Losing a ship to lag is the worst thing that can happen in Eve in my opinion. But I haven't fitted up a BS since.<br /><br />I've been a fan of the Drake for two years, even back when no one wanted them in fleets, and I still fly them. ISK for pound, they are the best overall general ship in Eve. The Harbi might be a better BC and the Cane certainly is a great ship, but the Drake is the best generalist. When fitted properly with a skilled pilot it can sport a solid tank and decent dps from range. Swarms of them are killer.Rixx Javixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484974346562922694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-38623427448901609182010-10-16T18:22:24.419-07:002010-10-16T18:22:24.419-07:00Kirith, the big reason for Snipe BS falling out of...Kirith, the big reason for Snipe BS falling out of favor is that they really can't handle snipe hacs. The Snipe BS fleet will have trouble hitting hacs hard enough to alpha them, even using high-dps ammo due to sig and resists. They also aren't that much faster, and if they are over 150km away... once the hacs get a warpin on them... well... its bad. <br /><br />Drakes have an easier time hitting the Hacs, and a much higher speed advantage. The drakes also never get 150km away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-52214174881745311552010-10-15T19:08:08.997-07:002010-10-15T19:08:08.997-07:00This is consistent with my observations.

Now the one I have never sees any action. <br /><br />Perhaps a post discussing why Sniper BS fleets have fallen out of favour is in order?Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-63977870276208837632010-10-15T18:29:55.987-07:002010-10-15T18:29:55.987-07:00Fiddler's Note: In fact, my fellow blogger and...Fiddler's Note: In fact, my fellow blogger and designer of the "Fiddler's Edge" banner, the ever-popular Rixx Javix lost a Megathron at the outset of the battle for XWY. <br /><br />His account can be found at http://eveoganda.blogspot.com/2010/10/so-pissed.htmlMord Fiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734756410122516725noreply@blogger.com
