better drone bay and more possible utility options.
Price makes the Mega a far better choice for the same fight.

Again, I've flown them all, and I'd do it again, but a well thought out fleet/plan would leave these ships in the hanger.


I will admit, most of my fleet/plans aren't well thought out. Many times it's just "grab something and let's go"

Scorpion not all that much it can do that another ecm boat can't do better or cheaper. If ccp ever lifts the hard 250km lock on the rest of the ships like they did cariers I could maybe see it. As it stands it's only really useful for suicide ecm bursts

I wouldn't say it the best doctrine sniper. Again the Naga will have better DPS and the same range. It's faster to, so if you it as it's intended role. Being outside of the range of the enemy, tank doesn't really matter. Also the Naga gets overshadowed by the Tornado. Also Medium rails in general on cruiser hull seem to be more ideal with the meta as is.

Mega gets a better Passive tank, The Rohk could technically get a better active tank, but the Rokh only has six mids, so getting a good a active tank, or even passive tank will limit it in utility. It's really hard to fit a Rokh to have a strong active tank, even with bling, and still have a web.

As for blaster fits, the Rokh doesn't get the tracking bonus, so not only does the Mega out damage the Rokh, it tracks better and can fit a web. Better drone bay to, it can fit a set of mediums and a set of lights. where the rokh can only fit a set of mediums or two sets of lights.

As its intended role, The Rokh has been left behind by the ABC's. The only thing people really use them for now is smart bombing, either has dedicated firewallers, or just popping the random ceptor/pod.


I know I've been bashing it a lot, I love the way the Rokh looks. It was actually the first battleship I bought and I still have that rohk docked up in Amarr. I just wish it was a better ship.

So after some fitting I'm going to declare that the abaddon is the worst battleship. The bonuses make it interesting, but the cap is so weak you have to fit cap boosters just to keep the lasers firing in a buffer fit. I really don't see how to fit this ship and not consider it garbage.

Yeah, the nightmare seems a lot better for the same-ish kind of ship.

The Venture is the only mining ship I can fly. I kind of like the idea of getting the omber I need for storyline missions in a Rokh. Just for awsomesauce and giggles. Can't stop the Rokh, it does 250 sanics...

Yeah well the thing is, people don't exactly use Naga doctrines a whole lot either.

C4 and 5 WHs.

TFI has extra PG too which is great when it comes to fitting arty as you don't have to sacrifice one of your rigs like a machariel should.

A TFI would probably be one of the most suited battleship to hold a grid.

All Navy battleship hulls are horrendously overpriced now that Pirate Faction hulls have dropped so much in cost. They should really be priced in the 250-350m ISK range.
