Right now it'd probably be the Paladin because of Pulse's versatility. Haven't tried the Kronos yet, and the Vargur seemed lackluster compared to the range of Scorch. I have a 3k Omnitank Golem I wanna give a go, but I need some more torp skills for that.

up close torps are pretty bad ass, problem being in many missions stuff ain't up close. Plus cruise missiles got buffed. A while back I ripped out my 5% torp implant for a 5% cruise one.

Scorpion- very little use other than PvP.

PvE is PvE and it's all ridiculously easy in even a basic ship of the appropriate class. The only thing shinier ships do is make PvE go by faster/AFK, which is the opposite of fun or engaging.

Edit- flying an EWAR boat in PvP is fun. You are usually the primary, so survival is never assured, never just hiding among the DPS train hoping someone else gets shot. You rarely listen to FC orders once engaged and must act on your own judgement. And you can generate more rage tears than any other boat in the fleet.

You can hit 45.5km with Rage torps, and 55.5km with Faction torps, while putting out a whopping 1258 DPS, not counting drones. If I wanted to use Cruise missiles, I'd fly a MJD Raven.

The problem with this is that's EFT DPS not applied DPS. Before the CM buff I would say torps were okay but now not so much. Cruise missiles will apply DPS much better to smaller targets. Plus DPS is lost while you're burning in range.

I don't see a pole in your post. Was it supposed to be ASCII art, or a link to a stripper pole, or what?

Answer based on PVE only.

Ship: Golem (cruise missile set up).

Why: Tank, loot and salvage as you go, Ewar immune, Shield based defense that repairs itself to 100% just by docking and undocking (assuming the shield wasn't penetrated), delivers all damage types, immune to pesky frigs no matter how close they get or fast they are and missile reach that can stretch out and touch the hand of GOD and still do great damage.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

I see your 3k omni golem and raise you a 30k omni tank vargur.

Flying a rattlesnake 1450 dps, very impressed. Trying to get a vargur, 1250 dps, which may or may not apply more dps in angel space/ complete faster. If I'd have to choose one ship, which is an odd proprosition in EvE, then rattlesnake. P.S. I like marauders, each marauder for its separate part of the universe.

Paladin.

Tach IIs w/ Gleam have up to a 38km optimal with range scripts are in my TCs, With tracking scripts they pop cruisers orbiting at 10km.
INMF has a 70-odd km optimal, so I almost never even use the INUV that I carry.

A Rattler with bouncers does good drone damage to Angels but the Rattler bonused missile types (therm/kin) do not match the Angels damage hole (Exp) .

Angel's second biggest resist hole is kinetic. Frankly, none of it ever stopped my paladin from beating down angel's extra, so if I can put out 620 drone DPS exp and 800 cruise dps kin, I'll be happy. Still skilling into the darn thing though. Its a slow process.

My Rattlesnake puts out 1733 DPS v.s. Angels.

Gecko plus Scourge missiles.

It might not be pefect for the biggest resist hole but it does land the damage and enjoys a good amount of that secondary hole.
(( Insert inappropriate anus joke here ))

It even has a MWD so it's fast and moves freely with the Gecko going.

Only the Mach can touch it on Angel missions and it can only do it on Angel missions.
