Honestly unless you want to throw away isk how can you use it as a glass cannon blaster boat?

Imo this ship will be best used as a sniper and the web bonus and drones will be saved for incoming fast tackle. most likely this ship will be out shinned by the other tier 3 BC's becuase if you use this thing as a blaster boat you have 0 survibality if your target survives the first few volleys.

I will be searching for you on killboards. Specifically i will keep an eye out for when a talos kills you, then continue to chuckle maniacally as i remember what was stated in this post.

With it's web bonus up to 5 you're about 87% speed reduction, this should be enough to hit stuff with rails using shortest range ammo and give you enough distance to shoot stuff at about 45km with MFS's in lows instead of blasters and TE's.

It's just an idea, we can't really think about using this ship with blasters for other purpose than: gank in belts, gank at gates, gank on undocks and probably has glass canon protect for BS fleets thx to it's web even railguns would be able to hit stuff under 20km.

The single advantage I see in this ship fitting type? -smallest sign radius but unfortunately meaning speed/agility reduction thx to armor rigs/mods speed reduction mass addition then to catch something click "MWD" and help everyone and his grandma hit you for 110% dmg thx to your sign radius bigger than an orca...

It's a nice looking ship, but with the fittings might look a bit heavy at the front.

I think I'll fly it by having my pod inserted inside it somehow. Oh wait! The title isn't the real question.

Rail's should be okay. Hopefully the boost rail's are getting will help a lot with that.
Some of the gallente ships make good close range, glass cannons, even now. Megathron's close range dps can be real nasty.

Imagine yourself tied to the floor completely unable to move. Now imagine me standing over you with a Sledge Hammer. Got that Image yet?

Good now imagine me hitting you with the Hammer over and over again till you are a fine mush.

That's how I am gonna fly this thing and shame on anyone who would use this thing for impure Sniping.

Same as all blaster boats, warp to zero, web, destroy.

Not much good for chasing stuff down but thats not really it's job.

It'll find a place in w-space where ship mass is of import.
