No wasn't owned by Curse , but by kitsune jams last lose on KB :)))

Suggestion :
Remove drone damage bonus completly. Sentinel ? One of strongest solo boats but at least posses single weak spot- damage and you can either call backup or fend it off with drones/missiles.

Curse ? No drawback, no weak spot. As i see all other recons even if i can solo are mostly doing what they should supporting fleets, gangs.

Damn curse in solo is 10x stronger than any HAC. Pff easily takes down all HACs except maybe cerb would fend it off - but then again not kill.

You cannot possibly tell me its ok that ship is overpowering HACs , pirate ships too. Such phantasm is toasted against or vigilant. Well Cyna aswell. Orth soon too with missile disruptor. Gila can fend it off but thats it, not kill.

Give it some weak spot : be it tank , damage or fittings. Right now curse can get all tank , damage, fittings while d-scan immune, best ewar one can imagine - neuts dont fail like jam.

My ishtar would like a word...

Also, if you want to talk about a ship that can be easily fended off but never killed you're thinking Vagabond not curse...

at the risk of removal: https://zkillboard.com/ship/20125/solo/losses

plenty of T1 cruisers, T1 battlecsruisers, a couple frigates, faction cruisers, and assortments of other powerful ships. All killing solo.

You know what the problem is with the curse? Nobody undocks specifically prepared for it.

A surprising amount of VNIs on there.

No, sounds more like your just not very good. The Curse definitely is not 10x better than any HAC solo. Use cap boosters or nos, or use drones, missiles or projectiles and its ewar is useless. Also its tank and dps are average at best

Lol saw countless ishtars dunked by curses ... heavies/sentries wont hit snaked/linked curse which is often the case. Especially active tanked ishtars.

Many ishtars were having word with curse and didnt like what they heard.
Also how is that this ishtar is at mercy of curse even if will defend himself he has literally no Chance to score kill.

Vagabond ? i love it but its far from being immortal or strongest 1/1 HAC.

https://zkillboard.com/character/1135752483/ thanks for tips from someone who is good at this game.

@ Rowells i agree ... but if you prepare for curse ... then you gimp yourself other way.

Let me give you an example if i take nos on vaga - which is then curse killer np. then i dont have neut and will die to orbiting slasher :P

I will risk and take neut which gonna be more useful 90% of time.

Have a look at my alliance killboard (guess what I don't use this character for pvp hence the industrial ships)

If you are as bad at pvp as you are at gathering intel then no wonder you can't beat a curse. You are the only person I've ever heard complain about them.

Taking a look at your killboard (I'm looking at solo because fleet kills aren't a good indication of player skill) you haven't had a kill of value (most around 20mil-30mil. So mainly just picking off faction warfare newbies I see. There is nothing wrong with learning but keep practicing and I'm sure you will be able to beat a curse when you gain in knowledge and experience.
