I still think all the destroyers could use an additional fitting slot. Cormorant needs another low, coercer needs another med and the catalyst could use one too.

Also buff interdictors.



If only!

Check out a Catalyst fit with 200mm Autocannon II's.....and Hail charges. Got room for a 200 mm tungsten plate, repper, damage control, scrambler and mwd.

Add some small projectile rigs and Evefit says a DPS of 206 and a volley of 729.

I can only imagine what a buff will do.


Why fit a Catalyst with autocannons and not use the thrasher instead ?


At that point in the thread......there were a couple of people talking about the Catalyst. I thought I would add to the talk about the Catalyst. In particular they were discussing cramming a full rack of Neutron blasters on it......I counterpointed with something that I felt was better than attempting that.....

And I haven't cross-trained the Thrasher.

You mean you don't have minmatar Frig 3, but you went to the trouble of getting Small autocannon specialization?

Interesting skill choice Blink

Just to confirm for you, the Destroyers skill is like the battlecruisers skill. Non race specific. so spend the 8 odd hours getting racial frigate 3. bang, crosstrained.

I thought destroyers main job was to keep taclkers away why would they need to catch a frigate?

Ah I see the confusion.....here I was thinking the Thrasher was a destroyer like the Catalyst. I'm flying a Wolf around every now and then. I'm more familiar with the Gallente ship line.

Nonetheless, why wouldn't I want small autocannon specialization with Minmatar frigates?

I'm not sure how you correlated the gunnery skill and Minmatar Frigate lvl 3.

it IS a destroyer.

prerequisite to fly it is Minmatar Frigate 3 and Destroyers 1.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

My thread seems to have caught interest. Will be nice to see these ships roaming the corridors of Eve again.

No kidding? Hence, the statement, "And I haven't cross-trained the Thrasher."

But somehow, it became assumed that I lacked lvl 3 Minmatar frigate?

Hello?

Let me make this clearer for ya'll.....I've trained to Assault frigates in the Minmatar line. As part of that package, I also trained small autocannon specialization. It seemed to make sense at the time.

I have not trained Minmatar destroyers.

Can't for the life of me figure out why that confused some folk.

Repeating and confirming there is no Minmatar destroyers skill, if you can fly a Catalyst, and Min ass frigz, you can fly a trasher.

That'll teach me to not go and check the skills list.

In my defense...it's been a while since I had to worry about it.

I really hope the sheer amount of bloody wingers dosnt make ccp change this possible fix because a nice big fleet of 80+ destroyers sounds like a hell of a lotta fun

I don't know, but the idea of a 580 dps Catalyst does make my mouth water.

Between the destroyer buff and the new battlecruisers with battleship weapons Hulks should be running scared.

Battlecruisers, not counting the new ones, all have the same signature radius - 240m. Destroyers should all have the same signature radius as well. Make it 60m. Or 56m. Whatever size you pick make it the same for all of them. I get a bit tired of the total Minmatar hegemony.

Hurricane / Cyclone Sig Rad 240m
Harbinger / Prophecy Sig Rad 265m
Drake / Ferox Sig Rad 285m
Myrmidon / Brutix Sig Rad 300m

They all have the Same Sig Rad of their counterparts but they don't all have 240m.

Winmatar Wins again...

Wait!

I get it, that's why people call them Winmatar.

That is clever.
