That's not a bad improvement! I'll run it by the Mentors crew to see what people think.

I've always found the maller to be a decent tackler for a newer pilot to use. It is cheap and you can put a decent brick tank on it. Well, enough of a tank for them to hold tackle long enough for the cavalry to arrive. Obviously it is pretty much a meat shield, and will end up popped against all but the most incompetent opponent. But, it does provide a nice way to include newer pilots in a gang and give them a way to make a direct contribution.

The mallers heyday was back when there were AoE doomsdays and the maller could tank them. Nowadays a newbie can do better flying a stabber, its a lot quicker meaning you might actually get a tackle.
but if a newbie can fly cruisers why isnt he flying a blackbird?

in about 2 weeks a newbie can fly a ballin Blackbird and shut down elite PEEVEEPEEers. Nothing is funnier than the rage from some 25 mil sp guy who is getting shut down by a newbee in a blackbird.

Tackle -> ECM -> other **** thats the new bee progression

newbees are the ****

If a rifter gets targeted by a hurricane a DCU isnt gonna save it getting in close and orbiting at 500m while scramming the enemy is his best chance. Might as well have the cap to run his MWD and point. The ships are disposable and free for newbees. So its not like someone is getting a bad deal or something.
