Ships & Modules

Poasting to confirm dreads are indeed for shooting people, not structures.

That may be, but a lot - I'd even say the majority - of EVE ships (and you can say the same for a lot of modules and LP rewards) are redundant or have very limited use.

Not sure why it's still so hard to balance ships and stuff a little (and why do we still have tiers in the first place) after 8 years but imho CCP isn't doing a particulary great job. Are they even trying at all?

I thought about posting ideas and opinions on this thread. Then i checked the OP's last posts and found out, that he just likes to flame...

Fixed your list for you.

the osprey is still a well used ship for pos repping in empire/low sec/null sec.


"Pospreys" as they are fondly named are cheap as chips to fly, low skill requirements mean even noobs can fly them fairly quickly.

depending on how much u wanna spend but for less than 5mil u can fit a 2 large rep cap stable fit posprey

highs 2x meta 4 large shield xfers

mids and lows cap rechargers and relays


for about 20mil u can put 3x cap rigs on drop two cap relays and fit a powergrid & cpu upgrade and squeeze a 3rd large shield xfer on and still be cap stable though this does require a bit more skills and some 3% or better shield implants.

Raven and Typhoon are good mission boats, especially the Raven. Maller makes for a wicked piece of bait, tank it six ways to sunday. I had a buddy that had so much tank on his it took 12km to turn, lol! Osprey is a great almost entry level mining platform, and the Rokh make for a decent in a pinch mining platform as well.

These are about the only ones I can really speak on, but it's not necessarily the fault of CCP, per se. Alot of that lies with the players as well. The propensity to stick with what works, coupled with loss aversion, has fostered a mentality of using only certain ships. No one really gets out there and tries no things. But I'd also wager that if we, as a community, did not have as many choices as we do, we'd be all up in arms about it. The ships are there for anyone to use at any time, it's up to you to make something happen with them. Think outside the box.

Maller - Can fit a BS-level buffer on a cruiser hull, one of the best bait ships around.
Omen - I've seen youtube vids who make RR gangs out of these for lols and it actually works. Surprised it's not used more often.
Osprey/Exequror - I've seen these used as logis in FW plexes where you can't bring T2 cruisers.
Celestis - It can fit a 1600 plate and has 5 mids. It's unbeatable for cheap gate tackle in lowsec (with 3 sebos) or for baiting drams (with 3 webs)
Scythe - I always though this ship's primary use was as a mining platform for noobs.
Raven - Torp ravens can be good, they just get primaried a lot so nobody wants to fly them.
Hyperion - You can shield tank it better than a Megathron, makes a decent POS shooter too with it's rep bonus.
Cyclone - All the tier 1 BCs are lacking, but I'd argue that the Cyclone is the best of the bunch. It looks like a giant Thrasher and flies like a cheap Hurricane, the fact that nobody respects it makes it a good bait ship.

I count 5 ships that need a good going over.

OP can see all those ships in use when he clicks undock...

Most of those ships if not all of them have there uses by somebody, just because the OP does not use or see them does not mean they need a "fix", i've seen moa's and omens used for gas harvesting and pvp, dreads more time than I care to count, i've seen killmails with pvp EAS's and the fact you put the cyclone up there shows you have no idea what your talking about. Garmon even made a video using one and in my opinion they're on of the most underrated pvp ships you can use

Supers do everything a Dread can do?
Time Dilation caught up with you?
I'm training my Nyx pilot to be a Moros pilot, cause the Nyx does everything better...including die.
