Anyone been using these since the changes? I just realised that they're not 100m+ anymore so going to give them a shot soon. Maybe something like this:
[Worm, ab/neut]
Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Power Diagnostic System II
Medium Shield Extender II
Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner
Warp Scrambler II
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
'Arbalest' Rocket Launcher I, Caldari Navy Foxfire Rocket
'Arbalest' Rocket Launcher I, Caldari Navy Foxfire Rocket
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Small Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Hobgoblin II x5
125 dps, 1026 m/s, 9700 ehp
Cap lasts about 4 minutes with everything running, a CPR would make it stable but I figured 4 minutes is good enough for most fights and that bit of extra shield love does help.
On the fence about drones, leaning towards 1 extra damage drone and 4 ecm.

I looked at it a while ago, I can't see any reason to fly one over an ishkur. |

As rare as rocking horse shit.
B-Types are better, cheaper and easier to get hold of. Not sure about fitting differences though. |

Ya my bad, was meant to be Coreli C-Type. A tiny bit slower than Gistii B-Type but adds a full minute of cap with everything activated. Updating the op accordingly.
And yeah, of course the Ishkur is better. At least on paper - trying to tell myself that the speed/agility + perma run neut while having a web might make this a viable alternative after all. At least with the added people-doing-stupid-things-to-get-a-faction-kill effect which you don't get in an Ishkur... (tbh I've never flown a frig that scares people away as well as an Ishkur)
Anyway I'll just remain ignorant until I have some kms to back up either side of the story  |

if you can keep distance and kite, you have AF-level EHP and decent speed...
Not sure if it's "good", really, but it at least seems like a viable use for the ship

I got one back in 05 and even with this boost, your better off in a Ishkur. Was actually hoping to use it sometime soon.... _________________

[Worm, Sentinel in disguise]
Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Medium Shield Extender II
Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I

Small Core Defence Field Extender I

99dps with hobs, 80 or whatever with warriors, but it can actually beat stuff, with 10k ehp and neuts. Not sure how well it goes against bigger stuff, but as a tackler in a shield rr gang it should survive once reps are on it.
I mainly tried this (on the test server) because my missile skills are terrible, but it had a pretty good record there.
The ishkur is also better at this if you don't mind dropping a web  |

| I really don't see a justification for using this ship. A friend of mine bought one, and I slowly but easily killed him after picking off the drones in my Vengeance, which isn't even that great of a ship. |

Anti-bomber work, a few worms and all those hounds are stuck at the vet for the rest of the day. |
