Greetings,
IÆm a mission runner flying a Absolution with core x-type hardeners and a corpum repair so you could say its quite pimped. I've come however to the end of my specialization in abso skills. I got medium gunnery spec 5 and all other relevant skills are also maxed.
So the thing is, I want to move on.. I got about 3 billion spare for this project and I'm looking at faction battleships.
I can use t2 lasers and t2 cruise missiles and I got caldari bs 5. So the quickest answer would be a navy raven. The thing is I donÆt really like ravens.. no idea why I just donÆt like being so standard.
The other options are navy apoc, nightmare, bhaalgorn or a rattlesnake. IÆve had a nightmare before and sold it because I didnÆt know how to work around the cpu problem without using faction/deadspace equipment.
So my question to you is:
What faction battleship would you recommend me for lvl 4 missions ( and maybe later lvl 5 missions in a team when they come out )? The ship would need to do similar/better damage then my absolution @ 750 dps. Is the navy raven really the only option for a mission runner like me?
My own idea right now would be a nightmare with this fitting :
4 x cruise t2 4 x TS mega beam
3 x cap recharger t2 Gist X-Type 100MN Afterburner
2 x Dark Blood Armor Kinetic Hardener 2 x Dark Blood Armor Thermic Hardener 2 x Core X-Type Large Armor Repairer Capacitor Power Relay II Heat Sink II
3 x capacitor control rig
No idea if this would match my absoÆs damage though. ______

Edited by: madaluap on 28/04/2007 19:15:11 Its hard to beat such a pimped absolution...I think your absolution is >>>> nightmare.
You have reached end lvl, so if you want to move on, start pvping in pimped ships. Now thats rush.
Best ship for you? Standard answer: Probably navy issue raven...For you?: Something that suits the amarrian style, so its probably navy apoc all the way. Not to mention the navy apoc is sexier than a navy issue raven. _________________________________________________ Breetime

First: seriously, if you ever want to quit Eve, you absolutelymust give me your char. Seriously.
Righto. It depends how you want to run your missions. If you want to warp in, F1, F2, F3, etc, warp out, then a CNR is for you. If you actually want to make use of your subscription, i'd use a Rattlesnake or a Nightmare. I have no idea how a Nightmare performs in PvE, but the Rattler has pretty much the most powerful non-capital tank in the game, it works very well for active and passive tanks, but I don't know if you have any shield skills. It can have very good dps if you for a Siege/Neutron setup with full gank in the lows.
At the end of the day, you can sell all the faction BS for what you paid for them, so if you don't fit rigs immediately you can try them all out.

It's like a faction typhoon with a small dronebay :P

I'd dare to say a nighthawk with passivetank is better :o

Well, rattlesnake is raven with 1 extra low and hybrid bonus. A CNR will do more damage, and no one fits blasters on a rattlesnake, it's like fitting them on a raven (well minus the slight damage bonus).

Bhaalgorn... it'll suck the life out of an absol or really close anyways. Heck it'll suck the life out of nearly anything, + it gets a web range bonus.

Personally, I think the edge the Nightmare could give you over an Absolution is range. I use mine with 4 cruise and 4 tachyons, giving me good dps up until my max targetting range while the cruises+drones can still safely cover anything that gets too close for my tachyons.

Snake is sexier than the NH. That's the single most important aspect of the argument, it may as well be the only aspect of the argument.
And the CNR is so boring...

Well done on totally failing to read any part of the thread. ---

Thanks for all the comments guys! I really appreciate it!
I think ill just buy a nightmare with mostly true sansha/core fitting. I really don't like flying a navy raven. Hopefully the damage isn't that bad compared to my absolution.. and hopefully they will boost the faction battleships sometime. ______

Edited by: Kattala on 30/04/2007 13:09:09 I'm flying Nightmare with taychons and cruises. All gear is based on sansha/blood/core stuff.
Tank is awsome and you could prepare your coffe without leaving lvl4 mission - your ship is safe :)
Look likes nice and.. I like it :)
Regards, -Kattala.

If you're bored with what you are doing now I would recommend training for vindicator / macharial skills. Both are much more fun to fly, and have the added bonus that they utterly pwn in pvp should you ever get bored of playing a single player MMORPG.

Edited by: ALPHA12125 on 30/04/2007 13:38:09 Edited by: ALPHA12125 on 30/04/2007 13:36:11 we had this discussion on our forums not too long ago. and the ship is a real pain to fit. this seemed to be the best fraxy :) could figure out:
Nightmare
True Sansha Mega Pulse Laser True Sansha Mega Pulse Laser True Sansha Mega Pulse Laser True Sansha Mega Pulse Laser Cruise Missile Launcher II Cruise Missile Launcher II Cruise Missile Launcher II Cruise Missile Launcher II
Gist X-Type 100MN Afterburner True Sansha Heavy Capacitor Booster Domination Warp Disruptor Domination Stasis Webifier
Internal Force Field Array I Tuvan's Modified Adaptive Nano Plating Tuvan's Modified Adaptive Nano Plating Setele's Modified Armor Thermic Hardener Setele's Modified Armor Kinetic Hardener Setele's Modified Armor Explosive Hardener Centus X-Type Large Armor Repairer Centus X-Type Large Armor Repairer
Rigs : Trimark Armor Pump I \ Auxiliary Nano Pump I \ Auxiliary Nano Pump I \
10868 shield, 13.9/s, E/T/K/Ex=11/29/46/64 18925 armor, E/T/K/Ex=80/87/85/84
3% Turret Cpu 3% Launcher Cpu hardwirings.
1315 grid and 2.54 cpu remaining.
it is a pvp fit but you should be able to replace the mods with cap rechargers and maybe upgrading to core-x hardeners.
edit: spelling

I thought that was the whole point of that ship?
