The problem is that you are completely handing off range control to the enemy. If they can deal with your drones, they can easily keep you at range and you are dead. Too slow to slingshot and actually catch a kiting ship, to slow to get within blaster range is scrambled. Keeping the drones alive, and managing the active tank is very intense and easy to make lots of mistakes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266160412251006850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-7736639449374590432013-09-07T12:35:09.574-04:002013-09-07T12:35:09.574-04:00I usually MWD fit my Assault frigs as well which m...I usually MWD fit my Assault frigs as well which mitigates some mobility issues, but it has its own set of problems (warp scram turn off, higher fitting requirements, more cap burn) that makes the AB attractive for my use.

Part of this is the nature of plexes where there is a hard set warp in and it easiest to engage the incoming enemy close there.Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-68547147372426186322013-09-06T12:21:24.001-04:002013-09-06T12:21:24.001-04:00Which reminds me - I just listened to your last po...Which reminds me - I just listened to your last podcast and in your patch notes one change you didn't mention was the medium long-rang guns (i.e. railguns). So when you said "in light of the patch" I wondered if you were going there. Do you tend to not see so much of the cruiser hulls in FW for that to be an impact? I'm curious if it changes the cruiser/AF dynamic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561998031457981240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-9179403558188997982013-09-06T10:35:21.356-04:002013-09-06T10:35:21.356-04:00Recently, I've wanted to fly assault ships mor...Recently, I've wanted to fly assault ships more frequently in my solo roaming. It's just that they're not really as viable as they have been in the past. I'll attribute that mostly to the increase in overall power level among T1 frigs, destroyers, and cruisers. The speed issue is very real. When assault frigs are often outrun by T1 cruisers, we've got a problem. The only one I'm really satisfied with flying right now is the jaguar.Araziahhttp://araziah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
