Im a drone fetishist, so Im aiming at getting myself an Ishkur and an Ishtar. Still, Im thinking about converting my Thorax into a Deimos some day. The Deimos doesn't come with the spacey drone bay the Thorax has, but Im not intending on using neither my Thorax nor a potential Deimos for Drone warfare, but rather for close combat ³ber-blasting fun.
So, is the Deimos good enough to replace the Thorax with?

uhm, oh yeah baby?
BS's without a kinetic hardner dont stand a chance, even with it's touch&go, bar you make it to a proper distance of course. and torps and nosses kinda work well against them( for as long as that lasts).

if you want drone fetish then the ishkur and ishtar are the way to go. The deimos however is a blasterboat simply and i'd definately go with it over the regular thorax simply because of the cool green ion trails and camo paint :D
But with looks aside it does tank EXTREMELY well (50.2 damage per juggernaut) and it works particularly well for the rats i face which are guristas. The bonuses which go with the deim also make the blasters go frantic and the falloff bonus means that my heavy guns can swat down inties like flies with a web.
So for the simple raw firepower and omgwtfpwness then the deimos
for a drone fetish the rax

Well, that pretty much answers the question. The Ishkur and Ishtar will replace my Thorax and Vexor as drone carriers, but I figured I needed a blasting boat as well. The choice was between keeping the Thorax as is or making it a Deimos.

Edited by: Cinnander on 27/03/2005 16:02:08 Edited by: Cinnander on 27/03/2005 16:00:43 I find drones on the Deimos are more a defensive installation than offensive. And by that I mean you shoot at something like a BC or cruiser while the drones attempt to rip up that ceptor who has you tagged. 8 Mediums from a Deimos (3emp, 5 explosive) are effective. If you want drones as your primary offensive measure, you want LOTS (Ishtar, Dominix and Thorax to a lesser extent), as they can be killed easily and you may wish to switch damage types.
As for blaster boat. Yeah, Deimos. If you like blasters, you'll love it. But remember drones come 2nd and that you have to multitask - defending with drones while offending (!) with blasters or rails as much as possible. It's not easy, and sometimes it's just easier to stick everything on the one target. Ceptors for instance can't do a great deal of damage against you so you can feasably leave them to last and 'clean up' with the dronse once the primary target is dead. |

Edited by: Rexy on 27/03/2005 16:05:25 unless heavily tanked i'd probably split if i saw a deimos, one on one anyway. played vs one before, if they get close they go auchie, auchie, hey, HEY, auch auch!!
