Strategic Cruisers: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

* '''Tough tanks'''. All T3Cs can have very high resistances and very tough buffer or active tanks (the Loki is probably the most fragile, but then again its ability to shield ''or'' armour tank keeps the enemy guessing). They can be as tanky as T1 Battleships if fit properly.

* '''High DPS'''. Compared to other Cruiser hulls, T3Cs can put out battleship-level DPS if fit properly.

* '''CovOps ~~cloaking~~'''. All T3Cs can be fitted to warp while cloaked like a Covert Ops or a Force Recon ship.

* '''CovOps scouting and Black Ops'''. All T3Cs can be fitted to warp while cloaked like a Covert Ops or a Force Recon ship, and can light [[Covert Cyno]]s and take Black Ops Jump Bridges.

* '''Bubble immunity'''. All T3Cs can be fitted to ignore warp disruption bubbles.

* '''Difficult to probe'''. The difficulty of probing a ship down is based on the ratio of its signature radius and sensor strength. Although they must make fitting sacrifices, T3Cs can achieve very high sensor strengths and small signature radii, and thus become possible to probe only with the highest of probing skills.

===Bait===

T3Cs can mount fairly ridiculous buffer tanks, pushing over 300,000 effective hitpoints with the right subsystems, skills and implants. Alternatively, they can mount similarly ridiculous active tanks, able to shrug off several thousand DPS and resist all attempts to neutralize their capacitors (short of literally dropping full neutralizer-~~rack battleship~~ on them). In these configurations, they make great (if expensive) bait.

===Logistics===

All T3Cs can be fitted for either remote armor or shield repairs (racially dependent, or both for the Loki), and can output comparable remote repairs to a regular logistics cruiser, while maintaining greater capacitor stability (with no cap chain involved) and effective hitpoints. And because logi T3Cs are fitted with 7 Medium remote repair modules, rather than 3 or 4 Large modules, they have much greater flexibility in shifting target and repair priorities.

And because logi T3Cs are fitted with 7 Medium remote repair modules, rather than 3 or 4 Large modules, they have much greater flexibility in shifting target and repair priorities. However, T3C remote reps are shorter-range than normal logistics cruiser remote reps, forcing logi T3Cs to be grouped with the main fleet. (Although, this can ''also'' be an advantage, because it can make these logistics ships more difficult to identify and target.)
