Ships & Modules

Because the DPS makes you giggle.

eehh.... idk

i would take an ishkur or enyo over the comet.

in fact... i did.

the comet is waaay too expensive

Comet has its niche between the Taranis and the Enyo. Midpoint on both damage and speed, especially if MSE-tanked. It is also tankier than the Taranis.

The El Camino Of the Skys to say.. Neither good as being a truck, or good at going fast.

The Mullet of the Galaxy... Biz up front ... party in the back...

Your right, its between those two ships. Sadly Eve does not reward "jack of all trades" ships in this game. Unless its a command ship or T3.. then its kinda OP all the time. :)

Or a Rifter, or a Drake, or a Dramiel, or... enough yet?

Ok.. i stand corrected.. Micro W comet vs a rifter, blackbird and a throrax makes it a great ship.

Just think of the damage he could have caused if it was a enyo with those rails?

Kinda my point... yea in the right hands its a better than average ship... but a assault frig in those hands could have ruled the day.

The Comet has it's own niche in between the AFs and inties.

It is fragile but it's DPS is pretty eye watering.

I think of it as the uber Taranis.

They work well in NvN (noob vs noob) because there are tons of screwups you can use as a gallente pilot to win.

Outside of that they are marvelous for providing your enemies with killmails.

Also they are neccessary to get the angel ships.

On top of it you have to do them to get the gallente caps and supercaps.

So: you don´t really fly them but there is good stuff you need the gallente skills for anyways.

As a FW pilot, Comets are cheap for me. But I didn't know isk was part of the equation here.

If anybody says they love the Taranis, they should also say they love the Comet. Comets > Taranis hands down for solo fighting.

Comets are also harder to pin down than assault frigs (faster, better align time), making them really good skirmish vessels. AFs are slower and align less quickly which means they have a higher chance of getting caught.

Edit: Also, Comet fits only two rails and therefore has more CPU available for midslots. It can fit up a td which helps greatly to mitigate dps, and it has drones which work well in difficult situations (e-war), but drones get popped easily too.

However, in a slugfest, AFs > Faction Frigs, so don't do the dps*EHP thing against AFs. Also, resist bonus from Gallente/Caldari AFs means you (as a comet pilot) only engage them if you have backup around - because you're not going to do any real damage against them.

The Proteus has always been the one exception to the Gallente blaster ship line up, which only serves to emphasise further that the problem now rests primarliy with tweaking the hulls themselves and leaving the guns alone - with the exception of medium rails which still need their fitting requirements dropped a tad.
