    You were asked by the voice FC to adjust your fit and proceeded to argue with them and throw around your character age and claimed experience. Such attitude is neither welcome, nor received well and was handled fairly well by most standards. You are more than welcome to come fly with us when you can fit your ships as we request and don't give attitude.

    I want to fly what is best and most effective not some potato ship

    So saddle up in a 2400 DPS vindi. Sustained DPS, by the way.. No having to worry about spinup or anything. But I'm going to make a solid bet that you're not going to do that because you'd much rather whinge and complain that we don't let you fly what you want to fly.

    The Leshak has three big issues.

    First: Paper DPS =/= applied DPS. Yes, you can hit 3k with full spin up. Will you hit that during any site that doesn't have a tower bash? Not likely. Get jammed, your DPS is reset. Target dies, your DPS is reset. It takes more than a minute to hit that top point, most things don't last that long.

    Second: Cost and utility. To reach our fitting requirements demands a fit that costs 3-5 times a starting vindi and requires such concessions that you can't do anything with it. No webs, no paints, no fleet support of any kind whatsoever.

    Third: Speed. Leshaks are extremely slow. That makes keeping up with the DPS blob harder and getting into optimal range for damage less likely.

     

    We've done testing of the hull and it just isn't worth it. It doesn't do anything that even a beginner fit vindi can't do better in just about every way.

    Both. It's not a difficult achievement if you're willing to train the skills or plug in some implants. Or, you can fly the minimum fit and be treated as a level 4 basi. Those are your options.

    Heck, if it works for the multiboxer, maybe it'll work for us.

    What is tuned for a specific site for a single person doesn't do well for us at all.

    Take any of our optimal or starter battleships (vindi, mach, nightmare, maelstrom, hyperion, rokh, NApoc), replace the T2 guns with meta 4 using faction ammo, and any suggested T2 heavy drones with faction as well and you've got an alpha friendly fit.
