Ships & Modules

Now, Im not asking which is the worst per-say, just which do you guys think is the least used over-all of the T1 (Non-Faction, Non-pirate, Non-special) Cruisers and Battleships, I would think probably the Auguror, and the Scythe for the cruisers, but I haven't gotten to Battleships yet, so I wouldn't be able to make a clear determination on those

I would say the Hyperion for battleships, simply because many believe it is vastly inferior to cheaper ships at the same roles and it having odd bonuses and a high cost.

I, however, love the ship. There are a few things it is damn good at.

Augoror. I have seen nubs mining in Scythes because it can fit mining lasers. The Augoror basically can't and is replaced by mining geddons.

There's really no excuse as to why so many of the T1 cruisers stink. I feel for newer Amarr players especially, with the Arbitrator being so specialized. It makes even less sense when Eve loses dozens of potential players who jack in the game after a few months. I can only imagine how dispiriting it must feel to be told by a more experienced player that the Omen you think looks awesome blows, and that you shoud ''train Minmatar'' instead.

@CCP: take charge and change some ******* ship attributes

I think it's probably a toss up between the Celestis, Augoror and Bellicose, although the Omen is quite a rare sight as well.
I can't actually recall seeing an Aug in space for a few years.

I was also going to say the Exequror, but you occasionally see them bumbling around Gallente space like I did a couple of hours ago.


BS wise, you don't see many Typhoons around these days, I think I've probably seen more Rohks recently, in high sec at least.

XG in QCATS flys them on occasion. I fit up a few recently with damps because of the masses of T3 sniper BC. It has been useful on a few occasions for making those guys useless. EDIT: My KB says I am on 6 KM with my Celestis recently...

I also flew one last night. We jumped into a superior (not by much) force in a plex. They had equal number cruisers + a BC + 2 Blackbirds. I was actually able to damp one of the BB into uselessness, so he warped off. Our folks killed the other BB and a few other things, and we held the field. I was targeted by lots of drones and the drake, and got to use smartbombs for the first time ever. WOW. Bye bye drones. Suprisingly, combat log also showed that I popped a few of the drake's volleys with them. It also made a cool noise and had funky lights. I had to warp out eventually, but made it out safe. I didnt get on any KMs, but it was fun all the same. Learned smartbombs + RSDs eat cap like a mother. Need to refit a capbooster somehow without gimping my shield tank.

Would fly again.

I use the Rokh for hauling high value/low volume cargo in hisec.

That and the Hyperion.

Exec is actually quite popular with starting players in the gallente starter corps - gets flown on combat days as a logi, gets used as a hauler by trials accounts and fitted with all manner of terrible mixed tanks and a salvager in the highs to bumble through level 1s and 2s.

from time to time is see celestisis and exequrors, flown mostly by noobs in starting systems augerors not so much.

I used to fly scythes just to fly scythes not because they were good for anything.
