I open 3 sites before heading out to roam: BattleClinic, DOTLAN, and your blog. As a player quite new to EVE, I think my biggest disadvantage in PvP is not knowing the capabilities of the various ships I encounter. A quick look at your blog often lets me know whether I stand a chance of winning a fight.<br /><br />Hopefully it's not poor form to mention it, but I've also started a blog of my own, thanks in no small part to reading yours, and if you ever check it out, any feedback you've got would be great.YAR5K1http://www.blogger.com/profile/10036888040867776360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-8226876865678046922011-08-11T21:41:11.472+01:002011-08-11T21:41:11.472+01:00People tend to just be cocky when they're figh...People tend to just be cocky when they're fighting something that they don't think is set up to solo. With ships like blackbirds and griffins, people tend to think a) they will die really quickly, and b) they won't have any tackle, so if they jam you you can just warp off. If it was genuinely not a solo blackbird pilot, there's a fair chance they will panic and try to run/burn back to gate etc rather than doing the sensible thing, which would be to jam you.Azualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284543108965798013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-979500895256887472011-08-11T21:25:32.916+01:002011-08-11T21:25:32.916+01:00As for the solo blackbird - I really wonder who...As for the solo blackbird - I really wonder who'd engage those? I mean, with one as a target, I'd expect to be permajammed 5s after the fight started... maybe just working if the BB "appears" to be AFK...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-26869267686221430962011-08-11T13:26:45.627+01:002011-08-11T13:26:45.627+01:00I very much enjoy your ship articles.

I have racial blinders on - I tend to concentrate on a single race's ships and capabilities - and this series is giving me a valuable look into others as well.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to write these.

In fact, it's potentially even more dangerous than a vexor due to its 4th mid slot (which lets the vexor pilot fit dual webs if frigate killing is their game)". You probably mean the Arbitrator pilot is able to fit dual webs.Saelyrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-3873978954177225822011-08-08T09:50:37.076+01:002011-08-08T09:50:37.076+01:00I find the Omen's excellent DPS compensates ea...I find the Omen's excellent DPS compensates easily for its average tank.<br /><br />Never ever use an MWD on a frigate within 60km of a Caracal unless you have a death wish.<br />The increased signature the MWD causes will make the Caracal's missiles super effective.<br /><br />The Arbitrator can field an insane shield tank. I find it strange that you pass over this fact.LuckyLuigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865621384129702664noreply@blogger.com
