While the Omens have the optionality to be used to brawl up close just like a Blaster Thorax, they are at their best when utilizing their range | While the Omens have the optionality to be used to brawl up close just like a Blaster Thorax, they are at their best when utilizing their range | ||
T2 Lasers will project excellent Scorch damage out to | T2 Lasers will project excellent Scorch damage out to 24km, and T1 fits will project a little less damage to the same range with Radio crystals. Therefore if facing a superior opponent where you don’t fancy committing to a close range fight, try to pull range (or start at range) and make them chase you. Your speed, plus range projection should let you pick off a few ships as you burn away, and let you gain an advantage, or at the least, let you disengage with a few cheap kills | ||
On the flip-side of this though, be aware that although Pulse lasers are primarily a short range weapons system, they don’t quite have the awesome tracking of Blasters, and the Omen itself doesn’t get a tracking bonus to the hull. Frigates who get up close to you can therefore out-track your guns, even with close range ammunition loaded - so tackle (Scrams + Webs) and using “Keep at Range” commands rather than “Orbit” are essential to hit smaller targets like this. The FC may elect to have the fleet anchored on him for this purpose | On the flip-side of this though, be aware that although Pulse lasers are primarily a short range weapons system, they don’t quite have the awesome tracking of Blasters, and the Omen itself doesn’t get a tracking bonus to the hull.
