I know the crow has now changed to a fleet tackel role. But, does anyone use it still as a viable solo PvP boat?

Has anyone had success or not?

Please enlighten moi.

No on the solo boat and yes on the success thing but wasn't me.

The Crow should still make a good scram kiter with rockets, but I haven't flown it as such.

Unless you run into me..

I would advise using light missiles, so you can range-kite.

The crow isnt used as a soloship anymore because they totally killed it. It used to be just fine, then they buffed the **** out of it (because some ****** thought making a lml kiter have a bonused warp range was a good idea) and then they moved its low to a midslot and gave it 4 launchers which killed its fitting and they nerfed the dps to nothing.


So now if you go lmls, mwd, t2 point, BCU you already need fitting mods/implants. And there are no 0 fitting midslot modules worth using, so you run into extreme cpu/PG issues instantly.

Which kills the crows speed, which in turn made the crow totally useless. They also nerfed its cap into nothingness so you cant even mwd + point capstable.

Something like:

[Crow, lml]

Ballistic Control System II
Co-Processor II

5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Warp Disruptor II
Balmer Series Compact Tracking Disruptor I
Balmer Series Compact Tracking Disruptor I

Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
Arbalest Compact Light Missile Launcher, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile

Small Processor Overclocking Unit I
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing II

(dont use it, its ****)


Does 70dps, going 4km/s with 1min20 of cap and a 4.8 sec agility.


To compare:

[Condor, lml]

Ballistic Control System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

5MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive
Warp Disruptor II
Balmer Series Compact Tracking Disruptor I, Optimal Range Disruption Script
Balmer Series Compact Tracking Disruptor I, Optimal Range Disruption Script

Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
Light Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile
[Empty High slot]

Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I

This does 82 dps, goes 4157m/s, is cap stable and aligns in 3.1 seconds with mwd on. Its much cheaper, and much better.



The crow just doesnt work anymore!
