Hey Peace, I want to PvP some...

The destroyer is good at what it's designed for... and thats killing frigates.

That's all its good at. It can take on another destroyer but anything above that is really pushing the limit too far.

They really made dessis very good at what they do... and thats about it. Frial like ceptors, but very powerfull if you use them right, to do the right thing, at the right time, when your in the right place, and have exactaly 300 eggs in the cargo hold, and are sitting on a stool, and you ate chicken for dinner... you get the point.

Y'know... all I see when I look at those pics is empty space, one ship and a shitload of red and blue dots. Then again... I never really liked space sims. If it doesnt throw you out in the action and just shows you alot of empty space, ain't worth it in my book.

Nice to see other people can enjoy these types of games thought. I for one... want content now, not after 215615 hyperspace jumps and 12841047 of harvesting ore!

You have obviously never played EVE. Theres contact everywhere you go, and excluding the tut... you dont have to mine at all.

Lartnev · 2006-03-09, 11:43 AM

Probably never will, EVE doesn't exactly give you instant gratification

SC385 · 2006-03-09, 12:42 PM

i'm starting to get into the game now. not much to do except mine and find pirate drones to kill so i can get money and loot. i only need about 20,000 to get the frigate i want or i may just wait for a destroyer. any opinions?

Hamma · 2006-03-09, 12:44 PM

Get a frigate hehe - merlin for the win!

Rbstr · 2006-03-09, 12:53 PM

hamma: Why do you like the merlin exactaly? Everyone loves the ship for some reason(including me). It's weird.

Also if you like the merlin, you may want to try out the Gallente Tristan, It has a hybrid turret Damage bonus, instead of a range bonus, It has one less med, but one more low.

It also goes 30m/s faster and has less mass so AB's and MWD have more effect.

Hamma · 2006-03-09, 12:55 PM

No particular reason really - it's the first ship I got and I've loved it ever since. I tried out the others but prefer the Merlin - it has a nice mix of weaponry

SC385 · 2006-03-09, 01:08 PM

thanks for the input. i have the money... just need to wait 12 hours now for the frigate lvl 3 training to finish

Hamma · 2006-03-09, 01:15 PM

Yea toss that IBizzle to the curb and roll in a merlin. You won't regret it..

Ivan · 2006-03-09, 02:00 PM

Hamma's merlin has spinners and Noz.

Infernus · 2006-03-09, 02:18 PM

The nice thing about the merlin is that it is a workable weapon's mix... most mixed weapon frigates are.

I can't think of a single mixed weapon cruiser or BS that could say that except the Tempest.

All of my ships on the other hand are rather one track minded.

T2 MegaPulse Laser Armageddon
T2 Tachyon Beam Laser Apocalypse
(soon) T2 Siege Raven

and the best part is - T2 ammo for all!
