EVE General Discussion

No, you're the one who compares ship sizes only with sig radius. So, therefore Drake isn't battlecruiser. More like capital and shouldn't be allowed in hisec.

…because this is what the game mechanics use to determine how large or small a ship is in terms of how easy it is to hit and how well it survives large (or smaller, or same-size) weapons. As it happens, the barges fit perfectly in the cruiser bracket.

No. At 285m, it fits neatly into the battlecruiser bracket (and would be allowed into highsec regardless since “being a capital ship” isn't a deciding factor for what goes where).

Funnily enough, sig-tanking the Drake is one of the better ways of fitting it for PvE.

…and no, even after being (badly) fitted, the Drake still doesn't come close to being a capship.

By the same token, how many Drakes can you put into one?

The Hulk still fits neatly into the cruiser bracket, because that's what every single weapon in the game will treat it as… you know, a rather important consideration since we're discussing its survivability and all (unless you want to place it into the “industrial” category, at which point it once again tanks well in line with — or even above — its class).

One.

So, how do you put three cruiser sized Hulks into Orca's SMB? I'm sure CCP would like to know about this exploit.
I know I can put three cruisers into SMB, but I can only put two Hulks into it before available space runs out.

So it's not a battlecruiser, but rather one size down — something along the lines of a cruiser.

…and again, the volume is completely irrelevant as far as determining the survival characteristics of the ship. The barges take damage as cruisers and they tank like cruisers, just like you'd expect. It's tanking well in line with its class, no matter what. No amount of fallacies from you will change this fact.

…except of course, that I didn't, largely because you cut out the context that explains the bracket in question.

So please quote the bit where I said that you could fit 3 Hulks in an Orca.

Nope. First I say that the Drake is a battlecruiser, and then I say that the Hulk is a cruiser. Again, context matters — we're talking about the Hulk here, remember?

As it happens, the Arbitrator's Sig Radius is 282. I believe that that is, according to you, a Moon or a Capital ship.


The Hulk is a Cruiser because it packages into 10k m3. Same as every other Cruiser.

Try again, troll.



I don't have to because I can put three cruiser sized hulls into SMB. Why should Hulk be any different?

And you haven't explained how three Hulks in SMB exploit works. I'm sure devs want to know about this.

Honest mistake. I read the wrong entry.

Gonna rectify some of your mistakes, like your "Most Cruisers have 80k EHP" or your "2km/s Cloaked ship"? Or, by your logic, are you a troll for making an assertion that's provably false?
