Mission ships: Difference between revisions

Level I: Complete rewrite. (T1) destroyers are advised for new players as they deal more damage than (T1) frigates
Line 72: Line 72:


While certainly some T1 destroyers are more suited than others, it doesn't matter too much and the question which you can already fly is more important for a new player. You can find fittings by CCP ingame under community fittings. Those are rather designed for the [[The Blood-Stained Stars|SoE epic arc]] but that epic arc also counts as a level 1 missions. Also rather don't spend a lot of training time on skills which are exclusive to that ship but rather train general [[support skills]] as well as missile or turret support skills depending on which weapon system you rather use.

=== Destroyers ===
Destroyers fall between Levels I and II. All destroyers have more offense than defense, and all depend on speed rather than armor or shields. As a result, they are somewhat fragile and thus less valuable for mission running. On the other hand, an experienced pilot can make excellent use of a destroyer's offensive capabilities in Level I and II missions. The offensive power will help you finish missions quickly, but keep in mind that these ships cannot take a lot of damage.
The most widely referenced mission destroyer is the Talwar.

The Talwar's base speed is slower than a frigate, but the destroyer's bonuses allow it to mount a microwarp drive without the usual increase to signature radius. This makes it very fast and hard to hit. It uses basic kiting tactics to string out a group of targets, keep them at range, and finish them one by one with its missiles. (''The Talwar can be a lot of fun to fly, but if you are serious about missions, you probably want to skip over destroyers and move directly into cruisers.'')
