Hehe, ECM sucks a bit, found it really hard to fit both tank and ECM modules at the same time. I refuse to fly abominations like armor falcons or widows.

Two capchaining Sins can do 2500 dps being nearly at jump cap with tank (a lot of tank) and guns on. It is decent in hostiles places, like Fountain.

A month or so. And nope, armor logi is pretty much identical to shield logi, you just run armor reps instead of shield reps. The same cap skills apply, broadcasts work same as always, anchoring is same as logi. About the only difference is that armor reps deliver their HP at the end of their cycle, whereas shield reps deliver their HP at the start of the cycle.

Dominixes were super duper good for their era; they're still okay today. However, they're all about pitched fights on structures -- POS shoots, Dominion sov structures, etc. They aren't so hot for Fozziesov battles that flow through multiple systems with little tiny spikes of action.

You can make a passable Widow. Rapid Heavies are solid for "drop > blap > cloak" engagements and they mount an impressive tank.

The trick is just to not fit any ECM modules at all.

Widows with one or two faction or officer multispecs are OK.

They are a pretty colossal "gently caress you" to gankers if you're actually at the keyboard. I do like them though. Great for moving stuff in and out of wormholes.

2 Sins is tempting, but I like to fly the one I have although it took over 5 to 7 months to skill for it.

Pilots skills required for :
- Command Ship.
- Jump Freighter.
- other Capital Ships, and super.
- Control Tower actually running and controlled before unpacking for sale.
- And a few other ships and fittings requirements which I forgot now.

Ships not tested that I can fly :
- Mordu's Legion
- Heavy Assault Cruiser
- Assault Frigate.
- Some pirate ships and speed tanks.
- And a few other ships I forgot.

I'll try to go to Deklein and around in rookie ships and record it.

Is $15 a month still too much for people? Most people spend a minimum of twice that on lunches throughout the week.

Do a trial and jump into Goonfleet. Go at it hard and see if you like it. If you do, sub. If not, don't.

And do NOT play to pay for your month. EVE sucks and being forced to play it sucks more.

Two of mine do. They're really spectacular ships and can do a ton and they're slippery as hell. They're definitely the backbone of gank support. But I think they're a little overpowered, as we haven't figured out a way to gank them that isn't keep 20 non-criminal tornados 1m km from gate. So they probably need to be nerfed some.

Which is why your main should train them :haw:

Do people really cart expensive poo poo around in DST's? If you've got really expensive stuff (blue loot, implants, faction mods, blueprints) surely you'd use a blockade runner or an interceptor?

The only stuff I take in my DST is ships and gas, usually <700mil total. I think once I brought back two orthrus's but that's about as expensive as it's ever gotten.
