All aboard the Flavor-of-the-Month Train! Leaving real soon now from a station near you!
The Thorax does not suck, it's now just balanced with the rest of the cruisers. Feel free to pick the next FOTM, of course. You'll have lots of company.

Right. So by some twisted logic, the grid upgrade it got at the same time (allowing it to easily fit med blasters) somehow does not count. What are you using on you rax if drones were the "only advantage", civilian gatling lasers?
Oh, and maybe, just maybe you should take a look at what 5 x medium drones with proper skills can do. Hint: it results in a pod, not yours. Oh, and let's not even mention what webber & tracking disruptor drones can give to a blaster Rax.
Sure, it's no longer a no-skills-needed pwnmobile. That's good.

It has a 5% bonus to medium turrets damage 5%decrease in mwd need per level, blasters have a better dot than projectiles, it can fit 2 extra medium drones. Forget it maybe if you complain how bad it is all the newbies will think the rupture is the next I win ship reducing the thoraxs prices .

Edited by: Drunkeh on 21/12/2005 18:09:55 A well flown rupture will now spank a thorax. However this doesn't mean a thorax sucks, it still does the most dps of any cruiser.

i always liked the rupture it has a good damage output and defense is pretty sturdy, can be a bit tight fitting everythign on but u have to play round with how much power u want outta em, i got 12x damage mod outta mine when i used a basic shield fitting and had coupel Gyro IIs in loslot (befroe i realised rupture was an armor tanker lol) but now i played round with it i found it could still deal out as much as it was taking maybe even more depending on the ammo

There is NO such thing as a "best" cruiser... Its defined by the situation, pilot, skills and much more...

I also got challenged to a 1v1 today Only difference was My rupture ate his Thorax alive.. Arties for the win as he could not close with me
Different setups produce different results, Although TBH HOLD has used Ruptures as our main fighting ship EVEN After the speed nerf!

Hmmmm....dont you move quite slow? I have not tried 1600 plates since the change. I only heard that it would not work so I removed them.

yeah, range is a advantage. Wonder how the same rax with webby drones and/or rails would have dealt with the same setup?

You guys are kidding right? The Maller is easily the best cruiser over all. The Caracal the most useful in groups. There's honestly no question. The only min cruiser worth flying is a stabber (which rocks tbh). -------------------------------------------- "A plan is just a list of things that don't happen." -- Parker, _The Way of the Gun_

No, since quite clearly the Rupture pilot was an idiot.
The Thorax rocks now. Not like it did before, but as everyone says, it was broken before. Now it's a top notch cruiser. And so is the Rupture. 1v1 PvP is pretty irrelevent, therefore so is the which is better 1v1 discussion.

The Vexor has become fantastic after the drone changes. NOS, Electrons, MWD, medium drones. The only problem is that it goes down kinda fast.

Dont know how you can call 1v1 discussions irrelevent, although most of eve community seems to of opted for group ganking you can still get plenty of 1v1 duels consensual or not where the only difference of winning or losing is how each have setup their ship and tactics.

Being completely and irrationally prejudiced, I'd have to say I favor the Maller in any mid range conflict.
Then again, which cruiser classes actually fight mid-range besides the Maller? Moa with assault missile launcher?
I need to investigate more closely the available ranges these ships without range bonuses get with rails and projectiles.

The rax is still good. You just haven't ot an uber tank and puny little guns any more...
Anyone heard of resist plates? The new skills come in very handy when using a passive tank.
As for the new plate thing, I think that a BS mounting 1600mm plates receives no penalty to speed. Then the penalty increases for every ship size you drop.

i think the BB is just as useful in groups...many ships are, and imo, stabber<rupture lol...even though it looks cooler
