I've held a long term affection towards Amarr. I love to go on long roams, sometimes deep into wormholes and stay there for days, even weeks. Not running out of ammo is pure gold. And Amarr armor is hard. Hard. Very Hard.
For cruisers I've been especially fond of the Arbitrator, the EW&Drone boat. But given the amount of drone skills I've now aquired, what's more natural than to at least think about Gallente, and for cruisers their Thorax and Vexor?
To cut to the chase, I summarized some fittings, all level V skills, and compared DPS and Tank. Yes I know it's simplistic, but it's not meant to be more than a start. Here's the result:
Seems the frogs can deal out some serious blaster damage in adition to their drones. Most envyous however is the Vexor's 75Mbit/s bandwidth, allowing for 3 heavy drones or sentries where the Arbitrator only has 50Mbit for 2 heavies. Yes, that point is outside of the Gank/Tank diagram, showing that the analysis is simplistic, but it's still interesting.
Oh how hard it is to stick with decisions when new knowledge continuously creeps in :-)
