alternatives for sniping boats
« on: June 07, 2009, 10:08:39 PM »
The sniping BS being a looooong way away for me, so was thinking about alternatives to take along on these kind of ops.
Been thinking about combat recon frig killer, i.e. killing menacing frig sized boats that may come to harass the snipers. 60% rangebonus on webs per recon lvl is nice :) just sit cloaked near the group and decloak when needed...

also been thinking about stealthbombers: a small squad of SB's can really do some damage to opposing groups, esp with a bomb launcher fitted, or just fire Void bombs with 4 SBs and poof, there goes 7200 cap of everyone in a 15000m AoE  :D

too bad EFT isnt updated to the new changes yet... or should i download it manually?

EFT does have SB changes mine did it automagically a few days after.

SBs are only of use against BS's really with the change to torps, bombs have shit range.

aye but with a cardboard tank and that range i wouldnt fly a SB in an active role anymore, 60k maxed with tops compared to the 120 i used to get with cruises means death if you ask me.

and torps are crap against anything smaller than a BS, bombs would have a use but remember they dont discriminate friend or foe and by the time you fire a bomb wait for it to reach target and explode to re engage cloak youd be dead to anyone in a frigate who is on their toes to you appearing, they made them SHIT !!!
