After a week into my first Corp I was told to skill up for shield BS incursions. Shortly thereafter I first managed to unlock my first lvl 4 missions and found how woefully unprepared I was. Then I was told to skill up for a move to a WH. After a good deal of reading how I would need scanning skills and updating my training queue to match those requirements the majority of my Corp went inactive. <br /><br />A couple months into the game now and I finally feel like I have an idea of what I should be doing myself and don't plan on making many changes without solid advice/evidence. After all that, I read about the changes to Destroyers / Battlecruisers, and just laughed to myself about how spread out my skills are. At least the cross training lead me to a ship that actually fits my current playstyle and skillset.<br /><br />I'm still going to fly one of those damned Battleships eventually though!Nightingalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-63485808451973656812012-11-27T17:35:26.708-05:002012-11-27T17:35:26.708-05:00Jus tstopped by to give u some snuggles sugar-pie!...Jus tstopped by to give u some snuggles sugar-pie!

They are just too clunky for my taste. For that reason they're going to be among the last ships I'll train up to V.<br /><br />At the same time, I can drive a decent variety of hulls for precisely the reasons given in the last paragraph: you never know when you might need to ferry a ship to new happy owner (we once found a number of T2 ships deliberately left behind in a WH). Plus it allows me to join ops where I just need to take a pre-fit ship and then follow instructions.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-79597110161450492722012-11-27T12:56:55.634-05:002012-11-27T12:56:55.634-05:00I'm a wee bit biased about the Navy Meg. A bea...I'm a wee bit biased about the Navy Meg. A beautiful ship too, that gets close to the raw DPS a Kronos can pump out once your skills get up there. You need good skills across two platforms though to do it (drone/guns).<br /><br />But considering the time it takes to get all the prereqs for the Kronos... yeesh. <br /><br />The biggest difference between the two is how I treat them. The Kronos is generally a full active tank, whereas the Meg is more a great buffer plus some active on the side (if not PvPing).<br /><br />So. I guess it depends on your play style... or if you're going to yoink some ;)<br /><br />The biggest single thing (and I made that mistake when I first got into a battleship) was not having good enough support skills, either for the tank or gunnery.<br /><br />Your sig is such you take pretty much all of the damage, and you're generally too slow to mitigate much if any of it, so support skills are even more important.<br /><br />Just wish I'd figured that out before I lost two Domis and ended up slinking back to battlecruisers for a while :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
